Did you one day just find you run hotter than you used to

Yes! I always used to be freezing cold. Any slight dip in temperature or slight draught anywhere near me and I'd turn blue.

A few years back I started very seriously lifting weight and kickboxing training. I gained muscle and I think I must've improved my circulation because I'm rarely cold these days.

It's actually lovely.

Addisons, but I've heard that both can go hand in hand.

Mine went haywire during the menopause. I was always the cold one wearing coats in summer and now I'm the one sweating at night when it's 5C. Everyone says my house is freezing (as does the boiler control) but I'm not, although I can tell the air is cold.

I have several autoimmune conditions but it's recently been found i have a nodule on my adrenal gland. Wonder if that's the cause.

I run hot and I’m sure it’s because I’m overweight. When I was commuting regularly (I WFH since 2019) I’d walk to the station and wait on the platform in December and I’d be wearing a T-shirt. Other people would walk to station in HUGE winter coat, hat, scarves, gloves the lot.

DD has been calling me “the best warm Mummy” since she was about 3. Now 15!

DH complains I burn him in the night I’m so hot (but no night sweats/hot flushes ever)

I don’t like running hot. It’s easier to make yourself warm than it is to cool down.

I keep my home quite cool which means other family member have to wrap up warm!

I swing between running hot (perimenopause) and running freezing and needing a hot bath. I think my internal thermostat is just broken!

Graves?

Get yourselves checked for lymphoma. I had it years ago, and therefore whilst I have recently had a hysterectomy I did not put night sweats down to that but b symptoms. Turns out I was right.

Yes, it started a few years ago. I'm 51. I just run hotter and can't wear coats or wooly jumpers anymore. I don't have hot flushes, just feel hot most of the time.

This is me! I’m 50 and am going through the menopause. I’ve never had hot flushes but definitely feel hotter than I used to. When I take my dog for a walk I have to strip off as soon as I get home down to a t-shirt and I have to have my feet sticking out of the duvet at night or I overheat.

I actually did the opposite! I was a very hot person for all my adult life, it became quite a problem, for example at work everyone would want the heating up too high for me, I was in short sleeves but still uncomfortably hot. Then a couple of years ago i realised I was starting to feel cold a lot of the time in. Mid 60’s . I have read that stress and anxiety can make you feel colder, something to do with fight or flight. I have had a particularly difficult few years.

I have always run quite warm but after menopause my thermostat got stuck and I’m much warmer. As I say to DH is it wasn’t for your skinny arse we would almost never need the heating on, you need more padding mate.

Yes, I used to be a cold person but since hitting my 50s I'm hot all the time. Not hot flushes, just always hot and very hot feet at night. Can't remember the last time I wore a jumper! Hoping that after the menopause it will ease - I remember my mum being the same and she's gone back to being always cold again now but it took a long time.

Yes! Not overweight and reasonably fit, but post meno (10 years ago) and autoimmune overactive thyroid, I sweat like a racehorse at the slightest exertion/in shops etc... Wear layers, and always whipping my cardi off.

After a shower, I use the hairdryer and am coated in sweat again. Had to give up on a fringe because it was just sticking to my forehead, and have separate bed to DH.

And these hotter summers can do one... 😡

Less sugar and alcohol helps.

Ever since having my daughter. I can't sleep I'm always a million degrees! Doubt (hope) it's perimenopause as I'm only 30, imagine just hormone shifts due to BF.

Yes. My inner thermostat broke during perimenopause. I'm out the other side now by a good few years and I still run hot.

I think I’m the opposite. I’m just cold all the time unless I’m moving around. Even in summer during the heatwaves I had to put a jumper on if I was just watching tv and not moving for an hour or so. I’m a normal weigh if that’s relevant. If anything on the slighty heavier side.

Yes!! After I had my first child 9 years ago I just started running hotter and it never went away. I went to my son's Christmas fayre at his school (indoors) and I was sweating in a t-shirt whilst others were in coats, hats and scarves 😂

YES!! People are always assuming it’s a hot flush….. it isn’t. I’m just naturally warmer than I used to be. I find it annoying as I’m generally too hot in shops and at work etc.

Yep it was the peri menopause, then just when I got used to it the menopause hit now I'm the idiot walking around in a short sleeve t-shirt in zero degrees (I start off dressed like a sane person then hot flush hits and I'm in my own personal island in the sun)

I have always run hot. This has been for all my life. Most of my ex BF said I was like a heater in bed.
Saves me money though as I don't have the heating on often. House is 14 degree right now and I am pretty comfy.

Yes, I thought I was past the menopause, as all the hot sweats had been gone for a few years, but now the slightest thing can set me off, and my granddaughter is always asking me to put the heating on. However, I am quite overweight, so I put it down to that. Currently on a weight loss journey, in the hope that the sweats and other things will improve.

If you're worried op go the doctors and tell them your symptoms, they will probably do a blood test and check your CRP, if it's high they'll delve deeper.

Not my only symptom, no. I also had dreadful fatigue and a fuzzy head and a few other random, mild issues.

I find that whenever my temperature is higher, all my old "symptoms" come back again. I think they are all linked somehow but my doctor doesn't agree.
