Post Covid sweating: Is this common for others too?

I had covid last November 2022 and I started sweating profusely along with hot patches on my torso and palpitations, I compared it to menopause on steroids. Research indicates it was a common side effect of Omicron. Of course I felt some comfort in numbers but the problem is not going away.. I seem to go in cycles where I have a few good days and then it starts again. I’m having trouble going outside with this condition, when it’s cold weather you’re frightened being outside and a sweat attack comes on and you’re soaking wet under your clothes. I have 4 grandchildren and it’s been so hard for me to visit with them, they were already worried about me since they learned from their parents that I had cancer. Honestly, I look rather thin but I always put on a good show for them so not to add worries, they have been through a lot like most young people and children. I am also going to take another vaccine in May, I do have some concern if this will have a negative effect on my covid symptoms, I guess I’ll have to wait and see.

I joined this group because I have annoying neuropathy in both my feet, sometimes traveling up to my knees. But now I have a new one for everybody. I had a positive Covid-19 test on Sept. 28. I was pretty much self trating, was able to get a doctors appt. (PA) today. It was suggested that I get an infusion. The one that medicare approves of or of course the more expensive one. I choose the medicare approved one. While I was waiting I got extremely hot, so they bought me some water and turned on a desk fan. When they tried to put the needle in, I started to faint and asked them to stop. I was given a z-pack and predisone. That was today and tonight, I started getting hot off and on, and think I was having hot flashes. I am 79. I can't find out much on the web, but it does appear that hot flashes are a common sign in the UK of Omicron BA.5 (1 in 10) are suffering hot flushes. Has any one else experience this?

I also have profuse sweating. On and off all day long with or without any exertion. Hot flashes are somewhat controlled with an SSR, but nothing so far has helped the sweating. This has been going on for 15 months. Most of my other Long Covid symptoms have gone, but this still lingers. Now my lower face has become swollen on both sides. CT and MRI say they are fatty buccals. What caused this and what is the cure?? So far no doctor knows. Even the Mayo Clinic told me that they do not diagnose, so no help there at this time. No doctor has even been interested enough to look into this, so I am trying to find cause and cure. I would be interested to know if the vaccine helps you. Please keep us informed. Thanks and good luck.
