Stopped sweating

Primary progressive MS
1

Hi Guys

I use to sweat quite a bit, i.e. after a bath etc. I’ve stopped sweating, what could that mean?

(I’ve read about nerve damage to the sweat glands)

Any answers would be much appreciated.

Hi, I don’t sweat much either…but quite sedentary now. Dunno if MS affects sweat glands…but why not? It affects loads of other bits, eh? Bouds xxx

Hi Boudica405

Thanks for your response. I saw the Consultant today, he was ‘indifferent’ about it.

It’s kind of annoying, when I sweated, I wished I didn’t sweat that much; now I’m like

I want my sweat back.

Just another MS symptom I am afraid.

I used to sweat that much my wife could see it forming on my semi bald head! I could feel it coming out of my skin and the heat building in my body would even steam up my glasses!!!

These sweaty episodes have for some reason become less frequent, not entirely gone. It is definitely part of this sole destroying desease we have to put up with but I understand and sympathize with all of you experiencing it.

I am now starting to get very bad head aches with pains behind my eyes, thankfully my optician has ruled out optic neuritis! Dizziness also turned up at the same time! This PPMS certainly keeps on giving lol!

Seeing the MS Nurse on Friday so hopefully she can help in some way. Take care all of you fellow sufferer’s.
