skin feels hot to the touch Posted: 06-08-08 19:34pm
my girlfriend skin feels hot to the touch
as if she has a fever. but her temp is
96/97.8
she's so hot that when she sits down or
lays down and gets back up after a few
minutes and you touch the couch spot or
whatever she was sitting on it feels
really warm like a heater was on it. she
never complains or says anything about it
tho so it's as if she dont know she's so
hot.
it's starting to get into the relationship
because i cant sleep with her at night
sometimes because it's just to darn hot
because i can feel alot of heat coming
from her body.
also when she hugs me or so i can smell
something odd on her. it soirt of smells
like firewood or something but on her
skin. i dont understand why/what the smell
is.
she went to the doc because she sweats at
night and they gave her a medicine to put
under her arms or something when she goes
to bed.
what could this problem be? i posted it
here because i dont know what kind of
topic it would go under.

The hypothalamus, a structure at the base
of the brain, is responsible for
regulating internal temperature. Perhaps
she should see a neurologist. You should
maybe go with her and report what you have
observed. An MRI would reveal any anomaly
with the hypothalamus.
