Hot and cold problems

Katycat

Ok so I feel hot which is to do with autism so I'm told but I still get cold especially in my hands. Last night I had my fan on and my window open and I came to freezing cold and feeling unwell. It took a while but I warmed up and felt better. But twice today I've had similar experiences where I opened the window and had the fan on and then later was freezing cold again. My skin was off colour as well.

I'm worried that I'll get hypothermia but I don't see what else can be done. I get hot and then I'm overcome with coldness when I try and beat the heat. I can't be the only one who suffers from this problem. Any advice with this would be welcome.

  • If feeling hot has to do with autism, then this is news to me. However, I am not dismissing what you have said. Whatever the cause is, it seems like there is an issue with your body regulating temperature.

    Right up until I became menopausal, my problem was that I often felt cold and struggled to warm up. I'm the same now unless I'm having one of my hot flushes.

    I am sorry my reply isn't helpful. Hopefully, there will be others who share the same issue and can advise.
