I experience extreme sweating that is not associated with menopause. It always starts on my head. My head tingles like pins and needles and then the sweats start. I flush bright red on the face and chest. The sweat is cold. I can be sitting still and will start to sweat. I can start sweating with minimum exertion, like walking into another room. I sweat profusely after a shower (ANY temperature) and it can take hours to cool down. When the weather is chilly, if I wear a coat or jacket, I soak the inside of the outerwear in minutes. This has affected ever aspect of my life.
