feeling hot

Does anyone have a problem with feeling hot? We know when it's between 6:30 pm and 7 pm because it's kind of like someone threw a switch on me and I suddenly heat up terribly. It lasts until about 3 or 4 a.m. and then I'm fine until the same time next evening. This only started about 2 weeks ago. Could this be part of a relapse? It's driving me bonkers. I also have lupus, so it could be that, too I know. Both the rheumie and neuro told me the symptoms cross over and some symptoms could overlap and be from one or the other or both at the same time. I've tried to get into my doc and can't get in until the end of the next week. I checked my temp and just below 99. I normally run about 97.8 at most normal is 98.1. I know this isn't hot flashes because I don't flash, I just burn (lol, gotta laugh or I'll cry)

Any time the outside or inside temperature hits about 70 degrees, I get sweltering. My hands feel like they've been baked at 450 in the oven. If I do not put ice on me, I will get lethargic, slur my words, and barely be able to walk.

I get very hot. I am most affected if there is any heat above just cool/warm. I sleep with the fan on in winter in my bedroom and I often have body parts like a foot/leg, shoulders/arm out of the blankets because i am too hot. I never ever run heat in my bedroom, it is like an ice chest and even then I run the fan. I am not in menopause either, the blood tests say. This topic was also on another MS forum and got a lot of response Many people with MS or even us still not diagnosed suffer from being hot. I cannot even have a hot bath as it makes my muscles weak and my body burn from the inside and sets of the tingles all over my skin. It also makes me very fatigued.

Interesting too my core body temperature runs at 1 to 2 degrees below normal and everyone who answered this on the other board said the same thing.

Fascinating hey!!

Hi, there.  My body can't seem to settle on a happy temperature.  LOL

In the morning, I'm quite comfy in my nightie and slippers, with the temperature set in the house at 68 degrees.  Later in the day, I'm freezing, in trackpants, a t-shirt, two sweatshirts and wooly socks, WITH shoes, at 72 degrees.  In the middle of the night, I wake up and am way too warm, have to stick various body parts out from under the sheets.  The house is now at about 60 degrees.  

I know the night time ones aren't hot flashes, they last for a few hours.  Not coming and going in flashes.  And I'm only 43, LOL.

When I take my temperature with a thermometer, it is usually 'normal' for me at about 92 or 93, if that makes sense.
