I just saw this post. So glad you managed to have a good day. I have that issue with sweating. I have asked doctor after doctor about this with no true answer. Your post made me realize that it could be related to when I am in pain. I did a walk almost every day last week and now I can barely move. I was "pushing" through it and I am now paying for it. I will go for a more modest walk tonight. I appreciate you sharing, as it makes me feel not so alone in this journey through pain. I am about ready to see if I can get into a pain specialist.

Depends on the condition. I went through several doctors and many years. All started over 15 years with endometreosis. Many times we have illness predicating on our genetics which reveal themselves over time through environment. Example: alligator nests compile of all male embryos. If there is a tempature increase of just a few degrees the embryos will be female. I would try to find a good general doctor or better yet an internal medicine physician. Testing is important but there is nothing better than a doctor who listens and acts. Persistence is key. After years of trial and error and medicine that put me to sleep I finally know. Steroids have eased the crippling pain from rheumatoid disease. I have begun plaquenil and trying new biologic next week. Limiting calories has stymied my weight gain from prednisone. Pain meds do have their place so don't count them out. Tramadol takes the edge off and does not make me woozy. The first few doses did but it went away. I wish you good luck and blessings on your journey. PS poly cystic ovaries can really cause problems like you're describing. Anxiety and blood sugar issues can be debilitating. You need a good doctor specializing in OBGyn Reproductive Endocrinology. I finally found one for my daughter who has PCOS. It's just a shame that we had to search for help like we did. Keep searching. Help us out there.
