Re: Anyone get fevers? - Sweating and Hot

Bleah, yeah - I get it too. It's not a hot flash, I just get really hot
and sweaty very easily. It doesn't take much exertion and like you
said, suddenly I'm drenched. Changes in room temperature are difficult
for me to get used to - if I've been outside and come inside I
immediately get all sweaty, but being cold is also really uncomfortable
and can give me the chills.
I've run a low grade nearly every day for about 4 months now, but the
body temp problems also happen to me regardless. I hate it! I'm glad it
was brought up because I had never heard of it being connected to endo,
but I sure have to wonder now that so many people here seem to be
experiencing the same thing.
I'm working as a substitute teacher right now, and it's hard enough
without some 9-year-old pointing out that I've got sweaty pits!
