Body heat, like hot flashes
Does anyone else have sensations daily, several times a day, of being too warm and even hot, as if you are having a hot flash? I also had an anxious, prickly feeling, until my neurologist prescribed pregabalin. I have had this for 2.5 years. It started within two weeks after I had Covid. Every test I have had showed results within a normal range. My body temperature is always below 98.6- around 97.5. It has always been 98.6. It is as if I don't have a thermostat- I get cold, put on a jacket, and within minutes I get too hot. I have not worn a sweater since this began. Oddly, I don't notice it when I am outdoors. After going to several specialists, I take Lyrica and Veozah, which have helped. My doctor at the Vanderbilt COVID clinic in Nashville has recommended taking spore probiotics and magnesium threonate, vitamin D, 30 min. of sunshine a day, and no dairy products, especially ice cream. Hard cheese, in very small amounts, is permitted. I am never comfortable. This feeling is always with me, just in different degrees.

My endocrinologist said she thought it would eventually go away, but it has been two years since she told me that.
I have had times when I am very comfortable, then all of a sudden I feel as if I am standing in fire. My heart rate is normal, I don't sweat, my face does not turn red. It takes some time to stop. I also can have a freezing cold time, and I have noticed I get very tired afterwards and take a short nap. I five years, I have not noticed anything that triggers these episodes.

1 Reaction@earthangel i've been under the care of a naturpath for a year; had a bloodwork panel done and i'm highly sensitive to many many foods; when i eat a food that is toxic, i become flushed/have tingling in feet/brain fog and immediate fatigue where i have to lie down and nap. i can eat very few foods w/o a reaction; also get cold often and live in az where it's been 110. your symptoms might be from food intolerance.
@earthangel same with me. One time I got really hot for an hour and then extremely cold
Food allergies do it to me as well… All the blessing of the Covid fairy! I also had to restart HRT to try to handle the cold and Hot spells. I am up almost every morning at four or five overheated, stay up for an hour to cool down, go back to bed and freeze for two hours. Doctors have no idea what to do.
