It's 34 C outside that's pretty hot. I feel really cold and have winter clothes on. At night I burn up or have night sweats. I'm 65 years old and it's not my thyroid. I have RA, Psoriasis Arthritis, plus Reynaurds.

Unfortunately, you have multiple autoimmune diseases that are contributing. Dysautonomia along with Raynaud's can be causing vasoconstriction, chills and loss of temperature regulation mechanisms in the body. You may want to see a neurologist to get checked for dysautonomia. However, main treatments are still immunosuppressive drugs for RA and PSA plus calcium channel blockers for Raynaud's. Your neurologist may be able to offer some steroids. Beta-blockers are known to work for arrythmias, if you have abnormal heart rhythm.

Dysautonomia causes a wide range of symptoms due to dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, affecting heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, temperature regulation, and more.

Cardiovascular: Rapid or slow heart rate (tachycardia or bradycardia), irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), low or unstable blood pressure, fainting or lightheadedness, especially when standing (orthostatic intolerance)
