Hi,

but is overheating and flushing the same ?
Are you sweating too when you overheat ?
Because the HyperHidrosis conditions looks like the same but the main consequence is excessive sweating. I have HH. And I know what overheating means. But with me the result is that I liquefy ... :-(

i do have HH which is solved by the small miracle that is Driclor lol, but thats only in one place and i feel hot all over. i do sweat of course because of the heat but it is not excessive, it is simply caused by the heat. so the problem is overheating in a sence.

I overheat when I'm nervous as well. It's just like I'm burning up and then I start sweating and I'm so sure everyone notices. It's complete misery. There are just like waves of heat going through me and I can't cool down until I'm alone and can feel comfortable with myself again. You are far from alone in feeling this WhydoItry.

Thanks for posting this topic. Sweating as been the root problem in my battle with SA. I do believe alot of us are experiencing symptoms of HH, also known as social phobia. Its a huge problem for me, seems it just takes a small trigger for me to become drenched in my own sweat. I mostly sweat from my face, which becomes very apperent to anyone looking at me and it just kills me! :twisted: Im waiting on the results of a thyroid test my psychiatrist ordered, but its a long shoot that it has anything to do with it. Anyway thanks for listening, and for posting this topic.

Just so you know and others out there know I am yet another person who experiences terrible flushing / sweating, I feel the need that I need to escape from the situation & it is a desperate horrible feeling. When it happens its like its all you can think about the person who your talking to thinks that your weird/mad or if the opposite sex that you fancy them, I find it so distressing and I cant help but relay these images at a later through my mind and that just makes me feel worse. The horrible thing about my Social Phobia is that I feel like a normal women, what I mean by that is that Im kind and caring and fun to be around. But this only limited to people I feel comfortable around. I hate that I can only be my self around my partner and close familey and to socialize in a pub or what ever I need a drink. I have not yet been diagnosed but am waiting to see a specialist, I also believe that I have ADHD. Is anyone in here unable to work because of there illness/es? I have just come out of yet another job because of my social phobia, and the ironic thing is it was a fantastic position. Hey but thats social phobia....... Roll on my diagnosis..... & roll on my recovery... Thanks for listening.... Nadine
