Sweating Spells

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Scottsville, NY

I've been having intense bouts of sweating for about 4 months. Drinking coffee is the only trigger I can pinpoint. I get the sweats in cold or hot weather, mostly during the day. I've been in menopause for 8 yrs and really didn't get bad hot flashes then.
Can this be related to fibro? I've only recently been diagnosed w fibro, have had RSD /CRPS for 10 yrs.
Thanks for your help!!

I get these I'm only 30. From my understanding it's because some of us with fibro can't regulate temperature right. I will sit there n sweat buckets while my boyfriend is freezing. It sucks

I too suffer from excessive sweating and I'm fed up with it!! If I do ANYTHING physical I sweat so bad it's embarrassing!! But I also get it sometimes just sitting here but not as often. I go for a walk everyday and sometimes, now that it's fall, I won't start sweating terribly til I get home. I now babysit my grandson and he keeps me busy so I am constantly soaking wet!! My hair is drenched, my clothes and of course it just pours down my face! I too will sometimes carry a towel as it's just too much! I am so embarrassed as it happens even if I just grocery shop so I'm finding I go out less and less in public cause I can't stand it. I am totally fed up with feeling sweaty and clammy so I intend to go to my doctor about it but I doubt there's much he can do. I have found it's gotten worse since I went on amitriptylene but that helps me sleep so I don't want to give that up!! Here's hoping for all of us although I don't think it's gonna help!!!

I sweat a lot, too and have to keep a towel by me. The only thing I have pinpointed for sure is when I eat I sweat. I'm in menopause, also.

I do. Have for awhile now. But my skin will be freezing while im burning up.... Which is bad for me cuz im allergic to the cold and get massive welts... My effexor makes the 'hot 'flashes'' worse. And they're not flashes.... They last for hours! Ugh! Best of luck.
