now that I have been on Metformin for a few months, I don't get as hot as what I used too. So it must have been a hormonal issue that was fixed when my insulin levels regulated.

I think I might understand what you mean.  My doctor told me that my excessive sweating is due to PCOS and is called Hirutism, I probably spelled that wrong.  I literally could be sitting in a freezer doing minimal work and my body temp will still go up.

Not that I am awear of. I mean I know my body, and I am not sure if this is related to pcos...but I do have more difficulties controling my body temps. Meaning, how most people can cool down quicker from hot to cold, or cold to hot. I take a bit a longer. Normally when I come in from a really hot day at work, it might take me like 15-20 minuets to cool myself down with a fan, while my co-workers just get right to work and cool down normal. I don't know if it has anything to do with being overweight, as most overweight people have this issue. But I have noticed, my body has gotten better. Now it takes like 10-15 minuets to cool down.

Just hot most of the time, especially when I first get out of the shower.

What do you mean? Do you have a fever? Or just hot all the time?
