Ive been paralized for 3 years now, and am just now starting to sweat below the level of injury. My heart rate doesn't change, no headache's, or anything else AD related. Forum post's on other site's are mixed opinion AD , or return of funcion. Is there anyone out there who know's how to tell the differance?

Superman,
Just want say hello and welcome here. Been 5yrs now for me and from the beginning I have sweated below my level of injury. Im a very active para though so that most likely has to do with it. Not sure what to tell ya bout the return of function...

Does the sweating accompany exertion or hot weather?

please explain what is going on when you sweat. what is the temperature are you exerting yourself physically? does it occur when one would normally sweat? are there any other symptons that occur when you are sweating?

from your post it's very difficult to guess as to the cause.
