@jj8431 im sorry to hear you are going through this, but I've finally found someone with exactly the same side effects as myself . It's awful, and really gets to me, every time I do a little task in the house, or outside it starts, and it takes ages to stop, my hair get absolutely soaked, uncomfortable and embarrassing. Im struggling with this, been taking to my Dr today as I've had it, I have polymyalgia Ruematica so im on prednisone 1ve went from 15mg to 7 daily have few months to go, I can feel pain coming back, which must be due to the decreasing amounts, im putting on so much weight. Am glad I came across this page. And for people to understand me

@macdonald Hi I have also been suffering with this severe sweating mainly from my head for years everyone ignored it, said there was nothing that could be done . It was like a river running down my head. The hairdresser even deserted me.
Eventually two years ago was diagnosed with Giant Cell Artritis and PMR. No one has connected the two. I have been on Prednisolone Methotrexate and now started Tocilizumab. Quite a cocktail . I have started reducing Prednisolone. The sweating gradually slowed right down while I’ve been on all these drugs and I now only get it occasionally which is so good. One good side effect.

@macdonald As my dose was lowered I started having hot flashes galore. I am currently down to 3 mg/day,
