Constant High Core Body Temperature/Not Fever

I am a 32 year old female, recently (January) off the birth control pill suffering from a core body temperature that always lies within the range of 99.0-99.6
I never had this problem until getting off the pill, and actually have always felt more cold than warm. I feel constantly warm, and if it is hot outside I hate it, I feel too hot. When others are comfortable I feel HOT.
I had my thyroid checked and it is fine.
My obgyn has no answers for me but to say it sounds similar to pre-menopausal symptoms (feeling hot).
She said a possible imbalance in the hormones from being on the pill could maybe affect me, but by now (being off the pill since January) my hormones should have righted themselves.
My primary doctor said it is nothing to worry about since it isn't too high... it is not a fever... but it is really annoying and uncomfortable and I can't possibly be the only one who has this problem???
Clearly something is differnt than before or not functioning as well... what could it be???

I was reading your comment and cant believe how similar your symptons are. Im a 40 year old male but have been dealing with this since I was in elementary school. My body is constantly hot and always sweating. I also have to go outside after a shower and getting ready cause I feel like im on fire and sweating by the gallon. I live in Pennsylvania and I even sweat when its freezing outside. I have been fighting this for ever and is very exhausting and embarrassing. It affects everything I do in life even socially. I also find that after eating is the worst and also have to lay down with a fan blowing on my face until I cool down which is only temporary. Certain types of clothing or fabric seems to also make it worse. Im not overweight either cause I don't eat much because it makes me so hot. I have to change my shirt at least 3 times a day or more. Because im always so hot and sweating I am constantly thirsty and always have a water with me. I know how you feel and its horrible feeling like your on fire all the time. I have been asking my doctor for years and never can figure out what is going on. Also with me I know if my wife is laying next to me and touching my bare skin to hers also triggers my temp to get to hot. I was wondering if you sleep with a fan blowing on you? I know I do and have been since I was a kid. I always wondered if that fan blowing on my face all night would affect my body temp during the day? Well I hope you figure it out and share it with me and I will likewise.

I am a 52 year old woman and I have had this problem all my life.  As one of 5 kids, I was the only one constantly boiling.  I can't stand central heating, closed windows or clothes with sleeves.  I am constantly soaking wet and I get huge sweat patches on my clothes.  My face always looks shiny and I can feel sweat run down my scalp within a pony tail. For many years I have taken the anti depressant Venlafaxine and for 18 months I have been taking meds for ADHD.  However, until 19 years old I had never taken a tablet and I have been boiling hot since my first memories.  It is impossible for me to go to a hot country, as I can't even stand the UK temperature in an average winter.  I am always embarrassed because it is impossible to cover up.  All my family just think I am odd and I don't blame them.  I strip of most of my clothes as soon as I get home, as I feel I am suffocating and can't catch my breath.  Life is a nightmare.
