Temperature control

Hello everyone, it's a very long time since I've been on here but I've got a curious question to ask you.

 

I seem to be having trouble controlling my temperature. I get very cold and my fingers go prune like, but then I suddenly go hot and sometimes sweat. It doesn't always come over me in a wave so I am not sure about putting it down to menopause, it can be quite sudden. Then I can go cold again.

 

Does anyone else suffer from this and do you know if it is MS related.

 

Thanks.

 

Jill.

Hi Jill,

 

I have the same problem and am also going through the menopause. I think some of it is caused by the menopause but I don`t think it`s the only culprit.

I take Tramadol and one of the side effects says sweating, so I think that may be causing some of my hot & cold sweats. It may be worth checking the side effects of any medication

you`re on just in case it could be that making your sweats worse.

I`m not sure if MS can cause hot/cold sweats or not but I know I used to get them long before I was going through the menopause, so it makes you wonder doesn`t it?

MS interferes with the safe passage of sensory information from the nerve endings to the brain.

 

If the brain isn't receiving the right message about "am I hot" or "am I cold", then the brain will not be able to address the situation and modify the temperature.

 

So, I believe that MS may be playing a part in all of this. :sadwalk:

I too, have real problems controlling my inner thermostat.

 

I can also be really cold, unable to get warm at all, then, without any warning, I'll suddenly feel very hot.

 

It's very frustrating indeed but I believe it can be fairly common among us!

    • Body temperature

      Hello friends I am a student and i believe i have found a treatment i hope we can ask the medical board to allow. I believe that adjusting body temperature will help in treating MS. Just like when a person goes outside when its cold. They forget about what they were thinking and focus on the cold. The reason is their veins get more narrow which stores more oxygen and makes them focus. I am having made a needle that adjusts blood temperature so veins are more narrow and stores more oxygen. The needle also heats up the blood and releases oxygen. It makes a person warm when its cold outside and cold when its warm. Theres no drugs. Its only a needle that heats and cools blood. I only ask for advocates to ask the medical board to allow the device to be used. I promise it will help a lot. Please reply  I hope you like what I share James

    • Body temperature

      Hi everyone, I've been sitting in the lovely warm sun this morning, reading my Kindle, sunglasses & hat on when I decided it was time to move around. Well! I felt really unwell & was glad to take a proffered strong hand. Feeling much better now in the cool of the sitting room and after a long drink. Just made me wonder if ms can make you lose your temperature awareness & control. This would also explain my sudden sneezing fits! Any views out there? Jill x

    • Bad control on mouse pad

      Does anyone else find it difficult to use the pad thing (dont know the technical name) on a laptop which you use instead of a mouse? I do my shopping on the internet and couldn't figure why I kept ending up with 2 of things and then I realised I keep jerking and tapping the pad twice. In general I just find it hard to have that much delicate control of my hand and wondered if anyone else has the same problem? Thanks Katie

    • EYE MUSCLE WEAKNESS AND WEAK BLADDER CONTROL IN CHILDHOOD

      I have been reading a very interesting article about childhood neurological problems in relation to my own family situation. However, it states that eye muscle weakness and/or bed wetting up to age twelve could be an indication of neurological problems in later life. This has got me thinking - I had lazy eys probs and weak bladder so am wondering if there is a link to ms. I am curious as to hear if anyone else suffered these muscle weakness probs in childhood.     Linds
