Yes I do,

It is freezing cold outside but I keep finding myself sat in a vest top, with the heating off and the windows open with a cold flannel trying to cool myself down, its no fun at all.

I do sympathise

Yup, me as well, I tend tog o bright red and sweat too, I feel so sleepy. Its even worse if i have alcohol.

I went to see Paloma Faith in concert on Monday night and at one point I was so hot I thought I was going to pass out. I use the strongest deodorant I can tolerate and it does nothing, its awful ! I have all the windows open now and am wearing a summer t-shirt, my hands have swollen up too :( ........

I am not sure if its the tablets causing it.

I sympathise with anyone going through this !

Yes I do and have for some 25 years- first they said it was 'My AGE' Oh I hate that one, then the pills and now No idea. I sweat so much my hair looks as though I have been swimming and my clothes just stick to me like wet lettuce. Not a good look when you are out with friends. It is so unpleasant. The weird thing is I Never sweat under my Arms! I am quite often cooking with my apron on and pants - nothing else as it is to hot. I am just grateful that the back of my house can not be overlooked or I could frighten someone to death.

I now resort the putting Kitchen paper towels round my waist under my clothes and in my bras to try and soak the excess up and have a small hand towel for round my neck for when it just runs. I try to make a joke of it with strangers, but my friends know I am crying inside.

If anyone can recomend anything I will try it.

Good Luck. Hazel xx

ps. I even sweat when I am swimming !
