Yes, excessive sweating called hyperhydrosis, is one of the many symptoms you can have with PD. I live in FL and get drenched just working in my garden! But I also have periods when I am freezing cold and just can’t get warm. PD has an effect on the autonomic nervous system which can cause these symptoms. Hope you will spend some time on the MJFox webinars. You learn so many things about your disease that your neurologist doesn’t tell you or have the time to explain.

Sweating is not always a problem for me as yet. My doctor does tell me it is a symptom of PD. However, when it is hot outside, and I mow the yard or exercise vigorously, I will sweat profusely, to the point of saturating my shirt. This was not always the case. Another indicator I must accept my diagnosis.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, you got a heated mattress? Ohhh… that sounds wonderful!! You live in a cold state, too. A heated mattress sounds so good! So warm! So delightful! Enjoy being warm!

From today when my sister and her husband visited. I’m the pink Pepto Bismol one. This isn’t where I would normally post a photo, but I’m definitely not sweating. The sweater is because I am always cold.
