Polio in 1953, post polio syndrome last 20 years, mainly presnted by cold intolerance
Prostate cancert ADT treatment in month 3 - hot flashes and night sweats
Cold, hot, cold, hot - body seems to not know how to feel - cold or hot
Anybody else with both diseases?

Never had polio but Orgovyx does the same thing to me; I am always cold, until I’m not and then I am cold again. Your polio might exacerbate the swings and make them mire intense.

Same story as @heavyphil - no polio, but Orgovyx has messed with my thermostat in a big way - sweat-dripping-down-my-neck hot flushes followed by shivering chills. The effect comes and goes for me - a week or two of minimal problems and then a few days of misery. Exercise seems to help mitigate the effect.

I, too, am almost always cold..... and I now live in Florida. I have to wear winter clothes all year. I've had post polio syndrome for 30 years, struck whole body in 1952. I had to move out of Michigan due to being sick every winter, lived in WV for 13 years and did fine. Had to move to FL for parents' care, but the weather caught up with me. No matter how hot it is outside, all of the buildings are air conditioned to the NTH degree. Of course, being much older has a lot to do with poor circulation and lack of almost any movement.
