Probably not, but I'm not a doctor. I would recommend that you call your rheumatologist and ask them. Remember that your doctor gets paid to help you, so don't be afraid to call when you have questions.

I looked into this a bit more and one of the list of common side effect was sweating, so that's probably it. Still, when you have a chronic illness, it's a good idea to check with your doctor when you have new and interesting/weird symptoms - over time, you'll find out what you can ignore, but new and weird? Give them a call.
