Re: excessive body warmth and CFS/NMH

[Guest guest]

HI Mzwix

Is she going to a good Endocrinologist?, or to a GYN. Maybe have her FSH level

checked. I get terrible hot flashes, but I am older, though CFS can cause

hormonal problems. It seems like I am always hot. I always want a window down

when driving, or a fan on in my room. But I figured it is just the hormones.

Good Luck

excessive body warmth and CFS/NMH

Does anyone know about " excessive body warmth? "

[Guest guest]

Send some of that heat my way!! I am always freezing and even have insulated

underwear ready in August!

I dread next winter- each one gets tougher for me with the cold.

Yes I have exactly the same problem. It is very difficult over here where the

humidity is so high as well. Though I am finding winter to be difficult because

my toes go black and freezing cold.

My 21-year-old daughter, with NMH and CFS, always feels extremely hot -

even though her temperature tends to run around 97 degrees. We keep

the house at a chilly 62 degrees, but she's still hot. The slightest

activity seems to worsen this sensation as well as worsen her

fatigue.

[Guest guest]

I am the opposite...I get cold VERY easily thanks to my really low

blood pressure.

One thing that works to balance this is using far-infrared

reflecting clothing. I ONLY wear those kind of socks and I also

sleep in the long underwear and in the winter I wear it under my

clothes. I also use a comforter made from it which is very good by

the way for pain-related things and sleep disorders.

They're made from a special fibre that reflects the body's healing

energy (far-infrared which is an invisible part of the infrared

spectrum). They are made to release heat when the body is hot and

reflect it back when it is cold. An added bonus is that these

clothes help to reduce acidity in the body.

They weren't that cheap but they wear very well. I've had mine for

about 4 years (2 sets) and they get washed a lot.

They also give the body more energy than normal if tired. I bought

them from Nikken where I have a membership so was able to purchase

at wholesale prices.

What kind of water is she drinking?

What does NMH stand for?

You might also want to try EFT (www.emofree.com) which can help to

adjust any energy imbalances in the body. There's a free manual to

download.

Hi, Jane.

You're the only one who's responded that you feel hot most of the time (like my

daughter). Have you found anything to reduce your body heat, other than staying

out of hot environments/

Thanks,

Marsha

Hi, Sharon.

Thanks for the information on far-infared products. I'll check out Nikken's web

site for more details on purchasing....if they think it will help cool my

daughter off.

You asked what NMH is. It's Neurally Mediated Hypotention...which is a type of

orthostatic intolerance. When she stands or sits upright for any length of

time, her blood pressure drastically drops - because of a miscommunication

between her heart and her brain.

You also asked what kind of water she drinks....It's bottled water from the

grocery store.

Take care.

Hi, Nerida.

My daughter's hands and feet get quite cold, too - even when the rest of her

body seems so warm. Have you found anything that helps you feel more

comfortable?

Hi, Jeanette.

My daughter recently saw her GYN - and everything checked out normal. The doc

felt that any hormonal testing would likely prove negative since her periods are

regular. So, I don't want to put her through more tests for something that

doesn't seem likely to be a possible answer. It's so much effort for her to go

out that I try to limit these outings for something worthwhile!

LOL, for me wearing shorts and tshirts in the dead of winter has helped, and we

Needless to say we have the AC cranked in the summer here.

Dear Marsha,

I too feel hot all the time. Even in winter I need the fan blowing on my

face-not so much the rest of me. I can overheat in winter too-I need to wear

layers and can not handle it if someone has the heater on and no windows

open-feel like I am suffocating. I have not found much that help-but I always

take a hand fan with me.

Well the Rheumotolist things it may be Raynauds-as I have Sjogrens and Lupus or

else it is poor vascular blood flow. If my toes get really cold they go a dark

red and blister where they got real cold-like a burn blister with fluid in them

and feel terrible. He says I have to wear closed in shoes (WHICH I HATE) and

socks when I am in the house sigh. Weird when your face and body are hot and

feet and hands freezing heheh.

Hi,

I am in Menopause so much of it from that. I take Birth control, pills to offset

some of the estrogen loss, but I still get hot flashes and stay warm if I am

doing anything at all. If I am lying down reading and totally at rest then I can

cool down.

Thanks

Did you happen to suffer from the heat before menopause? (My daughter is 21 and

has regular periods, so we don't think it's hormonal.)

Hi, Nerida.

I'm sorry to hear that you haven't found anything to relieve the constant heat

you feel. My daughter feels the same way. Sharon suggested I look at

www.eft.com which offers a free download explaining a form of acupressure. Have

you seen or tried this?

Dear Marsha,

Unfortunately, not anything really amazing.......I try not to drink or eat

anything hot!! (coffee, hot tea, soups) And I don't own any heavy sweaters,

turtlenecks, nothing in wool! I pretty much wear short sleeves year round, and

when hanging around the house, I'm in shorts all winter long. If I do get hot

in a public place where I can't reduce ANY more clothing (for fear of indecent

exposure LOL!) A cool paper towel, rag anything to get cold water on and wrap

around the back of her neck, under her hair even, can help, also cold water run

on the wrists will help, but these are just bandaids. I have long hair and

getting that off my neck helps tremendously! Even though I run warm all the

time, I find it odd that my normal temperature runs about 97.1...........If my

temp is the " norm " 98.6, I really feel hot and sweaty and must stop whatever

activity I'm doing. Small fans, as

Nerida mentioned helps tremendously also.

Good luck to your daughter, I can TOTALLY relate!

Hi Marsha:

Before Menopause I tended to get cold easily. A story, came to visit my Mom's in

Fl, and I turned her heat up the the dark, next morning it was like 90 in the

house. I had turned it up to much, lol....we had to open window etc, Fl. isn't

that cold in the winter anyway.

But now I am always hot, fanning myself etc...I still can't give up my Hot Choc

though. I found some that is 99% caffeine free, and love it.

Thanks

Hi, my name is n, I'm also 21 and I always seem to be too hot

or too cold. Have you looked into Chinese Medicine? I went to a

Chinese medicine clinic/school a couple of years ago and one of the

things they told me was that I had too much heat inside me and to

eat more " cold " foods and avoid " warm " foods. Do you know anything

about this? I wasn't able to keep going so I didn't learn much about

it, but maybe it could help your daughter. If you do a search for

warm and cold foods and Chinese medicine you can learn more and find

lists of which foods are in which categories. For example, I was

told that fish is a " cold " food and chicken is a " warm " food. Hope

she feels better,
