I have RA and Fibromyalgia also and my body thermostat is broken as my doctor says. I am sweating then freezing the sweating then freezing. I sit with a heavy robe, fuzzy socks, and two blankets and still I'll feel cold while everyone else in the house is comfortable. I am not on methotrexate and I am not going through menopause it is a symptom of fibromyalgia or could be my immune system no one knows the cause but I've been like this all the years that I've been sick.
I have been hormone pill for years. And this is totally different. Hot than cold within minutes.
Am the same as you, MrsG, hate it with a passion. Sometimes I feel like fainting. Had this before RA.
@A myRAteam Member so different than me, it makes no difference if I am in hot or cold Temps, I will just break out sweating for no reason. It gets so bad I can't blow dry my hair, or wear makeup!!
Some days I'm just cold and must put on a robe over my clothes. Then you'll get too warm and must disrobe quickly. Sometimes I run a low grade fever. I wish I could totally recognize a pattern to determine if this has anything to do with Methotrexate. However, I've learned that it's extremely existential and necessary to increase the intake of water to flush my system properly after Methotrexate. I would settle for (if necessary) diarrhea versus severe constipation!
