Does anyone have this? According to my neurologist, Parkinsons usually creates a the condition of not sweating. This is getting extremely bad for me, embarrassing and just in general annoying. I have tried different meds, one of the last me levadopa, made me very "spacy" quit taking it. The sweating is head sweating
I find that I'm always hot. I keep my home very cool but it doesn't usually help. My MDS says it's my autonomic system from the PD. I think it's the carbidopa/levodopa which lists sweating as a side effect. He adjusted the times of my dosages and it helped a little, however, it seems to be starting again. Every day is a new problem to solve.
No i have not discussed it with him. One thing for sure, I do not want to add another pill to control the sweating. So far I just roll with it. I know it will ease off soon after it starts when I settle down a little. I find it odd and challenging when applying face paint, er make up. I have a small fan blowing on me while at my mirror. Seems all I can do. It is good to find someone who has experienced it and it is not just me. Usually women equate my fanning and sweating to Hot Flashes. That is the embarrassing part for me. Talk to your doctor about your Levadopa med. He might be able to start you out at a lower dose, or a different med. But please always talk to your doctor instead of just stopping a medication. You doctor is the best assistant you have in managing PD. Your feedback to him on how something is working is how he will manage the symptoms.
I have the same problem. Sweat pouring down my face, my hair soaked
OMG, I have the head sweating and over-heatedness too!! And of course I sweat all over too. But the rivers running down my face and wet hair is just awful! Does the Sinemet CAUSE this? I feel like I need to take a shower all the time. ACK!!!!!
Head sweating can be a sign of Vitamin D deficiency. There are many articles on this, you can find through Google. Hope this helps.
