Excessive head and face sweating

I was prescibed Lyrica which I believe is for fibromyalgia.  You may want to ask your doctor about that.  Did not work for me BUT it can be successful.  

When I go to a formal event, I take a small blow dryer and flat iron.  My cardiologist said that going from extreme heat to air conditioning which will bring that on.  Air conditioning believe it or not kicks mine up.  He told me if I am outside and the heat becomes too much, go into the shade and try and lower your temperature before you got into air conditioning.  

I would like to know what that "gadget is you were talking about.  I bought a cooling pillow which helped a bit at night.  I could go on and on but seriously depressing.  I'm still looking!!!!!!!!!!!!   Stay cool - breath, put those cooling towels around you neck - that does help.  I take sometimes three "COLD" showers which lower my temperature.  

I;m late to this forum posting but have the same issue!  My face, head drip rivers at the slightest exertion or warm atmoshere.  Sweat will drip down my back when I'm just putting on makeup.  I don't have FibroM. but do have chronic back pain so I do feel sweating is somewhat related to the body's effort to deal with constant pain.  Mine too gets worse every year to where I am now off work due to the pain and the sweating that made me have to leave trainings and seminars etc if the rm was warm before everyone noticed my hair getting flatter and my face wetter.  I looked into the drug you all mentioned called glycopyrrolate but it seems to interact with a huge number of other meds including about half of the meds I currently take.  That sucks!  Didn't anyone else run into that issue?  

I am a 64 yr old woman who has suffered for many years from head sweats. My underarm sweating is not really too bad but as soon as I get hot, my head sweats rapidly and my hair is soaked. 

I had a heart attack last December and am on a lot of drugs as a consequence, but the head sweats were going on long before that. I am almost a stone overweight at 11 st 9lb. I dread Summer. I spend a lot of time indoors with an electric fan. 

I literally thought I was going mad I'm 46 I've been like it for years

I can't get ready to go anywhere I'm constantly drying my hair, it causes my

eyes and nose to constantly drip like a tap.

I can't do something simple like hover without looking as if I've been out in the rain

It causes so much problems in my relationship i won't go anywhere because of this

it will take me all day to get ready but I'm never ready.

I've constantly got a fan on weather winter/summer

I can't have the heating on in my house in the winter I litrally can't bare it

everyone else is freezing. I put makeup on it constantly runs off my face

It's really embarrassing I would give anything for this to go away.

I have excessive sweating from the head and face. Running down my body. I cannot use makeup or go to my meetings.i am a member of the Royal Canadian legion and when I got to our meeting everyone wonders what the heck is wrong. Same as playing darts.  It's embarrassing. I seem to be fine if I do nothing but any exertion at all bring on the gigantic sweating frenzy. My doctor has no clue.  I am in my early 70 and this just started about 6 Months ago. I am at my wits end. 

I to have been suffering from this debilitating condition for just over two years now I have tried many different things to help but nothing helps and doctor is like just wipe the sweat of, like that helps it just keeps pouring out, in the last six months whenever the sweats occur my skin has become overly sensitive to air and if there is any cold/chill in the air it feels like my skin is being cut with razor blades going into supermarkets now cause pain but I must so I wear a jacket which causes people to stare and whisper cause here I am sweating like crazy like someone has tipped a bucket over my head but I'm wearing a jacket, has anyone come across anything that has helped them even a little I am desperate
