Members connected over the frustrating experience of simultaneously sweating and feeling cold chills, with many comparing the sensation to having the flu or a sunburn, and several noting that their doctors have been unable to explain the cause. Many community members described potential contributing factors including fibromyalgia symptoms, thyroid issues, medication side effects (particularly Cymbalta), and hormonal changes, though the change of life was ruled out for several members by their doctors.
