Does anyone out ther suffer from excess perpiration?  It is 84 degress out today I was outside for 30 min. with just moderate activity and my shirt was as wet as if I had been standing in the shower.  All of  this sweating dosen't seem  to cool my system down becouse I get rubbery legs and feel like I'm going to passout.  Anyone have this problem and or found a solution?

3of8,
My mom-in-law, who had PD, used to just have the stuff pouring off of her! Made her so angry because it wasn't in the least lady-like and she, above all things, was a lady. I don't know if it's the meds or the Dam* Disease but it's certainly a pain in the neck! When she was perspiring like this we started giving her Gatorade, at least a glass a day. Really cleared up those rubbery legs once she got her electrolytes recharged. Doc told her to have a small glass when she was 'sweating' and keep drinking it as long as it tasted good. As soon as it started to taste 'salty' or something she would quit and save it for the next time.

Hope this helps.

In my case I perspire a lot (excessive sweating) when I'm having dyskenessia. The involuntary movement makes me sweat specially in the head and back. This usually happen when i take 2 regular Sinemet. When one tablet seems not to be working, I take another one, and that the next thing, I'm sweating a lot.

This is a hallmark symptom of atpyical Parkinson's disease.  This certainly does not mean the you suffer from one of the atypical forms of PD, but that this symptom in very common in the PD family of diseases.  My poor husband hates it when I roll down the car windows in the middle of winter because the inside of the car is too hot.
