Q: anyone else with MS have excessive sweating?

Dx. with MS in 2004. This past spring I started sweating and cont. to increase over the summer. Drops of sweat just roll down my face & off my chin. My chest gets soaked, and my upper arms leave a wet area when placed on a table or a chair. Any treatment besides a surgery I read about. I also read a herbal pill called Pherical might help.

I began sweating profusely after my MS.I sweat even in an air conditioned room.I did not do anything for this. The sweating has reduced with time to an extent, but not much.

I was diagnosed in 2000, age 50. First exacerbation at age 30 (3 weeks after son was born. I'm now 60 and I can't remember a day with soaking hair and body even in winter and doing nothing. First thought it was menapause - but it wasn't. Must be the ms. Go on the internet. There are cooling jackets. Expensive - but if you are crafty you could probably make one. BCK

2/6/11 I could have written the statement above. I am the same age, diagnosed in the same year and the sweat just pours off me, I mean to the point of my clothes having to be changed. I have the cooling vest but never thought of using it in the dead of winter. Guess I better get it out and anything else I rcvd from the MS Society. Silly me. I guess I am not alone. Thanks SS in Florida

Just a thought. When my kids were babies and had a fever in the middle of the night, I'd get up, give them Tylenol and a popsicle. Try the popsicle to cool down you core temp. Good luck. Barbara

I haven't been diagnosed completely with MS. Though I strongly feel I have it.

I read all the MS info. I can get and I have all 10 symptoms and more.

For years I've been 'plagued' with excessive sweating. I've been to doctors and no one takes it too serious. They tell me my hormones are messed up because I had excessive chemo years ago. I'm a breast cancer survivor.

I drip and drip all over my head, neck, chest and lower stomach areas.

I need two fans and the AC cranked as low as my husband will permit. And yet I still sweat.

If I'm active or inactive, I sweat.

My clothes are wet.

I hate it and it interfers with my social life. I carry water and a handkerchief with me all the time.

I am miserable part of everyday and night.

HELP.............I'M GOING TO SEE A NEUROLOGIST SOON.
