Members with Parkinson's connected over the struggle of temperature sensitivity, with many sharing that they feel constantly cold even when indoor temperatures are set in the mid-70s, while others described overheating easily in warm weather. Several members shared practical strategies like using electric blankets, heating pads, space heaters, and layering fleece jackets indoors to stay comfortable alongside family members with different comfort needs. A recurring theme was that Parkinson's disrupts the body's ability to regulate temperature due to changes in dopamine, and many found comfort in knowing they were not alone in this experience.
