Fibromyalgia Symptoms HOME

I have this also and I think it is because my metabolism has become so slow from the fatigue that I do not get out and do a lot of things/indoors and outdoors, so I have only about a 5 degree difference between sweating and freezing. It could also be partly genetic and fluctuating blood pressure. My paralyzed friend has the same problem. Ask you Dr. for more info. Bonnie

I too sweat a lot, not during the night but if I move just a little bit not even exercising I sart a big attack of sweat. I have to stop everything lay donw and use Guided I magery to cool down. I imagine I am in winter walking in the snow with little chlothes on . It ususally take about 30 mins to get back to normal. In winter I am too warm and freeze at the same time, real hassel.MARIE

I too sweating at the drop of a dime.
At work, I sit in front of a big fan (summer & winter).
If I walk down the hall, I usually become warm quickly. Within 15 minutes I am sweating, usually through my shirt, on face, and forehead.
It's embrassing. Co-workers doing the same thing are fine.

I too suffer from extreme profuse sweating! It is very embarrassing and even in the winter I can be wearing a t=shirt and shorts and still sweat like a pig!

Hi -- I think fibro is actually Lyme diease, a bacterial infection, generally gotten from an infected tick bite. The sweating symptom, however, I believe is from a coinfection, possibly babesia. There are three main coinfections the ticks can carry: babesia, ehrlichia and bartonella. Go to www.lymenet.org/FlashDiscussion/MedicalQuestions and read up on Lyme and the coinfections. www.Igenex.com is a great testing lab. It's best to find a Lyme/coinfection treating doctor to work with. The folks at lymenet can help you do that. People generally need antibiotics to treat the infections, plus people also do a lot of other treatments too. You can also email me at sfrobink@aol.com if you want.

Well, I too am searching for more information on this too. I do think that pain meds now trigger the sweating, especially Darcocet. I had to d/c taking Darvocet because the sweats were constant.

My head sweats profusely, it's so embarrassing. Any slight activity at all makes my head sweat. Just a short walk in a fine weather day would trigger my facial hyperhidrosis. The hair on the back of my head, sideburns, and at the top of my forehead gets soaked in seconds and drips down the back of my neck, face and down my forehead. I am 29 and this seems to be getting worse and worse. it triggers also when i get nervous or when i feel dizzy or get motion sickness. I just feel like I am tired all the time and sweating is just making me tire a lot more. When i commute and seat straight for a not so long time i would feel my neck getting stiff, feel pinching pains at the back of my shoulders. my nose gets clogged all the time even if there's no booger or mucus on it. I have TMJ dysfunction and i don't know if fibromyalgia triggers my TMJD or if its the other way around.

Hi Diane, yes Fibro induces sudden changes in body temperature which can cause us to sweat abundantly and also cause us to have fevers. Just another never ending perk of Fibro :(
Sending all a gentle hug, Patty

I too have night sweat and sometimes during the day, but at the end of the day Im freezing. The night sweats usualy end quickly followed by cold feeling but I think its more an ache, like from a fever when you feel achy and cold, anyone know what I mean?? I dont take meds only ibu. or aleve or advil or occasional Mary Jane. In fact Im getting a hot flash now/ sweats, pins and needles in my left hand and feeling very warm, my neck sweats and between my breasts. I try to ignore and move my hair as Im at work and dont want ayone to notice. It is almost gone and Im starting to feel cold. I had removed my sweater, and will be putting it back on soon :(
