The past few months I sweat on my face and neck. It just pours off me and I have to carry a wash cloth around. I am menopausal but I think this might be something else? Anybody else deal with this?

Sweating
I'm not menopausal. At least I don't think so at 41. But I've been sweating loads at night. Noticed my feet sweating a lot through day too. Sweating at night interrupting my sleep.
No idea why and no idea how to deal with it. Sorry not much use here :/
Hi JeninCali,
I too had the same problem, for the last 10 years I believed I was menopausal, I am 50 now, so early onset, but I too believe perhaps this now was not the case. Too bad it took so long to realise this, I also wondered why no HRT worked for me 😁
Hi JenInCali ,
Sweating is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. SLE can affect the autonomic nerves, but usually not significantly in the vast majority of people. If these nerves are affected it can lead to constipation, dizziness when standing up and excessive sweating, among other difficulties. These problems can also be seen due to various medications as well as other medical problems, which makes a proper diagnosis challenging. If a problem is found to be due to SLE, the person is treated with steroids.
Thank you...I have the other symptoms as well
