Members confirmed that temperature dysregulation and excessive sweating, particularly from the head, are common experiences with fibromyalgia, though many noted these symptoms could also stem from other conditions or medications. Several members described drenching head sweats triggered by minimal activity, humidity, or even moderate temperatures, with some finding relief by wearing 100% cotton clothing and using bandanas. A recurring theme was the frustration and embarrassment of unpredictable sweating, the mystery of feeling internally hot despite normal body temperature, and the challenge of distinguishing fibromyalgia symptoms from menopause or other health factors.

I am hot most of the time. I sleep with the window open year round. If I feel cold one minute, the next I'm sweating. I thought it was post menopause. I'm 63 and I thought I would be over being hot. When it's going to rain my pain increases.

Yeah...especially when it gets warm...I wear hats but use bandanas to help with the sweating. My head sweats year round, but even throughout the day I have hot flares. I am past menopause, but only my head sweats ,not so much my body.I wear mainly cotton but still sweat with any activity.

I also have the same issue. Cold weather causes a lot of pain for me, and really humid days causes me to become cold.

Unfortunately it seems to be. I get out of the shower and dry my hair and within minutes it gets soaked again. If I rush around or just do anything for a few minutes, my hair gets soaked. Its so frustrating. Its embarrassing in public. I wish I had a way to stop it but I sont. It only seems to be my head sweating which is weird. Good luck. Let me know if you figure a way to stop it. Lol.
