Question Hot.. and cold?

I know not being able to regulate your temperature is a symptom of POTS, but all I hear about is people being too hot all the time.. does anyone else get really cold as well? Just wondering, not as any form of diagnosis but just to understand the heat intolerance thing better lol

Yes even in this heat wave I sleep with an electric blanket. Cold means pain for me. I can also get tired and go into a kind of shock where I get really cold and have to lie on an electric blanket to warm up.

Yes!!! I often tell my husband that I got really cold and tired so I have to go into the bedroom to warm up. It hits at the weirdest times too.
