Hi Dee, I think it has to be hormones, and of course anything that is out of whack affects the MS. So menopausal stuff sure does wreck havoc with our bodys.

Hugs and Love, Jackie

May the peace of God be with you...the love of Jesus enfold you...and the Spirit of Christ fill you.

>> Hey everyone,......I don't know if this is an MS thing or not, and hopefully someone can shed some light on these symptoms that have been plaguing me for just about a year now. > > Every day around 4 pm I start to get freezing cold. All the body parts that aren't covered turn to ice. I usually lay down around 6 pm, and of course I am warm under the covers, except lately my upper body has been shivering even under the covers. I sleep for an hour or so, then up until around 11 pm I stay cold. After 11 pm, its like someone lights a match under me, and I feel the warmth coming back into my hands, and the rest of the cold areas. I stay warm again all the way until the next day and the whole cycle

starts over again right at 4 pm. I'm thinking its hormonal, or something to do with menopause, circadian rthyms, diabetes, thyroid, neuropathy, my heart or ??? > Another new thing is I'm falling asleep every day now at 1 pm, and I never use to do that either.> > Any ideas? I've searched and searched for answers and I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced any of this too? > I will see my PCP about this, but she probably won't have any answers either unless something shows up on a blood test. I honestly don't know if symptoms like this are MS. However, I do know my own 'thermostat' is screwed up and a friend of mine, who also has MS, has this problem too. Since we are both postmenopausal we agree that hormone imbalances are also a possibility.*sigh* Who knows?Dee------------------------------------
