Heat intolerance, fatique, no energy

[js59]

Hello, I had not been diagnosed yet. I saw some doctors but they don't know why I have those symptoms. Basic blood work came back negative. I have a huge heat intolerance, with temp over 71 F, can not take warm bath, can not eat anything warm,I have hard time to concentrate and communicate, abdominal pain, pain in left leg and hip.  Soon as the heat will hit me my face and fingers will be like on fire. I am having the same symptoms with emotional stress. When i have stressful situation  immediately my face is like on fire, I am having very dry heat in my face(it is coming from inside me, my breath is hot) and color of my face is deadly white. I think that something is happening with blood float at that moment, almost like blood is not coming to my face. The same time my fingers will get very swollen, fluffy, red and hot (I think the blood from face goes to fingers). When this happen - immediately I have pressure in my head (feel like something cracked in head), I get very fatigue and tired, have no energy. I have to lay down. I can not eat or drink anything warm, If I have only one sip of anything warm I get big sharp pain in my stomach/esophagus all my body will shake, huge heat in face and fingers, extremely fatigue, totally drained, sick, I have to lay down. I am not eating warm food for 8 years, I can not be outside in summer time, I can not cook (heat from stove makes me sick, even steam from warm plate would make me sick). Can anybody help me, please?

I have heat intolerance also due to autonomic neuropathy, but not to the degree that you have. I also have panhypopituitary, 2nd adrenal insufficiency, but my thyroid is ok per repeated tests.  My chiropractor is always stating that very few people follow the book. Their illness doesn't read like the general description of the illness in medical books. My doctors thought I had Carcinoid Tumor Syndrome due to flushing in face. They are not sure now about the Carcinoid. The main thing I do to control temperature irregularities is coffee when I'm cold and iced tea when I'm hot. I also do fans or space heaters depending upon temp.  
When they take your temperature, is it usually 98.9 ?  Mine runs low 96 or 97. Don't know if that is a clue of not. Good Luck with the journey of getting it figured out. I've been at it 10 years and have more questions then answers.

   Wow! it sounds like you are really having to deal w/ a lot w/ this "Heat Intolerance" Issue. This makes life very hard to deal with I know.

    What sort of Doctors have you seen for this if any? How long have you been dealing w/ this issue?  Do you have any other underlying conditions......MS, NCS, POTS, Thyroid Isuues, Anxiety, Panic Disorder?

       When checking Thyroid just a basic TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)  test is really not sufficient (in my opinion). The Thyroid is a Buttrerfly shaped, or some people call it the shape of a Bow-Tie. Each side has a Specific job in converting one hormone to another. hope I am making sense : )

    So a Really Good way of checking the Thyroid is of course TSH and T3, T4, and Reverse T3.....These will certainly eliminate if there is a problem w/ Thyroid in any way.  (all done through blood work)

      As you already know Heat intolerance is the inability to be comfortable when external temperatures rise.  Some of the more common causes of Heat Intolerance can be:
•Amphetamines such as appetite suppressants
•Caffeine
•Excess thyroid hormone (thyrotoxicosis)
•Menopause
  
    I am NOT in any way saying that you have a Thyroid condition, but certainly worth getting that Completely Ruled Out!

I will check back w/ your post to see what you answered to these questions...

Have a geat night,
