Hi Lori,

WOW!!!!!

That's it......you had exactly what I have!  Right down to the 
sweating on just one side of my body!

What I forgot to say.........is that I have a pressure sore (3 months
now) that is healing well....on my right leg...the same side I sweat.

One side of my forehead would be dripping soaking wet
while the other is bone dry.

It seems.....I have to wait until it heals.....before the 2ndary 
symptoms subside.

Did you have any skin itching?

Thanks so much.

I hope you're going to the game tomorrow!
pj

  That happened to me quite recently and it lasted for several months.  I 
thought for sure that t had to be one of two things... my spine or my 
hemorrhoids.  Come to find out... there was a tiny pressure sore just 
underneath my right foot on the right side (near my pinky toe) but not visible 
to either my home health aide (even when she was washing my feet) or my husband 
who can usually see and keeps an eye on me for skin problems all the time.  It 
was just a quite hidden location so it was overlooked.

  I knew something was wrong but I had no idea what it could be.  And it would 
do just what you said.  Sometimes it would only last for five minutes and I 
would have the terrible clammy sweats on the left side of my body up by my 
shoulder blade and back-- and the goosebumps.  Other times it would last for an 
hour.  And some days it did not happen at all.  Crazy!  One would think that if 
it hurt... it would get worse during the day.  But nope... it got better as the 
day wore on.  Nuts!

  Sometimes it's the least thing you would expect so I have no idea what to 
tell you since it took us months and someone to sit in the very place where 
they could see my little pressure sore directly.  So I had to go without my 
right shoe for a couple of months or more and all the symptoms went away.

    Can anyone help me with this........sometimes I just get the 
    chills/sweats/very mild dysreflexia.....and then it goes away...
    might come back in 5 minutes......or 2 days.

    It can last from a minute to a few hours.  Oh......my skin 
    arms/chest/shoulders/face itches badly at times.

    I'm a train wreck.

    THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT!
