Members overwhelmingly confirmed that hot flashes and difficulty regulating body temperature are common experiences with fibromyalgia, with many describing sudden sweating during simple chores like dishes or mopping. Several members shared that they swing between feeling burning hot and freezing cold, and one member humorously called it 'Fibropause,' while another suggested small sips of electrolyte drinks as a helpful coping tip.
