It seems to be a bit better these days but occasionally my body temperature would drop when working out

Mmmm i wonder if its the autonomic system that is dysfunctioning and instead of allowing your body to heat up your brain is trying to make sense of the mis-communication so instead makes you go cold so you dont overheat dlevy?

I think il take a look into this dlevy and DJ.

Oh thats interesting dlevy

I would still think it may have something to do with the sympathetic autonomic system because it sounds like its a dysfunction.

Is it an all over cold feeling? and what is the difference with this and your regular exercise? Is it stimulation different muscle groups?

It's an all over cold feeling. The exercise on the FES bike is almost identical to the exercise on the NuStep.

I see, it looks like you get cold when you workout your lower body. I think I'm the same!
