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

Not hot flashes more like you just don't need the heating up so high and pyjamas that used to be cosy become stifling

Happened to me about five years ago and tbh I miss enjoying snuggly jumpers etc! And heavy duvets.

If it did happen did you ever go back?

I’m the same over the past few years. I have to ask visitors if they’re cold after my best friends admitted they almost freeze to death when they come for drinks or coffee at mine. I rarely put the heating on but when I do I can’t sleep because I feel like I’m suffocating. I’m in my 40s and assume it’s my age

Yep, mine coincided with weight gain

Yes, I've got it. I've always been a bit of a hot bod, but this last year it's getting ridiculous. I'm gerring very hot even after very little exertion.

What can be done?

This happened to me a few years ago. The night sweats are what sent me to the doctor. It turns out, I too have an autoimmune disease. The high body temp and night sweats are calm whenever I receive treatment. As soon as I stop, they come back with a vengeance.

Was this your only symptom?

Hm I wondered if it could be thyroid but everything else seems normal

Yes, but then I was diagnosed with IBD and night sweats are a key thing, then the early menopause hit too. 😂

I otherwise feel fine but do worry it could be a sign my organs are all aflame or sthg
