This does sound like you may have experienced an attack on the autonomic system, which made up of mostly small fibers. People with such attacks can experience problems with their sweating, blood pressure, heart rate, digestive/eliminative motility--indeed, any autonomic function.
Take a look at some of the info on dysautonomia, and see if it rings a bell:

Thanks, Glen, for this information. I have been diagnosed with small fiber polyneuropathy. I have what I would consider a normal amount of sweat in my arm pits and other areas of the body but sweat quite a lot in my face. The left side of my face is also affected by the neuropathy and the information you provided give some possible explainations.
