Hello Lanelle,
I get fevers & chronic night sweats (where i have to get u to change my
pyjamas as they are wet through).
Because Endo is interrelated with Infammation, and infammmation is
closely related with an increase in temperature it makes sense that we
get hotter than the 'average' woman.
I weasr as much cotton clothing as possible & if i do go out of the
house i take a change of top, deoderant & a sweater. Sometimes when i
am really hot, & Endo sick I get freezing cold feet & hands.
It's all part of the Endo process.... Sami koala
