“Thermostat”of a Polio Survivor
Original Post: We know that our thermostats are "nuts" - and so often we are unreasonably cold. What about constantly being really hot?
Dr. Bruno’s Response: There is no question that polio messed with the thermostat. But any changes in your ability to tolerate temperature, like having hot flashes in men and women, should be checked out with your local doctor.
For more information about the effects of the poliovirus on body temperature, please look in the Index of the Encyclopedia of Polio and PPS under the topic: Temperature.
