Hi MiaVita,

In the first 24 hours after I was injured I experienced difficulty with my body temperature. I seemed too hot one minute and too cold the next. Apparently it is possible for the hypothalamus to be damaged. This is involved in temperature regulation.

I agree with Mark that it would be worth getting your hormones checked out. Was the blood test that you had done comprehensive enough? If they just checked one hormone, then it wasn't. The are a bunch of hormones that affect each other and it needs a good doctor or a specialist to check it properly. Perhaps you have had this done already, but if you have only had one thing checked then that doesn't sound good enough.

I would also recommend trying some drugs. You should be seeing a neurologist who can advise you there. I have tried amitriptyline and pregabalin and I think that they have both helped me. I was also being over stimulated. The drugs have not cured the problem but I think that it would be terrible without them. I can remember what it was like and it sounds like the sort of terrible time that you are having.

I am sorry for your difficulties and wish you all the best in sorting it out.
