OMGOSH yes. Before Fibromyalgia I never sweat, even during the 98 degree days of summer. Niw I can function without sweating, any physical movement what so ever sweat goes to running. Now that it is Summer if the temperature is over 85 this chick doesn't go outside. The heat simply drains what little energy completely. My family just doesn't seem to understand how going out in the heat affects me physically, especially my husband.
Yes I sweat a lot of the time and hate it!! It is so embarrassing when your hair is soakend wet and everyone else is frozen. Another embarrassment we have to put up with!
I don't think it has to do with medication. But I do think medication that causing sweating can make it worse or more often. All the meds for fibro I have seen that have a side effect of sweating, just simply say sweating.
But if you look at the site below with a very detailed list of possible fibro symptoms, under general at the top is 'extreme sweating' that is the only place I have ever seen the word extreme with it. And mine is extreme and often not associated with heat. I think a lot of times mine is associated with sensory overload because when it is at it's worst I am usually in a store where I have fluorescent lights, perfumes, colognes, lotions and noises all affecting me at once. I also have a tendency to sweat after a shower, but I am very fatigued at that time. I also have very bad night sweats sometimes. My shopping sweats are the worst though. By the time I leave my head is usually soaked and my hair is dripping and my face is red and I feel like everyone is watching me.
Most of the time I carry a cold wet washcloth in a ziplock bag in my purse when I am shopping. I will also have a dry one as well.

I sweat ita horrible I just wish for my old life back
Yes! @A MyFibroTeam Member, I have the same thing! If I'm in a store too long I get hot and red and sweaty. I feel like everybody thinks I'm trying to steal stuff, I'm sweating so much. This is why I wear make up, I can't stand being tomato red, sweating my face off. It's so beyond embarrassing. I think sensory overload is a possibility for me, I've never thought of it that way! Thanks for the insight!
