I had a weird sensation last night. I was fine then all of a sudden super hot, pouring sweat. No fever, I checked. Then got chills about 30 minutes later. Happened during the night when I was sleeping, woke up drenched in sweat then chills.
Random temperature fluctuations, or, a lack of bodily temperature control are fairly common among lupers.
Night sweats, especially. I wish I knew a method to moderate it, outside of finding a nice medium for you to set your thermometer at.
I stock plenty of very adjustable clothing. It means I have to change clothes fairly often. My shower and laundry routines are on point.
Outside of that, rest as best you can, grab a portable fan and enjoy the sensation of being at beach on a fine Saturday. You've earned it!

I have been having the same issue since i was in my early 30s. It really sucks when my body starts to get hot I turn bright red before I start sweating so bad my hair is drenched to the point I look like I just took a hot shower. When this happenes I get extremely irritable and kind of mean. Its crazy how many odd symptoms there are that make no sense
