Sweating my @#$$ off

5 Replies

I'm oma and have been dx since 2001. One of my main symptoms is sweating from my forehead. I can't get botox because they don't do it for medical reasons. Even in the winter I can have sweat drip onto my shirt. Anyone else with this and any ideas on how to decrease this? No I'm not going to put deodorant on my forehead. Thanks

@Omams, has your doctor checked for possible nerve damage?

I haven't been sweating at all for many years, probably because MS has turned off something somewhere inside, although if I have a fever or infection I'll break out in a cold sweat. That's the only time I sweat. Except for the right side of my face, which sweats every time I eat. But I know why it's happening, and there's nothing that can be done about it. I had a parotid gland removed 30 years ago (!) and they told me at the time that I "might experience gustatory sweating"--meaning that every time I ate, part of me would sweat. It's an annoyance but since I know why it's happening, that's all it is. Maybe you've had nerve damage of some kind too--if not from surgery, maybe from an injury? It's just a thought but you might want to ask your doctor.

Not what you're looking for?

I’ve started sweating again 😅

I think it’s a good thing and it means my autonomic nervous system is starting to work again....
