Does anyone else have trouble regulating ... - Cure Parkinson's
Does anyone else have trouble regulating their body temperature? I was told that Parkinson's sometimes attacks our Autonomic System.
Not as bad as when I went through menopause!
LOL!!! 
I know what you mean! I had an early onset Menopause due to a hysterectomy and that was really bad. But this is different....I used to not sweat very much, but it seems now I sweat with evey little movement cause my body temperature rises. Do you know any rememdies?
Jerri, My husband does this also. Haven't found an answer yet, but still searching. If I find something I will definitely share. His gets so intense he gets a cold cloth for his face and head. Take care, Ludie
If we go somewhere in the summer, I keep a cold cloth in a cooler with an ice pack so I can cool my face and neck. This is really not very becoming for anyone....but I deal with it.
Yes, I have also found this a problem. Sometimes I am very hot and sweating and other times cold.
Even a little exertion and my faces breaks out in sweat and I look like a lobster.
Not very attractive and sometimes embarrassing. Have not found an answer yet, but am sure someone will be able to help. One of the reasons I love this site.
Me 2 i find after my sinment i break out in a hot sweat then at night i freeze but cannot turn my air off, if i can get out of bed i warm a wheat pack or shiver until i can get out of bed..
If i turn the air off i cannot breath.
I hate nights get frightened because my meds seem to ground me still dont no what i'm meant to be doing with meds.
I break out in a sweat if I have forgotten my meds by 15 mins.. Also if under stress.
Can soak a shirt in 3mins flat
I just grin and bear it until I can change.
No I have problem with water. Legs swell then meds kick in and I have to run to the bathroom. Even pre-PD did not sweat much. It was a problem when jogging in the summer!
When I do strenuous work, like in my yard, during summer I sweat like a pig. Never had this problem before PD. I asked my neurologist, who said this is a normal problem for PWP. Sorry, no meds, no cure; just have to learn to live with it.
Hubby tends to be cold especially his feet and hands. They are a bit better since he started taking B Complex vitamins though. He is always wearing a sweater or jacket because he feels chilled.
Before my hubby was diagnosed with PD a friend noticed (in the middle of summer) that his feet looked blue with cold - they are mostly cold and we didn't realise the cause. Put it down to bad circulation as he has heart failure. Amazing the symptoms we blamed on heart trouble! Suffering Socks
Me too. My hands and feet get very very cold
I he been sweating profusely over the past 3 or 4 months. It is mostly my head and face,. I was told it had to do with my autonomic system, I gues it is a
Part of Parkinsons. I did try Drysol. It worked for a while, but you must keep applying it,
