Mostly, I have never sweated as much as other people in any given situation where you would expect sweating, but I had a run of cold night sweats in my 30's well before menopause was even on the horizon. That's about when my eyes were getting dry but long before I realized that my eye symptoms were in fact symptoms of something and that something was causing dryness, which was causing the stinging, burning and foreign body sensations.<br /><br />Now, I definitely sweat with actual hot flashes whenever they come, day or night. Unlike many who responded, I still sweat under the arms, but chemically something has changed, because the sweat is much more, shall we say, odiferous than it used to be. I have tried everything to get the stench out of my workout clothes and have finally settled on Febreeze Sport Spray on the clothes before washing. <br /><br />I don't have those cold sweats at night anymore, thank goodness. It's a horrible feeling and would be even worse in the daytime when you are out and about and there is really nothing to be done about it.

Not ur if its related to the SS or not.

However I have not noted one dr spending time asking abt it during my visits. What's up with that? Very odd. Makes me think they dunno what to do abt it. I have nite sweats and when they hit they are horrid. I am not sure why u have them some nights and not others.

I did a 100km race under a heat advisory two years ago- and didn't need to wear deodorant. I thought it odd but not something one would complain of to a healthcare provider.My sweat glands are notably silent.cargillwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948839908080737239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-86154708032605763222013-03-20T16:34:44.184-07:002013-03-20T16:34:44.184-07:00Another interesting topic of conversation, Julia. ...Another interesting topic of conversation, Julia. I generally don't perspire, or not much anymore, and my body temperature is usually low. Yesterday I checked it at one point because I was very cold and jittery and it was at 96.5. The times I do perspire,my face and head usually sweat, and many times I notice that when I perspire it's usually due to the fact that I am overtaxing myself when I should be resting. Fatigue plays a big factor, and the body's difficulty in regulating body temeprature is the other reason for me.annienoreply@blogger.com
