i'm 17 weeks and feeling the worst of symptoms...
my skin feels hot esp after sleeping, it's like burning sensation but my temp is 36.6-36.8C. i'd wake up a few times at night thinking i am burning. when i turn on the fan or air con, i get chilly and cold and have to turn it off immediately. every morning when i wake up, the 1st impression is 'i'm having a fever', but my temp is always ok.
in the daytime, i also feel hot and cold at the same time. sometimes my skin feels ok but palms hot, sometimes skin just gets hot as and when. it's a neverending story.
on top of the burning sensation, i also have eczema on my legs, and itchy skin all over (hands, back, sides etc). the itch becomes severe when my skin gets hot. i tried to apply moisturiser but it only relieves for a while. i'm trying my best not to scratch, only soothe the skin whenever itchy.
my gynae told me it's normal and just bear with it, my skin specialist gave me steriods to apply but i don't want in case it harms my baby, my tcm says it's normal to feel heated and cold at the same time and gave me some herbs but i didn't take for fear that it affects my baby....
it's been ongoing for 3 weeks and i'm feeling really depressed. everyday i just stare into blank air and wonder when will all this go away... wondering if anyone has similar experiences to share?
