I noticed my cold tolerance improved when I used steroids temporarily for my spinal pain attack/strain. I wonder now if I have some adrenal fatigue thing going on? It was down to 50 and mid 40's at night and in the morning many days this summer on vacation!
I noticed my tolerance to cold was better with steroid injections in spine. The injections did not help with pain.

I told guy at pain clinic about this and he said hot flashes were a side effect of the injections.
