Difficulty regulating body temperature. Does anyone else have this?

I only take Estradiol as a HRT and have been on that for 24 years. No other symptoms except sometimes when I'm in bed under my 6 blankets, I start an involuntary shivering and feel like I'm in a blizzard. As I mentioned, have not brought this to my PCPs attention because this last year we were focused on my pancreatic issues.

Just a note about Estradiol. I was on it for 12 years and it was my pharmacist who told me it should not be taken for longer than five years. I just told him the benefits of it outweighed the risks.
Have you heard anything like this?
I finally did go off and it worked out okay for me thankfully.

I have Raynaud’s Disease which causes body temperatures to drop. I’ve learned to cope with it. I wear layers of clothes, use electric blankets and I wear an Ororo vest most of the time. Surgeons wear these to stay warm when they are in surgery. These are fabulous! I also wear Little Hotties Adhesive Toe Warmers on my feet/tops/pants and put OCOOPA Quick Charge Hand Warmers in the pockets of my clothing. It’s been expensive purchasing these items, but they have certainly improved my quality of life. You should definitely check into all of these.
