Sweat—oddity

So about the time I was diagnosed 18 years ago my body stopped sweating. I’m really mean stopped completely. Obviously this has made dealing with MS and heat worse.

Strangely, this week I’ve started sweating again! It’s a weird feeling when it’s been so long, but boy, I notice the benefits. I’m not getting as red and cooling down faster.

Maybe this is an answer to my prayers. We have a Disneyworld trip this summer I was terrified of cooking in! Maybe now I’ll survive.

I sympathize with you!

I think that my internal thermostat is broken. Often, when I get to hot ☀️, I have to take a cool shower 🚿 to cool down, air conditioning and drinking something cold 🥤🚰 doesn’t work. When I get chilled, in the winter, I often have to take a warm shower 🚿. Nothing else seems to work.

I get really hot after a hot meal and being in the kitchen with the oven on, really tires me. Have you done any puzzles recently? I would love to have a trip to Disney with my grandchildren. Enjoy, blessings 🦋

Not jigsaw puzzles, but my son decided we need a family project so we are sorting and rebuilding 250 LEGO sets. Pretty much a puzzle!

MS can be associated with autonomic dysfunction which may include lack of sweating among many other symptoms. It's interesting that you have started sweating it again but MS is bizarre for sure 😝

I was diagnosed 26 1/2 years ago and can no longer sweat for decades myself! I’m numb like 95% of my body also so definitely strange combo.!
