Carolyn,

Do you only have the one advanced tape? Or do you have a variety of

tapes? It could just be that you are so used to doing the same tape

that your body is getting used to it. Are you still working out with

the same intensity or do you feel like you're just going through the

motions? If you are still working out with intensity and feeling it,

then I wouldn't worry so much about the sweating. It could be lots of

different things that are affecting how much you sweat. Also, are you

making sure to drink lots of water throughout the day? I find that

when I drink more water....I really sweat during the workouts!

Annette's reply : , I stopped sweating about 5

years ago. I had been convinced by my GP to try a

course of antidepressants (amitrip). This was a

disaster and caused a number of severe and long

standing changes incl. the lack of sweat.

Then, just recently after a bout of Pneumonia I

started having morning sweats but still nothing at

other times.

Radha asked :

I wanted to know if any of you break out into cold

sweats when u get too cold.

Annette's reply :

Radha, I am so glad that you mentioned this. I have

just spent the last UK winter with vicious attacks of

sweat and weakness/giddiness in the morning when I try

any activity that gets my heart rate to increase

slightly. i.e. Brushing my hair, walking up stairs,

taking a bath (I faint in showers).

These attacks started after I had Pneumonia in October

last year and were particularly bad on cold Winter

mornings.

I have had ME for 18 years and have always been very

faint in the morning, however these sweat attacks are

a new thing. I am taking all the " normal " supplements

that I can tolerate and afford but there has been no

improvement.

Ideas for how this has occurred and what is happening

would be useful. My doctor is worse than useless.

Regards,

Annette

I had this problem for six months after getting over pneumonia, and

concluded that since I have no reserves (my SO calls it " running on

fumes " ), my body was just severely taxed after the illness and took that

long to rebuild a little bit of strength.

I found that ENADA (NADH) and the Life Extension whey product helped

shorten this recovery period. (Your mileage may vary :@)

I'd be interested to know what drugs are used for ? I'm pretty

familar with drugs but this whole combination Down's/Autism is very new.

Re the sweating issue. Ray does sweat occasionally but not profusely.

However, I am amazed that he doesn't because he insists on wearing heavy

duty and several layers of winter clothes in hot weather. I asked the

doctor if there was something causing it. She said he likes wearing them.

Someone else said that when kids are abused (I believe but can't prove that

he was in a temporary treatment placement) they want to wear more clothes for

a while.

Hi, Everyone....Sherry....I think she means the opposite. Some of

the drugs our kids are on makes them very sensitve to heat and they

sweat profusely. My son, Gareth, is that way. I can't get sunscrean

on him either, because he will gag and throw up due to the texture

and smell. Take care, Everyone.

Margeret,

I see, thank you very much for you response.

Matt does not sweat well either.

Well, it is hard to tell in Las Vegas-it is so dry that the sweat dries

before it ever forms. But back inCincinnati, he would actually throw up

if he got too hot. Then I realized that while the rest of us were

dripping wet from sweat, he was hot and dry! So, I just let everyone know

that if we are expecting hot weather (Daily here in Vegas), and he will

be unable to get out of it, you must remove his shirt, wet it down with

cold water and replace it. He hates it, but it does cool him off!

Hi Sherry and Margaret,

I missed the original post on " sweating " but I can tell you that does

not sweat, ever! He also takes Respirdal and Zyprexa and they both affect

(potentially) the bodies ability to control temperature and tolerate heat. I

can't remember a time when ever sweated though. Even as a baby and

small child, he would just get really red in the face and sort of wilt when he

got overheated..same as now. It's kind of scary really.

Hi and welcome Peggy! :-) Interesting theory. Hmmmmm. Seth is just

oblivious to heat or cold. He doesn't care one way or the other from what I

can tell.

My son Philip ( 35 years old ) does not sweat either. Even as a very young

child, I noticed that while everyone else was perspiring, he was not.

Philip gets very red, hot and dry looking and becomes lethargic and nauseated

when his internal cooling system

doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

I mentioned this to an MD who is doing a study on Down Syndrome and

Alzheimer's Disease, and even he hadn't heard of this problem in people with

DS.

He did say that there is a " condition " (with a very long name that I can't

recall) which produces this very same situation. Evidently the condition

would be diagnosed by a dermatologist.

I wonder how many of us are out there searching for an answer to this

particular problem, and if there are at least several of us, why isn't it

being addressed by the MDs who specialize in Down Syndrome?

I try to keep Philip as cool as possible and recently purchased a window

air-conditioner for his bedroom, since the energy situation here in CA this

year is not allowing us to run our whole house air-conditioning system.

Are there many more of us dealing with this?

My best to you all.

Philip's Mom,

Irene

[Guest guest]

Hi Irene,

Did you know that you can ask your utility provider (Edison or LA Dept. of Water

& Power) to give you a form for your doctor to fill out stating that you need to

run your a/c due to 's health and they will give you a break on the rate?

I mentioned it to 's Psychiatrist because he takes Risperdal and Zyprexa

and they both can affect the body's ability to control temperature. He was

amenable to the idea and said he was even going to mention something about the

rolling blackouts could affect adversely if we couldn't run the cooling

system (We have an evaporative cooler). I don't know that it would actually

make a difference to Edison with respect to the blackouts, but they do call me

to warn me if one is possible.

I agree Irene. I'd love to know the reasons behind it. We have a big old

stone house and never thought we would get AC. But because of Maddie, we

had to put in central air. Nobody but nobody in these houses around here

have that because of the size of the houses, but we had no choice. Using

units isn't possible as she *plays* with them.

Donna

[Guest guest]

we could run our central air if needed, but with the

huge rates increase we are trying very hard to break

even and hopefully fet a little credit in there before

another long winter, but nathan's room has been

staying cool so far, we have ceiling fans in every

room except the bathroom and basement,lol, and plus he

has a rotating fan by his window, seems to be working

for now, it gets down in the 60's at least during the

nite anyways, and he sweats up a storm weahter is 50

below or above, when he is sleeping especially, and we

finally got our budget lowered to a reasonable

payment. We do have a thing with the electric people

though they cant ever shut off our power because of

nathans CPAP machine etc, and if the doc says he needs

the air on, or if we notice he needs it, then they

will get info on this too, but they havent lowered our

rates for nathan's medical energy needs. shawna.

yes, I notice this..I guess acrid would be the word...very strong...not

recognizable...and I feel clammy...these are with minimal sweating.

I also notice if any area of skin is sensitive or any rash, or even where a skin

tag might be,even minimal sweat causes sharp sting/burning. I always wanted to

ask if anyone else experienes this?

This is when I most think I have some poisonous chemical in my system...

I used to have that problem. It seemed to come from exuded salt. Tasted like

regular salt. I needed to wash it off.

Also helps to put oil or lotion on my skin, when I start feeling " crisp " .

Adrienne

[Guest guest]

Katrina,

I guess I haven't paid much attention to that stinging pain as far as

sweating but I call it the " sensation of being scalded with hot liquid..how

the skin would feel the day after you were scalded " . I never am red where

this happens and I think it's a neuropathy since I have a sister with

advanced type 1 diabetes and she too gets this phenomenon.

[Guest guest]

Just my feelings on some things said about sweating:

It's easy to say sweating is hormonal, for instance...and female hormones at

that, but how do you explain the male friends I have met online for the last

10 years that have the same sweating, smells and problems? I've had a number

of middle aged females who are not ill say to my husband..so she sweats..so

what else is new? We do too! But I've had hormonal sweats..and guess

what..the hot flashes are way different than the sweats with this Darn

Disease! The sweats I have with the disease are fever sweats..they sting..I

feel just like anyone does with a fever, the weakness you get when you burst

into a sweat because the fever is breaking some before it rebuilds. The

thing is, for me, 99 degrees F. is a fever..something the docs will not

admit. The sweats with female hormone problems are preceeded by a flush of

the upper body and they feel quite different. The sweating is different and

occurs under different circumstances. Mine are controlled by injectable

estrogen. The estrogen also helps reduce my migraines which are different

than my chronic CFIDS headache. I have MPS but have never been diagnosed

with FMS. I have many friends with FMS who do have hormonal sweating, but

they don't have the type of sweating I do and they don't have CFIDS. It's

possible to have both, but not everyone does and I don't believe for one

minute that they are one and the same disease.

,

I have that same pain as you describe, primarily in my neck/shoulder area,

and my right lower leg. I have a coagulation defect which creates, or is

manifest by a deficiency in an enzyme needed to make myelin. I was on

Neurontin, but at a low dose, which helped some, but not enough. When it was

discovered that I had this particular coag defect, which was why traditional

pain meds (Vicodin, etc.) didn't work, my doc upped my Neurontin to 4800

mg/day. Since then, the pain is much more manageable, unless I'm late with a

dose. Of course, now that my leg doesn't burn as badly, I can tell how numb

it is! But I rarely need any med stronger than Toradol now, and that is for

headaches

I don't have hormonal sweats yet, but have to agree with your description of

the sweats with this DD. A favorite time is right after I eat a meal - when

my body is trying to expend energy to digest it - and I get very feverish

feeling (had been wrapped up in a blanket before eating), then break out in

a sweat and start shedding clothing until the sweat is over. My fever during

these times is never over 99F, usually it is still not even 98.6F (my avg

temp is 97.6 or so, and that is w/thyroid meds). 100F and I am

hallucinating! (When I was a baby I survived a 107F fever brought on by

acute lead poisoning, and sometimes wonder if that was the backdrop for this

whole mess)

Hi All,

I have two kinds of sweats from this disease. One is

early morning

sweats, where my head becomes a sponge mop and I have to dry it off

with a towel or sometimes put a towel over the pillow in the morning

if I don't want to get out of bed. My neck also sweats that way.

The other kind of sweating is if I have some hot food. It happens

with physically hot foods and I think hotly spiced foods. My body

starts to sweat very rapidly and I feel overheated very rapidly

and it is very uncomfortable. The speed at which it happens

and the intensity is not normal for me, when I was " normal " .

When the GBS was at its peak, I had patches all over my body that felt like

that. Most of them went away after treatment, but I have one the size of a

soccerball on my right hip that has remained. It is called Neuralgia, best as

I can figure and it is the result of neuroapathy. The Neurontin does help

some, but it is still there.

PS. Your analogy of scalding is very accurate.

hi ,

i didnt sweat for the first years of my illness except for fevers so in

the hot/humid summers outside i would get faint and i always drank plenty of

water.( sick elederly people may have the same promblem , inablity to

adapt/adjust properly to temperature changes to properly cool the body)

i do have /had ? high mercury levels. ( thanx doris)

since i started antibiotics i noticed i would start to sweat in more parts

of my body.I began sweating in response to the heat more.

Now i sweat all over my body again when i get hot and am no longer

getting the feeling of cold ice water for blood.

but the smell of the sweat differs depending on the cause :

for detoxing its a noxious odor from my arm pits mostly.yuck

for being over heated and fevers appears the same pattern of sweat response

on the body /odor..

to me its a good sign that in some way my body is getting better as before

i got sick i would be sweating the minute it hit 80 or humidity rose above a

certain level.

somish.

[Guest guest]

I have a crazy question. I've NEVER had a problem

with sweating (unless it's humid in which case

nothing/no one stays dry). Basically I DON'T sweat. I

love soaking in the bath as hot as I can stand it to

help relax the muscles (doesn't really work though)

and I still don't sweat. At least I don't think I do.

Comments???
