Excessive sweating during peri-menopause

[Trekhawk]

Thank goodness it is winter here because in summer I sweat a huge amount.
I have noticed that it seems worse over the last couple of years but I don't know if that is to do with perimenopause or not. Good to know I am not the only one that finds this annoying.

I've had it, too. I am almost ten years postmenopause, and it did take a long time to go away.
My hot flashes didn't make me sweat, either, just get incredibly hot.

I am beyond peri-menopause (had a total hysterectory in 2001) and I've noticed that I am sweating like a pig. I never used to sweat like I do now. Sweat drips down in my eyes when I ride, it drips off of me when I'm working in the yard. Last night I was decorating my bike for the 3 day breast cancer event & sweat was falling off my face. I sweat at night time.

Grant it, it's been extremely hot & humid, but it doesn't matter, I sweat when it's not hot & humid. Every morning like clock work when I'm getting ready for work, I get so hot and I can't stand it (that's probably a hot flash) and I start sweating.

Hopefully, it's like one poster wrote, maybe it's a sign of fitness. When I ride as a crew member for the 3 day, I'm sure I will be soaked at the end of the day.

I'll bet your fitness IS the reason for all the sweat. Read this.

I don't think that there is a single woman in my gym over a certain age who does not sweat profusely, constantly while working out. Not to mention the running nose! You can just about tell a womans age by how often she swipes her nose while exercising.

I take comfort in the fact that it indicates a sign of of increasing fitness.

Ha, I ALWAYS run and bike with a hanky...when it's warm it's mostly for sweat, but the rest of the year it's for snot. Though I do have craptacular sinuses, so I've always blamed that for my faucet of a nose.

I've never heard of a runny nose having to do with age. Is that common? I wonder if it's air conditioning that's the problem -- AC has always made my nose run (at any age).

I read the article -- interesting. I'm going with the fitness explanation
