Members shared their varied experiences with temperature dysregulation in fibromyalgia, with some feeling persistently warm or hot while others described an internal freezing sensation that doesn't improve even indoors. Several members explained that fibromyalgia affects the body's internal thermostat and its ability to regulate temperature, with one member's doctor attributing the warmth to nerve pain. A recurring theme was the unpredictability and frustration of these temperature shifts, which can fluctuate throughout the day and impact household comfort for both members and their families.

Yes! I was told by a consultant that it is because fibro makes the body unable to regulate its temperature. Something to do with sensory input

Yes! You could fry an egg on my neck most of the time, lol! Doc says it's nerve pain. Seems strange to me but he's certain and he should know because he has MS.

Apparently people’s internal thermostat is affected by Fibromyalgia. I mostly feel too hot. Sometimes cold inside as described. My wife and step daughter who lives with us feel cold mainly. Our central heating thermostat goes up and down like a yo yo.
