I Always Hear People With Fibro Saying They're Hot All The Time. I'm The Opposite-ALWAYS Freezing. Is Anyone Else A People-sicle Like Me?

I turn off A/C vents on my side of the car in Texas summers, Carry a sweater and throw to movie theaters, my body temp is always 97 now instead of the 98.6 it used to be. I actually fainted once because I was outside in the heat, and didn't realize I was over-heated until I dropped (I never felt hot or even started sweating). So I guess something is still trying to regulate body temp, but it just seems like my thermostat is "broken".

It’s very common for those of us with fibromyalgia. I have an “infrared” heat pad it really helped me with the cold. The heat goes 3 inches deep into your tissue. Google it and you will see its safe. My daughter also has fibromyalgia and loves hers too. I go to sleep with mine at night.

My mom was like that. The house was always stifling with heat. After she got Alzheimer's we had to always be checking the thermostat. She'd turn it way up every time she passed it.

Oh noes!

Also I'm too toasty and too cold too if that helps any?

I am in a cold bedroom, with my window open, bare chested. Calm down ladies. How can I feel so hot. My body feels cold to touch. It is so strange. Lesley thinks your hot OGre. Take care every body.

There is no cookie cutter for fibro just so you know.
Although many of us have a lot of similarities, it's almost like a no 2 cases are the same and can really be anything.
