Re: overheated with exertion?

[Guest guest]

I TOO, GET OVERHEATED WITH EXERTION. IT DOES'T TAKE MUCH EXERTION. DO YOU HAVE

CFIDS AS WELL AS FMS?( CHRONIC FATIGUE IMMUNE DYSFUNCTION SYNDROME) . i HAVE

BOTH AND HAVE ALWAYS ATTRIBUTED THE OVERHEATING TO THE CFIDS HYPOTHALMUS

DYSREGULATION. ( the hypothalmus CONTROLS ONE'S TEMPERATURE).  oVERHEATED IN THE

SUMMER MONTHS AND FREEZING IN THE WINTER MONTHS. (SEATTLE AREA). aLSO, HAVE

AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS BUT HAVE BEEN ON SYNTHROID AND GETTING PERIODIC TSH'S

DONE SINCE 1991. BUT THE TSH DOESN;T INDICATE HYPOTHALMUS FUNCTIONING. I HAVE

NOTICED THAT THE HEAT REALLY BOTHERS ME THIS SUMMER AND IT HASN'T BEEN THAT

HOT-77-80 DEGREES. I AM POST MENOPAUSAL AND I THINK THAT IS SOME OF IT TOO.

Yep Donna, I sure do.

And it's the middle of winter over here in Australia. Probably not very

cold by international standards, but it feels pretty freezing to me,

lol.

I've definitely noticed that in recent years the slightest exertion

will overheat me massively. Something as small as standing up for a

little while can do it. When I first started getting really ill, I

would be in the shops and complain to myself that their airconditioning

sucked, because I was so hot. I didn't realise it was actually me. And

I wasn't even 30 yet then, so I don't think it was hot flashes!

I think maybe it has to do with the whole autonomic system dysfunction

thing, but don't quote me on that.

take care, ness.

OMG!! This is so me too!! I barely have to walk across a room

sometimes and I am dripping sweat into my eyes! My entire head, neck

and chest gets soaked! I honestly thought something was drastically

wrong with my hormones but I had a total hyst (no ovaries) at 35 and

that was 15 years ago and I have been on ERT since, so???

I find it really interferes with my life, I cannot get dressed

sometimes because my clothes get wet. Don't bother trying to do hair

and makeup - it is hard to leave the house when you look like you just

stepped out of the shower, ya know? I sure wish someone would have

some advice for us as to anything that might help stop this, we don't

need anymore " disabling " symptoms now do we??? At least it is nice to

finally see that I am not the only one with this problem!

Hi new here I am 47. I too sweat alot when I do things, I have to go

and sit down for awile. My doctor if you want to call him that, said

it was just my age and menopause, but I disagree with that, it is not a

hot flash, it's happens with exertion. Any advice.

Thanks Robyn

sweated more tidying son's room than a whole curves workout previously!
