My body temperature changed after my fall and could never understand the randomness of this.
Sorting lots of papers last week which uses up energy, and for a change added some music into the mix! OK, a no no but did it to help with the boredom and monotony. The body heat started rising and then Overload/flooding, call it what you will. BuT I took notice then of when the overheating started, what was I doing and what came next? Next day repeat of above minus the music, and then with the music, when did body temparature change and flooding begin? Aha moment. Became aware of same in everyday life; the precursor for me leading to overstimulation/flooding is the rise of temp before full symptoms take me out. Has taken me nearly three years to work this out - the old brain not joining the dots like it used to but see this as progress. Now all I have to do is take note and act. And to my old mate noodle buddy, 'noodle leg and noodle arm' is standard vocabulary now for some of us on the other side of the world. I could only smile when asked if my leg was 'el dente' when it showed sight of wobbling recently! Hope Easter Bunny visits you all, I have been indulging and am now looking forward to my Nordic Walking lesson shortly which might help burn off a few calories. |

I don't doubt you.
I have been cold since my accident. I have 2 symptoms that occur as precursors. I get very cold deep inside and start peeing a lot then along comes other things eventually. Bud |

Now that you have mentioned it im not sure if mine sounds the same.
These symptoms were more pronounced in the early months after my fall but it has been lessened now. - body feeling hot and cold for no reason - feverish like sensation but none on the thermometer and when checked by my gp |

My son (27 mo. post-injury) gets this all time -- frequent feelings of body temperature disregulation, feeling feverish without it showing as such on the thermometer, etc. Best guess is that this is a symptom of autonomic nervous system dysfunction that occurs as part of PCS.

I've had the body temperature swing for a long time. Feeling cold when I shouldn't have, then all of a sudden breaking in sweat. I still sweat at night during sleep sometimes. One time I had a very weird thing happen (thankfully just one time) where I started shaking uncontrollably like I was really cold (I was in bed at the time) and so hard that I was holding my head with my hands so it wouldn't shake as much. It lasted about two hours. Went to the doctor the next day and he couldn't find an explanation for this.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months. March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again. Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before. June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback. November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback. 2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring. Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far. June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement. September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear. November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing). January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work. Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens. |

I have this also....was explained to me that it is some damage to the Hypothalamus that regulates body temp and other things also.

I had a serious struggle with body temp regulation in the beginning. I also had other autonomic disregulation issues, blood pressure, pulse. The only aspect of it that I could affect is blood sugar. If I let my blood sugar get low, I would freeze and get very moody, even brain fog. I needed to eat properly so my blood sugar did not peak and/or dive.
Slowly, as my upper neck stabilized, I started to improve.
