Hi I just read your story and am wondering if you have tried any meds for it. I take methadone for chronic pain and when I started on it the sweating was so bad coming from the head and then everywhere. My Pain Dr. gave me Robinul or the generic name is called Glycopyrrolate. Comes in 1 and 2 mgs. You have to build it up in the system and then back off or you will dry out too much. I think the medication is actually for ulcers or intestinal stuff but I have no side effects from it at all except it stops my sweats. I usually dont have to take it everyday now since its built up. Maybe you can ask your Dr. to let you try this and see if it works for your sweats providing it wont interferre with anything else your taking or medically wise. Just wanted to pass this on and hope it works for you...take care David

Thanks for reading and replying. I did try these meds but it was drying my inside not the sweat on the skin. It's why I am at my wits end.

Try using a migraine ice patch in various spots on your body. You can hide them under your clothes. That helps me a lot. Mine are still hot flashes, and I had a horrible June this year with them. The doc up'd my hormone dose for the summer only.

I have not officially been diagnosed with fibro yet, but my doc has said he suspects that's what I have.
