I have had FMS for mant, many years and just when I thought I had all of the crazy symptoms it had to offer, I noticed over the past few years as it got cooler out I would be literally freezing at even 70 degrees! When I do get chilled like that I start to shiver SO hard I feel like I'm having a seizure or something. Cold never used to bother me, matter of fact heat used to. Now i relish the heat!! So, anyone else shaking like crazy from the cool temperatures?

I am cold all the time too. I sleep with electric blanket. Wear long sleeves in the summer and I live in Florida.
I also get really cold when everyone else is quite comfortable or warm. I make sure that I always have something to wrap up in and if I'm going to a friends house and not already left a blanket there I make sure I take one with me - I always have blankets and pillows in the car so I can snuggle down if someone else is driving
A complete thyroid exam would be my thought. When thyroid is not working proper there's many people (dogs/cats too) that have problems with their thermostat. Those people are always too cold, too hot, too fat, too skinny.
I am always freezing. I have to keep a sweater with me because I just get cold anywhere, anytime. If there is any kind of breeze I end up freezing. Everyone around me think I am crazy because they are comfortable but this is just how I am.
I have found that if I take vitamin B-Complex, at twice the recommended dose, my skin is not so sensitive to touch.
The reasons I started taking B-Complex were symptoms.
My eyes, usually only one at a time, were twitching at the outer corner. Also my skin was so sensitive that it hurt if someone, like my kids, gave me a hug.
The final reason was that, we hear how B-12 will give us energy. Well, I needed all the energy I could gather.
My Mom told me that she read that B-Complex helps our nerves better communicate among themselves.
The twitches are caused from nerves.
The sensitive skin is again, nerves. Right?
So, if I take the B-Complex regularly,
I don't have eye twitches,
my skin isn't AS sensitive,
and I have more energy.
