I have had such isssues with sweating whenever I do ANYTHING physical at all. It's become quite embarrassing. Thyroid checked & ok, could be hormonal but I can't take hormones due blood clot problems years ago & neuro said it could be related to the MS. Anyone else experience this?

I have the exact opposite problem as a few years ago I noticed I had stopped sweating entirely. Not a good thing - talk about night heat - I am a furnace into myself but I also must keep hydrated and watch my time outdoors and while exercising as my poor body can't cool itself down. Then I will have a bout where I go back to sweating for a few months and presto done with that. Gotta love this disease. It is like a surprise party each day!

I have temperature regulation problems frequently after physical exertion and after a bath. I will uncontrollably sweat for hours after a bath and I have to take frequent breaks from any physical activity. I know that mine is due to my MS as I didn't have this symptom until after my last attack.

I sweat as well. Thought it was hot flashes and meds clashing. It looks like I just ran a marathon.

I will continue to stand firm in claiming the the injections (at least Avonex) can cause severe hot flashes/bouts of sweating! When I took Avonex for 6 months, I had my doctors test me for menopause because I was certain I was there...he said I was too young at 38, but my mom had entered menopause by 40. Sure enough, the tests showed my hormone levels were fine. But the hot flashes were crazy miserable. However, in September, I was "un-diagnosed" (LOL) and two weeks off the injections, the hot flashes stopped. I just recently started Rebif, and guess what...? Hello night sweats! So, at least MY reaction to the meds are that of having hot flashes/sweating (just for starters). Yes, it does effect some of us this way! No, it may not necessarily be "MS" but the MS meds that are impacting us. OR maybe it is the nerves that have been damanged with others of us that control our temperature control...either way, it stinks.

I am hot ALL OF THE TIME! I never thought it might be MS related...was just thinking early menopause and living in Florida were the cause.
