Hi Sadly. So sorry you are suffering so much with ME/CFS. This disease has taken so much from me, as well so I completely understand what you are going through. While I have trouble tolerating both extreme heat and cold,  I'm not familiar with the excessive sweating you are describing. I have always suffered from hyperhydrosis (a condition where I sweat excessively from my palms and feet) but I don't think this condition is related to ME/CFS at all. Ther are treatments to help control the sweating.

Could the excessive sweating and heat you are describing be related to hormonal changes, perhaps? Hope someone else has some suggestions or feedback to offer.  KPD

Hi Sadly,

Yes I get this but used to get it worse when I drank alcohol more often. I would have to go lay back down constantly because I'd have my symptoms heightened and the hot and sweating was one of them but everything would be worse too.

Two nights ago, i was really hot when cooking but I get this when not cooking too. I put it down to overdoing it. Also if I'm out walking and my legs "lock" I get really hot and sweat with the pain, sitting down and waiting helps this. I sometimes wake up red hot in the middle of the night. One of my symptoms has been, since the beginning of my cfs/me, intermittent hot cheek and ear. They go bright red. I also get the exceptionally cold symptoms too, especially one freezing cold foot! Weird symptoms we get for sure!

How is your fluid intake and where do you live? Is it in a hot climate? This year summer has been really hot! Just wondering about dehydration as that won't help I imagine.

What I would suggest is taking breaks when cooking or sit down while doing it-you can get folding high stools. If you have a partner/family member living with you, ask for help preparing and cooking. My bigger problem with cooking is chopping things and lifting things. I also drop things and wasted part of a meal a week or so ago when my hands gave up whilst lifting an oven tray so now I ask my son/daughter to get things out of the oven. It's like my wrists give up on me.

Asking for help is key. I can't ask for help walking but, I have a wheel chair on standby if I "need" to go out otherwise, I stay in when I'm not well enough to walk much.

Hope some of that helps

I hear ya...I cannot stand heat. I'm on hormone replacement patch and it helps alot. I have hot flashes every 10 minutes without it. 28 years of hot flashes. I can't take any heat at all. I had to spend some time in Florida and that was torture. Everyone comments that you can cure beef in my living room. I keep it pretty chill. Then I have days I can't get warm. Whatever I just roll with everything.
