Is there anything wrong with you?

Let me explain. Most of us have something with which we deal. Even if you make it to old age, by the virtue of making it to old age, you’re going to have arthritis, even if it is mild.
I’m wondering about things undiagnosed. I have a host of medical problems, but no one has ever been able to tell me why I’m always hot. No, this isn’t menopause; I’ve been this way since childhood. I’ve met people hot natured, but I’m generally ridiculous. With so many other health problems, doctors never really concentrated on finding out why I feel hot. I think if they looked hard enough, maybe they’d find out the problem. I’m just not going to bother anyone about it.
Do you think you have anything wrong with you that hasn’t been diagnosed?

There’s erythromelalgia, which is the opposite of Raynaud’s (I have Raynaud’s — cold all the time), but I don’t know. I’m at the age that, if the limbs stay attached, I’m just shrugging it off.

Ooh, I’ve never heard of that! There is always an opposite of everything, isn’t there? Last time I tried to shrug, I got a crick in the neck. So I won’t be doing that again anytime soon.
How’s the hand?

@Orson_Kart — thank you, it’s doing pretty well. Still incredibly stiff after not moving for a month.
The tales of old age is summed up in that meme on Facebook that says, “Injuries as a kid: bike wreck, fell out of a tree. Injuries as an adult: slept wrong, stood up too fast.”

Just hope that your ears don't fall off! Then you couldn't hear the Louvin Brothers again.

Always being hot since childhood and nobody ever digging into it is so frustrating... i would keep asking someone about it tbh, jk i know you said no. Yeah i think my sleep is off in some way, never got it checked and my ears still ring at night, lowkey a mystery.

What’s wrong with me?
It would be quicker to tell you what’s right with me.
I’m still the right side of 70
I’ve still got all my arms and legs and I can manage to go for a decent walk. Swinging my arms if I fancy.
I still enjoy my food, just eat less now
I “think” I’m still ‘compos mentis’, but how do I know? 
The rest of me is slowly dropping to bits.

The odds are likely at my age.

That would be frustrating, I am sure. Sorry that doctors never really have focused on figuring out why.
Mental issues for sure here.... but also my old back pain and why my legs would feel heavy, tired and painful. I never brought it up though

I tend to be hot as well. So did my dad, until he got dementia, and so did my brother until his other health problems caught up. I have heard it can be associated with thyroid, but I am fine there, and also with diabetes. It can be beyond annoying.

I don't think anything major thank God, but one never knows for sure.

Same.I always take a bath everyday and sometimes go to bath again in the afternoon because it's also hot here in my country.
