Hi, recently I have been sweating pretty bad below my injury level lower back,round my stomach and under my chest and only one arm pit the other arm pit stays as dry as a bone?
I never used to have this problem it was always above the t3 that sweated,I also have become really stiff in my lower back and stomach area even though I stretch every morning and have checked for a urine infection which was my first thought and all is clear at the moment and checked for sores every where but my skin is clear it only happens when sitting in my chair and it gets worse when driving sitting more upright seems to make it a little worse it is getting to be a problem now?
Any one have any thoughts.

Thanks in advance

Motorcycle accident, or sniper fire depends who is in the room at the time LOL

could be something I went through: " neuroleptic malignant syndrome "

(from drug interaction, usually an SNRI with a codeine-derivative)

kidney damage sets in immediately --> death
see your doctor as soon as possible, and make sure they test your PKU

(don't you love all the medical mishaps we experience? at least I can hopefully help you avoid problems)

yep, that was when I would change the fentanyl patches
it was withdrawal when the blood levels of the medicine went down

best thing to do is log when this occurs and see if a pattern emerges

Hi there, I have the same problem, and sometimes down my leg too - yes down my right side only. EXTREMELY frustrating as it is fairly random but regular. It is my biggest problem to resolve by far.
Anyone with an answer yet?
A wheelchair is for life, not just for Christmas...
That will do for now till I think of something interesting...
