Dave, MANopause or not, (yes, this is a real thing), RA and medications we take mess with out Hypothalamus gland in our brain significantly. This gland regulates our body temperature, our appetite and our sleep circadia. So then, it is not uncommon that people with RA like us or people with other autoimmune diseases get messed up in many ways because of effects on our hypothalamus gland.
Yes. Since being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, secondary to RA, I have an extremely narrow comfort zone. Can't stand being just a little bit too hot or even being just a little bit too cold.
Yes. 70-74. Depends on the day and when I need to take my Humira shot. I think this is what you are asking. My normal body temp is 97.6. So if my body temp is 98.6, I actually have a fever. Have been this way for years.
Yeah I meant if it's under 70 I'm freezing and over 74 I'm hot and almost sweating! Drives my hubby crazy but he loves me so it's ok:) glad I'm not the only one!!
@A myRAteam Member Not sure what you mean...if you are talking about body temp, I am like @A myRAteam Member, my normal body temp is about 97.4, as Kiki said, if it's 98.5 I actually have a fever but medical folks don't seem to acknowledge that.
If you're talking about external temp, I was cold my entire life, had to keep the thermostat on 72 degrees AND wear fleece or a sweater. Then menopause came along.....Now I am always warm, often too warm. I'm done with menopause but still am very warm. I actually like it, after being cold my whole life it's a real gift to finally be warm!
