One of my symptom in fibro is hypohidrosis , I really can't sweat at all normally. The only time I sweat is during my night sweat caused by sleep anxiety and sleep disturbance. Or just a feeling of sweating because my hair pores are being force opening to release heat on top of my head while eating hot chili peppers, (that's why I eat them to relieve migraine).
Although it's sounds good for the reason of no body odor or no underarm sweat problem like other normal people. I can't relieve heat out of my body through my skin. I can easily get heatstroke plus panic attack from it. Another word, it could very well be the symptom that can kill me during summer heat ( literally).
I wonder if all other fibro people who suffer from the heat similar way like I do also maybe hypohidrosis? Cause I get painful burning skin mostly on the knees and joints first then the forearms and thighs, back side and neck, chests from times to time and hips. I panting like a dog when it happen which cause me to hyperventilating and that's why I can easily get panic attack from it. I usually wipes my self with cold water towels, I recently learn how to use cold shower or cold bath in the correct way which is lukewarm first then slowly turn to cold. Otherwise I would sometime ended up with a summer cold fever if I'm not careful. So since I can't sweat , high temperature fever will happen very easily with me. I can't take medication for it since it cause dry mouth , and dry mouth with me mean continuingly episode of panic attack during awake and during sleep so ice packs, ice bath , ice towels would probably have to do for now.
Does these sound familiar to you?
The tests for Hypohidrosis involving electro zapping ( or see if you pores can produce sweat) and pick your skin off for skin biopsy ( they'll cut you) . So if waiting for this test is making you sweat then good news! You might not have Hypohidrosis
