Default Does CRPS cause severe total sweats with painful chills?

I suffer from severe total body sweats with painful chills. I can experience this for hours or days.
I am trying to find out if any CRPS info/doctors/websites explain this as a verified CRPS symptom, and if so, what can be done to relieve it.
As a side note.
I get this total body sweating anytime and regularly. But lately I have noticed that if I am not sweating, and then I eat something, it triggers the sweats that will then continue on (just like when I don't eat and they start on their own). Just to be clear. The sweats happen all the time, not from eating, but lately I have noticed eating triggers it also.
Any useful info would be greatly appreciated. I have had CRPS for over 10 years, but lately I sometimes feel like the sweats and chills are harder to handle than the truck loads of pain I have already endured and figured out how to manage. Thanks again. Good luck to all and God Bless You.

CRPS does impact the body's ability to regulate its temperature. The result can be sweating and/or chills.

That said, be sure to review your meds with your doctor to rule out any possible culprits, specifically Cymbalta or meds in that category. Cymbalta is a known cause of this.

If you have ruled out any med as a cause, you may have joined the ranks of those who add the suffering of sweating buckets on top of our pain.

RSD is so much fun!
