    Default Cold but sweating?

    I don't get it. Here I am sitting in my office. I'm shivering. Because of the wierd high temps in NY (It's in the high 40's, low 50's all week! This sat should have a high of 57!!!!) the heat's not on. I get up to put my coat on... my underarms are all sweaty. I have the stupid sweat marks on my thin knit sweater.

    I hate this. I though you're only supposed to sweat when you're hot!

    This weather in NYC right now is terrible. I don't like this warmth and humidity. Dress in layers and don't wear too much wool.

    ^^^Agree with the not wearing wool. I notice it makes me sweat more under the arms. I just go with a regular cotton blouse and you can add a sweater or blazer over that.

    This weather is crazy here right now in the NE. Warm as hell during the day, almost balmy and absolutely freezing at night.

    Are you drinking/taking any caffine, or any other stim (diet pills, wake-me-up pills)? Maybe I'm pointing out the obvious, but they make you sweat whether your cold or not.

    And yeah, this weather is trippin me out a bit. Although- I hate cold, so I ain't complaining too much.

    Sounds like you have a cold/ flu and maybe a fever?

    Cold and hsivering but sweating? Sounds like a fever, drink lots f water and take a few aspirin to break the fever. Dress in layers. This way you can adjust for the temps of the enviroment your in.

    LOL. Good thing about it is when you go to the mall, there's lots of good sales. Heck, I didn't have to buy a coat and boots this year...or that many sweaters. Which I needed this year if it were to be cold out. I am going to get me a coat for next year, gotta take advantage.

    Not necessarily a fever. Are you in any way keyed up when it happens? I'm not on any kind of caffeine or speed stuff, but I will often get sweaty when I first go to work, even though I'm cold. Or while I'm doing an exam...it's anxiety, even though there is no reason for me to be nervous. Subconscious anxiety does it for me. I just have to wear lots of antiperspirant, and wait it out. It usually subsides pretty quickly (and it's not hot-sweating...I'm usually freezing when I first get into work, and may even have goosebumps...This has happened to me since i was a teenager. C'est la vie. Botox is too pricey.)

    Well, guess so. I made that post yesterday, and I've been battling a nasty stomach virus since. I couldn't eat anything at all yesterday. Had some green tea. Left work early, was asleep by 4:30. Puking the green tea by 8. Been sleeping on and off till 11 this morning. Been watching cheesy tv movies.

    Am actually looking forward to going to work (hopefully) tomorrow. I've tried toast sooo many times. Just hasn't stayed down...

    In order to keep warm our bodies burn more calories (this is what happens during hypothermia which is why some people are found frozen to death have no clothes).. no you aren't having hypothermia, but your body is using reserves to keep warm.. which is why you can be cold and sweaty.

    However from your last post, it looks as though you have a nasty flu bug... I hope you get better soon!

    Thank! I'm already feeling better. Been sleeping on and off all day.

    Was getting delusional about never eating again as my tummy was looking GREAT after one day of throwing everything up...

    But I'm also REALLY happy that about three hours ago I kept my toast down and have graduated to tomato soup with toast.

    Now I'm thinking I was crazy for 'looking forward to going to work...'
