Hello. I have very exaggerated temperature responses constantly. I think it's the crps, as it didn't happen before that. I am constantly changing clothes on some days and the thermostat !! My hubby is kind and doesn't comment upon these strange occurrences anymore. Sometimes, in a day, I switch from a tshirt to a full fleece, etc, as I go from "hot" to "cold" even when the temp is stable. A lot depends on activity, but sometimes I am just sitting and I am completely "ebbed" out of my clothes, it can be the texture , fabric, weight , where it is touching, all I know is it needs to be changed. I don't want to recommend a particular company on here, but if you have crps in your arms, hands, like I do, I found some super soft, nice fabrics for me (pm me if you want details). I really just believe it's our cns or sympathetic nervous system kind of overreacting compared to "normal" people's response to any stimuli. That's why the rx meds that suppress the sympathetic or CNS response can be very helpful to some

With the heat, is this related to inflammation as well? Its now thanksgiving, so have a great one!! Take care
