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.
