Post Covid sweating: Is this common for others too?

Same!! I got Covid in 2021 and I have not stop having sweats all during the day and night. I had no idea it was Covid. I take Gabapentin(prescribed)during the day and Sleep Cool estrogen which is over the counter to help with the night sweats. I’m only 38 and my hormones are normal. Glad to have found an answer.

Got COVID Jul, recovery and then suddenly on Oct 1 I had night sweat. i have had these symptoms 1 1/2 years
i have been diagnosed with fybermyolgia post séquela long hauler covid syndrome
plus swollen hot knees in constant pain

Same symptoms, no fevers. Had fibromyalgia before Covid. Got Covid 5/22. Exasperated my fibromyalgia. Take aleve in daytime and low dose Naltroxine in pm, gets me through the day

thank you for replying 🙂

It is just awful to be almost constantly perspiring. When i am doing anything I just drip water. Otherwise the back of my hair is always wet. I am also having hot flashes. I am 74, and menopause is long gone. I have been taking Duloxetine, 60 mg for the hot flashes and it helps, but not really with the perspiration. I am going to try your remedy. How many mgs of Gabapentin do you take? Once a day?
Thank you

I never had a fever, despite three weeks of hospitalization. Most of my symptoms are gone. Sometimes the smell in my nose returns with a different odor, but just for a short while. Sweating is a real problem. Now I have a swollen lower face, and lumps above my clavicle. MRI says it's swollen buccal glands. I have an appointment with a specialist later this month. The Cleveland Clinic has a very good article on Salivary Glands, and the swelling could be caused by many things. All the doctors I saw had no idea why the swelling occurred. One told me that liposuction was the only thing to get rid of the swelling. This is also attributed to long covid. I have to wonder if different symptoms are going to continually arise.
I contacted the Mayo Clinic last week and have not heard back from them.

I can understand your situation as I am in the same boat. I am so embarrassed when I start to perspire in front of people, so I stay away from even small get togethers . This virus has caused such havoc, not only when it's acute but when long covid manifests. Mine manifested three months after I was hospitalized for Covid. It is now 14 months later and a new symptom has arisen. My lower face is so swollen, I look like a chipmunk. I have lumps above my clavicle. Doctors have asked me to let them know what the cause is when I find out!! I'm pretty sure is a lymphatic issue so I have had lymphatic drainage treatments, but no luck so far. I see another specialist later this month. Yes, I am crying too!

Wow.
Once again: thank Heaven we have each other. I’ve been told… well, you all know what I’ve been told!! Fact is, this is debilitating. Sweating so profusely changes up everything. As does dizziness. And fatigue. Very very validating. I hesitate to say this, because I don’t want to discourage anyone? But I got Covid in 3/20. I have had a few months here and there where I felt pretty good. That’s what I’m hoping for.

Hi @car0. Thank you for sharing your experiences to help all of us have realistic expectations while we heal from this! I had phone appt this morning and just laying in bed talking caused severe sweating with horrible odor. No rhyme or reason other than seems bodies cant do more than one thing, like thinking and talking, or unaware have used up energy and brings on these various debilitating/embarrassing/everchanging symptoms. Been doing this over a year and hopeful everyone will find personal care methods and this groups support for healing🌈
