Everyone, thank you for sharing about your experiences. My name is Sarah and I live in Chicago and I'm 27.
As for my original post: I suspected the sweating was caused by the RSD but I was not sure. Now that I know this is a problem relating to the RSD I will take everyone advice and try to mangae this issue. I have had the night sweating issue for at least the past year but this day time sweating is the pitts. Not to mention it always happens at the worse time (large family dinners, working e.g). I also have a problem with sweating when I get ready in the morning. I recently changed makeup foundations and now I use the Super Stay Makeup foundation by Mabelline. It stays on even when I have my sweating episodes.
I have to say that this really sucks that the sweating is caused by the RSD as that means it is just one more thing i have to manage and one more thing that makes me feel self conscious. I'm sorry if I'm being negative but these last few weeks I have been really difficult. I guess I'm just tired of fighting this weird disease and the Holidays just seem to remind me that yet another year has gone by and during the past year all my symptoms of this disease just seem to be getting worse. Sorry, now I'm rambling and really I dont want to add any negativity to everyone elses day. In fact that is why I have not been particpating in the group lately because I just know I'm in a bad place. I hope everyone has a good Holiday.
Sarah
