Where is your rsd is that why you sweat or is it the meds. I took a lot that made me almost have hot flashes! If it is the meds it might be time for a change, if it is the rsd I don't have many suggestions except to wear light weight clothes and maybe carry one of those hand held fans to sneak of to the bathroom and dry out a bit. I had to get up 3 times during a breakfast with my brother once because my meds made me sweat and go use cool water and dry off. Hope you do better soon!
positive thoughts your way!

I'm a fan of using a handheld fan. I'm too far beyond to get embarassed by what I need to do. So I carry a small fan my sister brought me back from China in my pocketbook and take it out when the flushes start at work; also bring a small lightweight down comforter to meetings and wrap my leg to keep it warm otherwise keep it in my office for my leg. I think if you can keep your head cool, the flushes don't seem to get out of control. I'm just put out because I stopped having hot flashes long before my accident, but then they came back with a vengence. Natural fabrics like cotton dry quicker and don't hold in the heat like synthetics. You've go my empathy and sorry I don't have a miracle cure.

I'm trying to Take Notice, of what Starts a Cold Sweat or, flash, or just a sweat?

I noticed yesterday, a friend came over, and in less than 5 minutes, I broke into a sweat.
Did I get a little jolt of adrenaline? (Maybe, just happy to see a friend?)

Spring time in the "Mud Atlantic" is atrocious.
Rain, Rain, Clouds... HUMIDITY!
The sun came out for a few moments these past couple days.

My A/C is running, with a ceiling fan.. too much draft. I can't keep them low enough.

As the profession I was in, I expanded the house I bought, and put in a new Central air system, just slightly "undersized", what that means, is that it "works hard" (but costs less), and works more on dehumidification, than just "blowing ice cold air".
Also, all of the vents are placed "strategically", so that no 'draft' will hit me, where I sit, or sleep (if I sleep)... Hah!

Then, a nice whirlpool bath.
I used to heat myself up in the AM, (wintertime), and cool down slowly. That was before I had this sweat issue. And, I never had it really until my second accident, which caused my TBI. But, I guess it really "ramped up" my rsd, too.
Sorry for rambling on....

My pain reminds me, I"m alive...
