Hi, I used to sweat day and night..cold, cold sweats which I hated..everyone thought I was hot! Turns out it was due to an ulcer on the bottom of my foot which was being treated by wouund care drs..but up until the wound closed I would sweat..the wound finally closed I stopped sweating! The sweating is our body's way of telling us something is wrong....I believe there's a cause..mu ulcer was so tiny at the end and I would still sweatday and night!!!

Carla, it is almost certainly dysreflexia. I think about every member of this list including myself has experienced those miserable sweats. The frustrating thing is it can have many different causes, only two of which are bladder and bowel. Absolutely anything that could generate pain can cause it. The two drugs that best calm the sweat glands are ditropan and propantheline. Most of us take one or the other, and usually they are pretty effective. Do you take either of those? If not, talk to the ol' doc. Good luck and God bless.
