Excessive sweating
« on: August 22, 2013, 02:12:50 am »

I work out 3 or 4 times a week and notice that in the hour and a half or so time I'm there, I have to change my shirt twice. I'm soaked less than half way through. I do high intensity training but not always cardio.

I've noticed this excessive sweating since I've become positive and on meds in the past year.

Anyone else experience this?

I cant find the thread right now but there has been a few of us discussing hot flashes and sweating . It sometimes comes over me while sitting watching TV , I call it meltdown mode . It happens fast and Im covered in sweat in less than a minute .

It might not be the same as you are experiencing but yes , I get the sweats . Im on Truvada / Intelence .

The last few days in particular I've been aware of feeling really warm and being quite sweaty. I've been on Truvada (plus atazanavir and ritonavir) for nearly a month now, but I'm also giving up smoking.

If a handful of you guys are getting something similar, I'll just stop worrying about it and mention it to my doc at the next appointment  :)

I'm on Intelence, Isentress and Truvada.  My main complaint all along has been the excessive sweating and always feeling overheated. 

I do at least one load of laundry a day thanks to having to change clothes so often.  I also have to shower several times a day as I can't stand to be sweaty unless I'm horizontal. ;D

   I also overload Bob with laundry as I change three times a  day . 

      I also can not stand to feel dirty .   Blowing dust or debris drives me crazy ! 
  Having an air compressor on hand helps out during the day , I blow dry myself often   ;)

Hmm interesting..
I'll bring it up at my next doc appt and get his feedback too.

But yah, I hate being soaked like that.
I also have to "dress up" for work when in the office and a couple other meetings during the week which are generally more restrictive than my casual clothes

I'm beginning to hate dressing up since I break out in a sweat way more easily outside of the gym too.
