Re: temperature regulation

August 26, 2004

I too have temperature problems.

I get VERY hot and sweaty easily and for NO apparent reason (i get

bad night sweats and VERY hot in bed sometimes) and my temperature

seems to naturally run that way (I also have RSD and this can cause

temperature regulation issues too I am told) but I have a thermometer

to keep a check on it and when ever I am sick I tend to get the fever

but not always with a noticible temp spike.

On the other hand I also feel that cold badly (I also have Raynaud's)

and have to be careful not to allow myself to get cold (especially my

hands).

I wonder if it is EDS related as so many of our systems seem to be

interfered with by the EDS (more than most doc's think).

As we seem to be sensitive to many drugs it seems likely to me that

the drug WAS responsible for your son's reaction. I have

found/developed many allergies in my life (especially now in my

30's), and am very careful when trying new medicatins (and even keep

prednisilone on hand to combat serious drug reactions (I have had my

face swell up like a balloon froma dose of antibiotics etc).

Good Luck with finding another med to use for your son's asthma and

with finding out about the temp regulation problems. I would be

interested in anything you find out about it.

Subnormal temps do seem to be common, as do the temp regulation and the

migraines too. All of those symptoms are called 's Thyroid

Syndrome.....check out 's Thyroid Syndrome -- Hypothyroidism --

Hypothyroid -- Thyroid

disease for details and how to correct this without meds. This is one of the

issues that makes some suspect EDS has an autoimmune component, as this syndrome

is common in all autoimmune disorders too.

A couple of the underlying factors in thyroid malfunction are flouridated

water and chlorine. Check out the chapter on water at thedoctorwithin,

vaccines,

holistic nutrition, enzyme therapy, chiropractic, mercury in vaccines, FDA,

immunizations

These are also symptoms of dysautonomia

Hi Liza,

Ditto for me on the temperature regulation thing.

Normally run a low temp about 97.4 but paradoxically

have problems with night sweats and hot flashes

despite maximal doses of HRT. Another frustrating

problem is the reoccurence of headaches either

migraine or cluster, not sure after many years

abscence. All thyroid functions are completely normal!

Yup....but those tests they run only test the levels of thyroid T3 & T4, not

the ACTIVITY between them. Our activity level of thyroid hormone seems to be

the issue, and most docs don't test that routinely. They run the one test, it

comes out normal, they assume we are fine. My insurance wouldn't pay for the

proper test....but I have a similar issue with my old cat, so I paid to have

the same type test run on him & Voila! Major hyperthyroidism! We put him on

an herbal product for thyroid & it seems to be doing very well. So I tried Dr

's supplement regime & within a couple weeks my body temps went from

96.6 average to 98.2. Same with my daughter. Our energy level has improved,

her depression is much less....the only issues it hasn't cleared up for us seem

to be GI sensitivity and reactions to some foods, so that could be something

we haven't found the reason for.
