Hi.  I have relapsing and remitting MS which has been fairly stable for over 3 years.  I have weird issues with hot and cold and have heard of heat or cold intolerance but am not sure if what I have is the same thing.  I sometimes get strange sensations like where I accidentally spilt a drop of cold water on my foot and it felt like it was burning.  Also sometimes feel like I have a cold rod in my leg but nothing is there.  However the most troubling are if I get warm at all I break out into what feels like a hot flash I guess.  I get so hot I can't stand it.  I even feel like my ears are burning. My face usually gets red, I start sweating and I just can't seem to cool down.  Sometimes I will walk outside in the winter with just a tee shirt and jeans on and it is 20 degrees outside and I am still sweating.  Also if I feel cool - I go into feeling like I am freezing and just can't stand it and it takes forever to warm up.  The "hot flashes" are the worst as I can't handle the heat at all.  And they happen constantly.  I can't even wear any regular winter clothing.  I have to wear a t-shirt and then maybe a hooded sweat shirt that zips over it so I can take it off in a matter of seconds - it is that uncomfortable!!  At times when I feel cool and grab a light jacket or shirt to put on I usually begin sweating in less then a minute.  To further complicate - it could be menapause.  My hear even gets soaked from sweating.  I have NEVER been this way.  And it all started around the same time of my MS diagnosis so I am not sure which it is.  It is embarassing and impractical but i can't find any solutions other then to dress in layers.  It also causes trouble with sleeping and waking up constantly to either too hot or freezing.  Any suggestions?
