Hope to find help or undesrtanding.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a while ago, had try everything new to get at it to only fail and have some bad reactions from the new meds on the market.
I am at my wits end, I perspire so badly( sorry, women glows, not me I sweat), that none of the usual treatments can help me. I have generalized perspiration, starting at the top of my head going down my torso and my legs. Bad enough to make it impossible to put jeans on because of the wetness. I am fine with underarm, feet and hands, those are okay. I had all the tests done for glandular problems, thyroid is okay with meds, I must be the only hypo sweating. Adrenals are fine...I am over 65 and should be done with menopause, was taking hormonal supp for years and still on a very low dosage about .365 very 3 days trying to cut it completely but can't. I have been sweating that way for over 8 years , having spells of drippings 3-4 times a day, summer is a bummer. cant even think it makes me sweat and this summer is not hot yet. I do have nights sweat too. Strangely enough I don't sweat when I am in public or when I nervous it is only when I moved and sometimes think. Crazy....??
I had to stop walking because I get so wet and my face burns for days, in winter I freeze. When I start to walk or exercise and get in that state ( everytimes ) my muscles get crampy and sore I have to stop. The result of that is putting pounds on me, I am getting fat, I need to move to keep my metabolism working.
Can't get ahead of myself that way. It makes my life miserable. It's not enough having all that pain I have to sweat like a old horse forced to run.

Are there other fibromites with that problem and if so what do you do to live with it without becoming crazy.

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.
