Profusely sweating

Ever since I finished 5 days of plasmapheresis I now sweat profusely. I’m talking about when I wake up every morning I am drenched. No amount of deodorant helps during the day. Does anyone else experience this? If so, how do you deal?

  1. Hi there! Is this your first plex treatment? This isn't something that I experienced, I was actually the opposite after my plex treatments and was very cold for a while. Have you talked to your doctor about this?-Mo(Neuromyelitis-optica.net moderator)

  2. I have had problems with sweating so bad the last couple years. But seems to only be my face and head. It's cold out right now but I still set air conditioner on 62 have fan on high on me and sweat pours off my face and my hair is so wet looks like I just got out of shower. Does this year around and its so embarrassing. I mean it pours off my face and head. I have asked doctors but nobody knows why. I ask if its from the nmo but again nobody knows. Does anyone else experience this and if so have you been told why?

    1. I wish I had answers for you. I can only imagine how frustrating that must be. I hope you’re able to figure out what’s going on. Thinking of you, Julie (team member)
