I haven't sweated for many years and I've read that lack of sweating is one of the possible sequela of ME/CFS.
Anyways a few months ago I noticed that my underarms got very slightly damp - it was noticeable because it hasn't happened I so long, I haven't needed deodorant! but am starting to a little.
And now we are having a major heat wave (115 yesterday). I have a swamp cooler and fans so am relatively comfortable but even sweated a bit more on the back of my neck and my front a little, as well as underarms - not dripping, just damp, but I'll take what I can get!
I tried to find what bodily system controls sweating, I thought it might be the HPA axis - does anybody know? It seems that something is working a little better - I'm not really excited because progress with this DD happens excruciatingly slowly ... but at least it does seem to be a tiny bit of progress (I hope!)
