SJS and moisture producing glands ---- What about sweat glands?

[irish]

I have been sweating a lot since I was in my 20's. I was having a lot of symptoms then but had no clue that the sweating was involved. When I was on salogen I could only take the 5 mgm as I sweat so darn much that I felt like I would pass out.

I still sweat a lot at age 69 and will have to change clothes as my underwear and bra plus clothes will be soaked--usually when I do something like vaccum. In the past 10 years or so I have started sweating on my head so bad that the sweat will run into my eyes and burn them if I don't wipe off often enough.

I haven't taken the salogen for years but my mestinon for my myasthenia gravis has some of the same side effects as salogen. However, the sweating isn't quite as bad. Summers are just terrible for those of us who sweat. Also, summers are very dangerous for those of you who don't sweat. Pleast be careful and keep cool.

Say,  I have a solution for this. Just remembered that years ago Ann Landers had several women write in about doing housework in the nude. One gal was in the basement nude, with her son's football helmet on because the pipes were dripping condensation and she didn't want to ruin her hair. The meter reader came in through the basement door and caught her. Nawwww, don't think I will do housework in the nude. Might give someone a heart attack.lol

The meter man told the lady "I hope your team wins ma'am".

Hi, I haven't sweated in years even when I work in the yard (in Florida) or exersize. I do have the difficulty regulating my body temp. One minute I'm cold and the next I'm hot.  At least I'm not alone. I also deal with severe dryness and itching in my privates. I've tried everything and nothing helps. any suggestions?

It's funny I never thought about this side of things before.  I used to sweat a lot and still do although probably not quite so much since Sjogrens.
