Has anyone been experiencing severe sweating?
I experiencing this a few years ago but did not have any idea it could be to do with RA. Apart from the obvious things to do to keep cool, does anyone have any advice as I am struggling.
Thanks Guys

Hi ya either having a fan wearing cotton clothes I try to live with it itβs horrible been like it now for about 2 yrs my consultant cut my methotrexate down but it made no difference good luck
Are you on predisolone (steroids?). If so, one of the side effects is profuse sweating
I constantly get the sweats from my shoulders upwards. I have been told it could be my fibro causing the trouble. xxx
my rheumatology team mentioned fibro to me but heard nothing since. interesting, might have to look into that further. thanks π
I too get sweats when fibromyalgia plays up. Dry hot heat for RA
Hi BagpussStrange you should mention this. Iβve really struggled with it this year for the first time. I donβt have a solution but I can definitely sympathise. Itβs really dreadful.
As Soundofmusicsays
Good luck with finding a solution. Keep posting. I will too.
Hi. Yes from shoulders upwards - i can ring out my hair & it hurts the eyes plus wet neck.. im not on steroids. Its even worse now with a mask! I dont suffer with fibro but have severe RA. I m on tocalizimub.. like you say its embarrasing & seems no one knows why. At the moment im waiting for dermatology @ hospital to phone me who are going to make up some sort of lotion to see if it will help ( GPs not authorised to prescribe). Will be interesting if any one has found out why we get it & if anything helps...
I've been sweating lots too for about a month. Never had it before. I was on a 6 week course of steroids back in June so finished those now. At 51 years old my first thought was menopause but women's health nurse at local surgery thinks unlikely. I dunno what it is.
I also sweat a lot. So much so that it drips from the top of my head all down my face and neck. It is very uncomfortable and also embarrassing. At home I often walk about with a small towel around my neck so that I can keep mopping myself up. I was on Mtx but have been off it for over six months now. I am on prednisolone but only on 5mg daily so a very low dose. I mentioned it to a rheumatologist some time ago but she didn't seem to take much notice. I would really like to know what causes it.
Hi,
I think something has to be done about it, it's just not natural. I'll keep gigging to see what causes it and share anything I find out. π
Thank you for asking this question as I to have been sweating and its so embarrassing, if I do any cleaning etc I feel like I need to go for a 2nd shower π± and now have a fan on when drying my hair , thanks I feel so much better knowing I,m not alone π
Well hey there Bagpuss2021 I am the same everyday thought that it was the peri-menopause as I'm 49 take care π
Me too , I drape a cold wet ( but not too wet ) towel round my neck and found can use the ends to mop face as and when
So glad to hear lots of you have the sweats. Iβm on benepali and mtx. Itβs been really horrid, just doing the slightest things and Iβm wet
Hi,Just out of interest, do you find benepali painful to inject? I found d it really painful and have been switched. Have found that I am reacting to medication in the pen.
Hi. It does sting a bit. I intend to put it in my thighs alternating each week. If I keep it out of fridge for a couple of hours itβs not too bad π
I get very hot at times, always got an Evian face spray in my bag and in Savers they do a really good cooling body and face cooling mist called Aqua Sensπits my life saver! π
Yes, I sweat really easily. I am long past the menopause, but it does feel similar to hot flushes. Sweat runs down my back, it's awful, and it can happen anytime, not necessarily when I have been doing a lot.I would love to know the reason, nobody ever seems to take it seriously!
