Yesterday here in Colorado it was 100 degrees. The humidity was right up there with it, I believe. When I went for a walk everyone was talking about the heat and humidity.

I know I was sweating though ten times more then any of them. Sweat just ran off of my back all day long. I tried to redo some things in my house and had to give it up. Even with it being cool in here I was still sweating and worse outside.

I asked my Dr. about the Clonidene and he says he'd rather not due to the side effects. He says it causes all of the problems I already have so he's afraid it will make them worse.

Is there another med out there that will do the same without all of the side effects?

This new Immunologist is trying to check out my immune system. Explain this too me, is it the immune system that adds to us getting the RSD and Fibro or the Autoimmune or both? I'm anxious to find out what he comes up with. I am off this morning to have my blood work done and a chest xray. My Dr. is also lining up my sleep study also. Finally this Dr. maybe able to help figure out what I am dealing with. My PCP and I both believe that I have not been diagnosed completely.

Back to the heat. I know a lot of you are seeing a lot of the sweating. Does it get to you as bad as it gets to me. I sleep with a fan on at night but I have to keep a cover over me so the air won't get the RSD acting up.

I cannot find anything to help me. I do walk around here with a wet washcloth on my neck to try and help.

Do you have any good solutions besides the Clonedine? Do you ever get past the sweating with the RSD. I notice some symptoms calm down but the sweating doesn't. Even in the wintertime I have to sleep with a fan.

Thanks for the help.
