WOW! So we are not alone.....I agree with you on everything you said..
It does not take exertion and the room temp changes are TERRIBLE.
I also get sweaty when I come inside from being outside. It takes me
awhile to cool down and by then I am a sweaty wreck!! It is a waste of
time to put my make up on in the morning because it gets all smeared : (
It is so upsetting. I get very humiliated and frustrated with it! I too
have had low grade fevers on and off for months. Today I had 100.3 and
felt miserable so I missed another day of work..
I wonder, too..if this is endo related?????? Anyone else suffer with
this??
Is there a pattern with sweating and pain? Could it be inflammation?
Maybe if someone is a nurse or Dr who reads this can give us some
insight??
I know it is not my thyroid, as I have been checked..and even when I
dont have a fever I am sweaty and hot..I am not in menopause and it is
not a hot flash...
If endometriosis pain wasnt enough to deal with....and all the other
symptoms..
this makes it that much WORSE!!!!
HELP!
Thanks
