@cropdoc, @emo, @ae2024, and all... YES! ITS AWFUL!
Since Covid last July and again in November, I've experienced excessive sweating, night sweats, full body sweats, the worst is the head and face sweating.
It begins suddenly, for no known reason, from the head, down my temples and face. It gets in my eyes causing sight and burning issues. All my make-up runs down my face and gets wiped off. I now use waterproof eye makeup!!! And, water resistant make-up. It's very severe, sudden, no exercise needed, debilitating. At times it affects my entire body.

The doctor's had no explanation, no comment, nothing... until my Mayo rheumatologist called it post-covid sweating. How about that!

I'm on methatrexate 7.5 mg once weekly and 10mg Prednisone for PMR, GCA, and Sarcoidosis flares after Covid that won't go away.

The PMR and GCA are residual from Covid, 1st attack of each following the July infection. The addition of Methotrexate has made a huge improvement. I have less fatigue, less pain all over, and less sweating.

I've been up at night wiping off sweat, changing gowns, changing sheets and often changing pillow cases. My pillow gets wet and very hot to touch.

My head gets hot, face turns bright red, all over or on the right side only. At night or during day with no exercise...

I believe Methotrexate is helping. We'll see. But, it has lessened in the past month.

I have an appt with a new program at the Mayo Florida, referred by rheumatology. It's an internal medicine doctor to oversee my post - covid ongoing and new issues. I'm thrilled!

I believe she will help with sweating, PMR, GCA, Sarcoid flares, shortness of breath, fatigue, increased edema/neuropathy, and more.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. I'm glad to know I'm not having a repeat of the horrid years of menopause. Very similar...

I sometimes put small amounts of cold water I'm drinking on the top of my head! On paper towels to wipe my face and neck, chest and arms. The water helps. As does cool air.

Well, this is fun, eh? I'm so pleased Mayo is helping with these issues. Covid-2 infections-changed my life in many ways and continues to raise havoc. Nasty virus...
Blessings to you all as you walk this crazy journey...
