Hot Flashes?

[brooke]

Does anyone's child get sudden hot flashes, whereby the temperature can be 60 degrees and they complain about being hot? We have checked out thyroid which is normal. So I have to assume it is all part of this disorder.

 

Thanks!

That is interesting! My child is always hot! She really doesn't put words around what she is feeling very well, so I would never have though hot flashes. But she is always yanking her pant legs up and turning them into shorts whenever she gets hot. Now that you bring this to mind, I would bet that is exactly what she is feeling because I don't see this 24 hours a day but more like many times a day but only maybe 2 days a week.

Yes, we experienced this. I could actually feel his skin was warm but had no temperature. My son had this for a couple of months when he was at his worst with rhuematic fever. Kathy

Interesting, because, my child, in addition to hot flashes and a list of symptoms too long to report now, has the SAME reaction to those things that do no go his way, or when the expectations that he has are not met or realized.

I hope that she is going to exit this procedure a "happy-go-lucky" child!

Take care!

My son definitely had hot flashes. He would wake up in the middle of the night and want to shower because he was so hot. I think this "illness" affects so many of the organs/functions of the body. My son's blood sugar was also high, his iron was low, his vitamin D was low, and his bilirubin was high. I think he had undiagnosed strep for way too long and the body was fighting the bacteria too hard and it affected the rest of his functions.

DD8 is rarely cold and never wants to wear a jacket. DD7 always feels hot, like she has a fever but she doesn't and she can get hot, sweaty hands and feet too. She's always pushing off the blankets and taking off her clothes because she is so hot.

Yes we have been through this before too...(we also checked thyroid) .and still sometimes now, post IVIg.... I see her face pink and she feels 'warm' (like I know she MUST have a fever,....but she doesn't according to the thermometer). She does seem to do better with a cooler temp outside and I have even advocated for her at school that 'if she says she is hot, do not make her wear her coat (but a jacket!).

I had the hot flashes with my infection induced rash too. In hind site, I had them with respiratory illness a few years ago too. They are awful. Had the fatigue. Could take a 1 1/2 hour nap and still be sleeping by 9:00 p.m. unheard of for me. I had no idea that chronic fatigue type symptoms could go along with what was happening. Also, my oldest son has complained of hot flash symptoms , during the night mostly. Youngest, is more like what some of you are discussing as far as being thin, and not wanting to wear a coat, sleeping with ceiling fan on even when it's very cool etc.

 

Mid 20's internet buddy, who has been on every med in the world for "TS" has talked about these too.
