Title: Freezing but sweaty armpits?
Post by: LisaMarie on January 03, 2012, 08:27:45 AM
I know I did not forget my deodorant today.  But I'm at work (first time back since Dec. 23) and my hands and feet are freezing.  But my armpits feel extremely wet.  I don't recall feeling this before at the same time.  I mean, there are times I have had sweaty armpits but never while I'm so cold.

Yep.  Quite often.  And having dry mouth at the same time to boot.  Go figure... ::)

I think SJS plays havoc with are heating and cooling systems in our bodies.  Right now my body is at the right temperature but my hand and feet are freezing.  Go figure.

Yep, sounds 'right' to me.

Sorry.

It's like different parts of our body are in different time zones or something.

I have had this happen. It freaked me out cause I never ever perspired in my armpits before. Then out of the blue it started. And it was winter.. I read somewhere that Sjgrens can mess up our sweat glands.. Either way, it is a pain. Sorry you are going through this..

i tend to sweat excessively at any kind of exertion but if i am outside or in a cold room my hands will be blue and ice cold but yet my body and under arms with be sweaty and hot.

Weird, mentioned it to the rheumie but he didnt really seem bothered??

Are you taking salagen at all?  I find when I've taken a dose, I can get sweaty from the salagen, but shivery (because I'm sweating too much and losing body heat).
