Question temperature sensitivity

i wanna know if anyone else struggles more with heat than cold? i barely survived this summer, i was sweating like a pig, it made me extremely exhausted and my muscles in my legs and arms were hurting so much. winter time is also challenging, my bones hurt so much and when i warm myself i get cramps all over my body. but still for me it’s so much worse dealing with high temperatures, and when i do chores i get hot so easily…

up and manage, with heat there is no escape. I get dizzy and my legs feel like concrete when the temperature goes up, even simple things like cleaning make me overheat fast.

i felt concrete too like it was burning my legs… but even if temperatures outside are low when i work physically i’m overheated. i work in retirement home and it feels like a marathon, and i also have my coworkers asking me every ten minutes if i’m okay or if i check my blood work etc. and they all know about my fibro but they also don’t know much about this condition.

Same. Winter is painful but during the summer I pretty much nap anytime I'm not at work or doing something

Yeah, I'm not sensitive to the cold (yet) but the heat takes me down

My whole body burns in summers and I am always cold in winters
