You sent that reply to me, joaj . I think it is just one of those symptoms you either have or you don't isn't it? Doesn't apply to everyone, but it 'can' be a symptom

Vivienneferreira,

It was more than a year after I was optimally medicated before I began to perspire lightly under my arms and at the nape of the neck when it is very hot.

Vivienneferreira,

I found the lack of sweating made it very difficult to cool down at times. Running cold water over my wrists and flashing a cold wet flannel over my face, neck, arms and torso without towelling dry helped me cool down.
