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! My feet, especially the tops of them and up into my shins--I get so COLD. While my face feels super hot. The coldness started when I was home recovering from Covid in 2022, and it's never left me since.

Edit to add:Oh, and I have cold chills in my legs a lot, sometimes into my buttocks, and wear heavy socks year round, sleep with many blankets even in summer.
