Hot and cold intolerance? Anyone else?

[PurpleNel]

I have Hashi's and am on NDT.

My temperature fluctuates wildly from day to day and sometimes even hour to hour. It isn't unusual for my temperature to be sub 35 degree C, like today. When it is I am so cold I am shivering. However, any attempt to warm myself up - taking hot shower, hot water bottle, turn heating up etc - just makes me feel sick and nauseous.

Does anyone else get this?

Any tips?

Which NDT are you taking? They are different.

This started before the NDT

I get it regularly, thinking back I’m sure it was one of the earliest signs that my thyroid was struggling. My poor son and my hubby could be roasting and I’d be wearing several layers and sitting by the fire. I’m still freezing for most of the year, but if we get a hot spell I really struggle, and I’m used to being outdoors all the time. I’m hoping that things will improve once I get my meds and supplements right.

Thanks for sharing. Do you also get the nausea if you try and do anything to warm yourself up?

[Horsey07]

I get a lot of nausea, but haven’t really noticed it as a direct result of trying to get warm.

Interesting - perhaps it is just me. A warm shower or a hot water bottle actually makes me feel like I am going to vomit.

This disease seems to affect people so differently. Do you get nauseous in hot weather?

[PurpleNel in reply to Horsey07]

Yes I do. Used to be such a sun seeker now I am a shade seeker.
