Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 Jane, I did a Medline data base search using " Chiari AND sweating " as the search phrase and found one reference that may pertain to your problem. You might want to show the reference to your doctor. See below: Segmental hyperhidrosis (sweating) in two siblings with Chiari type I malformation. Stovner LJ, Sjaastad O. Eur Neurol. 1995;35(3):149-55. Department of Neurology, Trondheim University Hospital, Norway. A marked, left-sided segmental hyperhidrosis (sweating), verified by quantitative evaporimetry, corresponded to an area of dissociated sensory loss in 2 siblings (male 49 years old, female 47 years old). MRI scans of the head and whole cord demonstrated a Chiari type I malformation in both. In the male, there was a syrinx of the neck. The level of this did not correspond to the hyperhidrosis and dissociated sensory loss areas of the trunk and thigh. The female, who had no syrinx, had hyperhidrosis (sweating) and dissociated sensory loss of the head, neck, upper trunk, and arm, and anisocoria (unequal pupil size) with the larger pupil ipsilateral(same side of the body) to the sweating. This rare disorder may be due to a disinhibition of the preganglionic sympathetic neurons caused by cord lesion(s) interrupting inhibitory descending and spinal pathways which are important for the normal thermoregulatory sweating.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 Jane... Not that I don't think that Bernard's reply is a possibility, but I suggest that you look into the side effects of the Neurontin. I, too, am on Neurontin, and, after I take my medication, I sweat profusely for 1-2 hours. It drives me crazy, but the Neurontin helps. Also, I have discovered that if I sleep in and miss my morning dose that I have " cold sweats " for the rest of the day. This is just my experience... hops it helps.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 I thought that it was just me who sweated like that. I am also on day long morphine and neurontin. I blame the morphine because i did not do this when I was only on the neurontin. warm regards Ann in Brisbane Australia UNCOMFORTABLE! Hi Group: My question is can Chari,syrinx make you sweat excessively? it seems like something to do with my body temperature is out of whack.I always have to wear something loose and cottoney,never a long sleeved sweater or even short sleeved and never a turtle neck Ihave to have the air conditioner on at all times,my poor husband just patiently puts on more clothes. Can it be the meds I take? I am on neurontin and one a day long lasting morphine.This is not hot flashes, like my doctor would like to believe,I know my body and Iknow it is not normal for a person to feel this way.I am on premarin, which I think should relieve the sweating if it were hot flashes,I have never had this problem before I was dx with chari syrinx.I was decompressed Aug.2000.please reply to group as others might have the same problem. Thanks Jane BC Canada.

My surgeon said it could be chiari, so I hope it stoped now. My surgery was at 6 may. Kikki in Sweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
