It was after the tbi that this odd sweating started, on my head.
I had the rsd perspiration before, on my hands, feet, if I took off my socks...
I know also, just by the "side effects" that my testosterone is low, I used to use a supplement, it just didn't seem so important after a time.
So, I do have a perscription for some serious blood work, which, may lead to more.
I'll show my doctor your suggestions!
I usually take a luke warm bath, then follow with a cool shower.
I often take some pain meds, (methadone) before I shower. I'm going to start watching what triggers it. It just seems that my pores won't close on my scalp.
So, I'm done with a blow dryer.
And, I usually drink something cold, and even sit in front of the A/C, in an attempt to close my pores.
Thanks for all your great suggestions.
I'd appreciate any more, and let ya'll know how this works out...
love to all,
pete

Hi Pete,
I also have excess sweating that is annoying. I use fans, ceiling and floor fans in addition to our air condition. We live in Arizona, so the summers are pretty miserable.
I've read on one of the rsd web sites about sweating. Actually it is the rsdrx.com site and then under that site look at puzzles, which are questions written in to Dr. Hooshmand, now retired, and his answers. There are 3 main manifestations of rsd-1) control of temperature, 2) vital signs, 3)modulation of immune system.
As for a solution, I don't know, but will write down the question for my Dr. on next visit and will post if I find any answers.
I also take a cool shower, anything warm is not good. It's still over a 100 here in the desert. Should be bearable temp. in a couple of weeks. Take care, your friend, loretta
