Confused Sweating buckets!

I know sweating is part of the deal. But for the last month is almost continual!! I was never one to sweat, even during my sports days. But now, it runs down my back and on my face....(not real attractive!) Does anyone know how I can deal with this? I thought maybe the meds, but I am down to only taking carbamazepine (for epilepsy) , lyrica, and zopiclone (for sleeping). It's driving me nutz!!
I have tried cold drinks, cool baths, but it just comes back with a vengance. My doc is "un-knowing" about Rsd, is there a med for sweating?
Thanks for any help....
Hippy

Default

There are several medicines for excessive sweating...Robinul and Robinul-forte, and Clonodine. I have never used these products, I just found this info out by googling it, lol.

The data was meant for Neuropathy patients, so I think we can "assume" it would work for us as well.

But I've always been told that it can be extremely dangerous to stop yourself from sweating... you need to sweat to regulate your body temp. I have the same issues you do, both from the rsd and from aids. I just change shirts a LOT more often than I used to.

Default I'm with you on the sweating.

I never sweated before RSD and now I can take a bath in my own sweat. My nights are horrible. I've delt with it now for about 5 years and I didn't know there was anything out there to help. I am going to ask my Dr. about one of them. Mine hasn't let up in the whole 5 years.

Tongue Thanks for the input!

"TheOne", Jenny, Ada
Thank you so much! It's bad enough that sleep has been taken away, and to fight the pain....but, sweating too??
I am in a flare at the moment, so I am just feeling a little bit PO'd at it all. There's nothing worse than an angry, sweaty, hurty Hippy...sheesh. But thanks to you all, I will seek help and let the "un-knowing" know what might help to stop it.
Hippy

Frown It is a terrible feeling & I don't miss it

Until I started on CLONIDINE, I was sweating day and night. My sheets and clothes were always so wet I'd get chills.
I don't know how it works but it sure helps a lot. Before the clonidine I used Xanax to calm the SNS and it helped for a little while but they always returned. I hope you find something that helps you.
Hope
