Does anyone suffer with excessive sweating? I seem to sweat profusely when I'm in the "on" state. Any kind of physical activity gets it going, and it won't stop. Is this a PD symptom or an L-dopa side effect?
Any tips to alleviate this. I'm contemplating acupuncture, but not sure how effective it would be. |

Hi there Blue!
Do you sweat even iin cold conditions? You are sure your sweating is related to med intake? We PArkies usually have a narrow "operating" temperature. You may need to modify your environment to help with this. I have not heard of accupuncture for this condition, but what the heck! Give it a try, you can let us know if it works or not. Charlie |

Yes, I sweat dreadfully when suffering dyskinesia. What is called a "drenching sweat". My shirt is soaked, you can almost wring it out. If I remove sweaters etc before I get too hot, it is moderated a little.
But believe me, you are not alone. Does not happen when I'm off. Ron

I sweat terribly - it just won't stop. I'm soaked down to my underclothes and have found that taking a cool shower helps. My neuro shows no interest in the matter.

Hey there Chasmo,
I think it is connected with the dyskinesia, just like Ron, because I don't sweat when I'm off. I sweat in cold temperatures as well. |
