Excessive sweat on forehead

Astra the slightest heat makes me sweat. i the doors and windows are closed even in winter, i will sweat especially on my forehead.
sweat is cool and sometimes stinky. not all the time. cant bear the slightest heat.
And no i dont have any nausea or headache. Sweat all the time on my face too. It trickles down and harms my hearing aid too.
My aneurysm was diagonised to be there at birth which flared up at the age of 34. I was given Causticum 50 M by a top homeopath who didnt really know my history 3-4 days before. It was at the bottom of my brain and the surgeon Prof D Rout said it was the most difficult case. But I must tell you here also it was homeo which helped me. I was given Arnica 10 m, 3 doses before being admitted.

I got first diagonized with Raynauds in 1992. Ten my diabetes came forth in 1999 and high BP shortly thereafter. these may be hereditatory. All the family on my mother's side had high BP and my paternal grandfather had diabetes. but i must say that in his family of 11 sons and daughters and 24 grandchildren only 2 of us, my youngest aunt and myself got daibetes. I think i have covered all your points. Yes my colitis came after my discharge from hospital after my aneurysm. just now i have suffered another attack after eating at a wedding for 2 consecutive days.

I forgot to write an imp point. I suffered from diplopia 3-4 times before i got my aneurysm and my Sir gave me Lilium Tigrinum 30 to cure it. the allopaths suggested prism glasses. But i must say that after i got cured, i read on the net only that Diplopia is an important symptom of aneurysm. No doctor could say this and i went to some of the top ones for diagonisys.

Sweat
I am answering all yr questions as under....
Acute Case Questionnaire
1. Onset--did the complaint come on suddenly or gradually?

Astra i dont really remember how the colitis started as it is so long ago.. i would get much worse attacks and would be under antibiotics and thereafter homeopathy. slowly but surely i was you can say under remission, but still it may flare up at the smallest pretext as now. am having to take the antibiotics since yesterday as my present dr's medicine has not helped.

2. Etiology--the cause. What happened? What was going on at, or about, the time of the
occurrence?
By this what do you mean. What is etiology. If aneurysm nothing was going on. In fact the day 21st August 1994 was a festival and it was at night my husband heard me blowing softly from my lips and i ws unconscious. Was rushed to hospital and the rest is a long history.

3. Sensation--describe the pain or other feeling. Does it extend anywhere, does it shoot anywhere? For instance, "It feels like there's a crumb in my throat, I'm constantly trying to swallow. The pain shoots to my left ear."

The crumb in my throat is there. I cant drink cold because of this and hate hot drinks. I also get sore throat with loss of voice in case i get a cold which is the most severe i have seen. It is only now that i found it happens due to acidity and Ipecac 30, single dose helped a lot each time.

4. Appearance--what does the person, or the part that's bothering the person, look like; anything remarkable? Red skin, droopy eyes, etc.?

Normal. nothing remarkable

5. Location--where on the body?

Only my stomach the upper portion feels heavy and it also aches from time to time.

6. Modalities--what makes the complaint better or worse? Consider: heat or cold, bathing, warm rooms, fresh air, drafts, motion, time of day when person gets worse, what position is best/worse, stimuli--conversation, noise, light, touch, pressure, massage, music, company, consolation, etc.

I hate the warmth. i sweat a lot then. cool weather is nice, but cant bear to bathe n cold water even in summer. Am back in Calcutta after a span of 4 yrs and am already sweating like a pig. the others are normal.

7. Concomitants (additional symptoms that came with the main complaint)--for instance, pain with crying; pain with excessive salivation; pain with nausea--the things that have come along for the ride, fellow-travelers, in other words.

NO additional symptoms.

8. Discharges--color, odor, consistency. (A discharge is anything liquid that's coming out, oozing out, etc. So, for instance, runny nose, diarrhea, lacrimation and so on.)
Nothing

9. Generals--these are all the "I" symptoms: I'm hot, I'm cold, I'm thirsty, I'm tired, I'm sad, I'm irritable, I'm hungry, I want pickles, etc.

I feel very thirsty even in winter but can drink only few sips of water at a time. love spicy food but thats controlled. Hunry even in the worst of sickness.

10. The mentals: Have the mentals changed from normal, in what way? What's different mentally and emotionally?
NO

11. What does the person say? For instance: "I'm fine, leave me alone." "Don't leave!" "I wanna go home!" "I want ice", etc.

Nothing. am quite easygoing in this.

12. Thirst--is the person thirsty, not thirsty, what temperature drinks, what kind of drinks, does he only want sips, or gulps, does he drink a little bit frequently or a lot infrequently, and so on.

Drink about 2-3 lts of water in a day, but small sips as mentioned above.
13. Fever?
NO
14. Sweating?
Like hell. trickling down. sweat even in inter if the room is closed. But AC room doesnt make me sweat.
15. Odors? Are odors an issue, such as bad breath, foul odors of any sort?

Yes odor from underarms. Have been using baby shampoo as advised by Joe in an earlier post. Acute sense of small too.
16. What is most striking about the condition? What is most peculiar--for instance, person is cold but heat and covers aggravate; person has burning pains but is better for being covered and hot drinks like tea.
Cant really say anything here too.

Hope my answers are ok and lead to a remedy. Thanks Astra.

I am taking Uran Nit 3x every alt week only but will drop it now. The Colitis may start at any pretext, not only if i eat special food or anything. I am careful about my food intake though feel very hungry at times. My colitis is latent most of the time. The intestine on the right side is swollen up a bit and aches sometimes. Will take the antibio for 3 more days. It has already controlled my dysentry but would really try to avoid them as much as possible as they leave me feeling weak with numbness in my hands and legs... the tingling feeling...

CHIEF COMPLAINT:

1. What is your chief complaint (CC)? Tell as much about it as you can, including what is the worst part of it and why it's the worst: the sensations, the kind of pain, the location, how your energy has been affected (for example, has the complaint made you restless, weak, nervous, anxious, irritable, hypersensitive, effected your thirst and appetite, your body temperature, and so on).

My chief complaint is the Raynauds and Sweat. Because of the former my calves ache a lot and my feet get very sore and white if I am standing for a long time (1 hr or so) or walking for even 10 mins and burn a lot. When then off my feet they will go blood red and I can feel the blood rushing to them. They are also sore most of the time and it is very difficult walking. The sweat is very excessive, especially on a band on my forehead.. the portion which joins the scalp to the forehead, and also head and face. At times it trickles down and as I wear hearing aid, I am afraid that it may get wet.

2. When did this problem begin? What happened in your life around that time? What do you think caused it?

The Raynauds was diagnosed in 1992 by my homeopath. My rt forefinger is cold to touch and gets blue whenever the weather is cold. In 1992 only I was diagnosed of gland TB.. the glands were on my liver and were causing severe leg ulcers right down to the bone with the flesh exposed (its difficult to describe them) and I was given the anti TB allopathy medicines. Then I got a single ulcer on my rt big toe which would not dry and there was talk of amputating it. The surgeon cleaned it hard with something and I also took homeopathy which together helped heal my ulcer – it took 1 year.

3. What aggravates the CC and what brings it on?(for example, certain types of food or weather, movement, light, noise, company, talking, heat/cold, or anything else that you can think of; please be specific) and what makes the CC better (for example hot or cold, massage, eating, lying still, music, company...)? What does it make you do to try to feel better?

Nothings helps in the Raynauds. Cant bear to be covered at night but must wear socks if the weather is even a little cool. Walking aggravates the burning in soles. The sweat is aggravated in warm weather, but even in winter (the lowest temp. I’ve been in is around 8 degrees), I must have the windows open otherwise I’ll start sweating.

4. At what time of the day or night is the CC the worst? Specify an hour if you can.

No time as such.

5. What symptoms can you identify that accompany the CC (whether directly related or not; for example, headache with nausea; or menstrual cramps with diarrhea; a cold with irritability and anger)?

Have got menopause since the age of 40. The sonography revealed that my uterus had shrunk due to the Raynauds. No symptoms accompany both the complaints as such, though I am prone to acidity.

GENERAL QUESTIONS
6. Environment: With regard to the seasons, weather, outdoor temperature, indoor temperature, drafts, air quality, airconditioning, ocean air, mountain air, humidity, the sun/rain/thunderstorms/clouds/fog, etc.: what environmental factors give you comfort and relief, and which ones cause discomfort and distress? Try to give examples.

I prefer winter. Don’t feel cold if I am wearing socks, but hate the touch of wool on my skin. Like to be in cool open air, which is impossible in Calcutta. But in Bangalore, where I was living for 4 years and another small city where I lived for 9 months, liked to sit on the verandah. If it is warm undoubtedly prefer the coolness of an AC room.

7. What position is most uncomfortable for you?

I must keep on changing my position otherwise get very uncomfortable as the blood circulation becomes sluggish. No position is really uncomfortable.

8. a)Do you tend to be chilly or warm? Are there parts of your body that are colder or warmer than the rest of you? Is there a special time of day or night when they are colder or warmer? b) Do you perspire a great deal? If so, when? And where on the body? (feet, head, hair, chest, armpits, etc) Does it leave a stain of a particular color? Is there a particular odor?

My skin is cool and clammy to touch. I tend to feel very warm at the slightest change in temperature. My feet get very cold in cooler weather. No special time. And yes I sweat a great deal. Mainly on my forehead, head and face, but my underarms also sweat as does my back. My anterior portion is only burn scars which does not sweat at all. No stain to my sweat but it may stink of the sweat smell at times. Joe’s suggestion of using baby shampoo has helped in the odor.

9. Describe what your tongue looks like.

Tongue is white from the back and pink in front. Always is slimy due to mucous. Must eat mouth freshners after meals. Feel very thirsty, but only for small sips of water. Don’t like cold water which may give me a sore throat. Have had Pharyngitis many times with loss of voice. If I don’t drink water as and when needed will have bad breath.

Untruthfulness, hypocrisy. Don’t express it in any way, but my husband says my face is very expressive, so they may be coming to know about my feelings through my face. I believe in the live and let live policy.

21. What causes the most problems in your relationships?

Cant say. But my son is a perfectionist as far as the home cleanliness is concerned, and I am too easy going. This causes a lot of problems with him. Same with my husband, he will get angry if something thing is too messy otherwise all is ok. Also My husband is a firm believer in good behaviour and will not tolerate the smallest thing in this.

Astra replying to yr queries:
1. Both calves have an aching sort of pain all the time. Soles only get white and they burn when on my feet for a long time 2. Both ears. rt ear has no hearing as such. had a perforated eardrum since childhood which the doctors id not take care of. Left ear after the mycin medicines for my burns. My son was also born deaf due to this.
3. No ulcers since the one on my toe got cured. Hope no one gets such painful ulcers. They were worse when my feet hung own.
4. Yea have feeling. Its only very cool to touch most of the time. A good indicator of the weather.
5. Oh yes would love to eat them. I like fried things but avoid them.
6. My homeopath was very strict about diet. It was because of my ulcers I was forbidden to eat so many things . a torture for someone who loves to eat.
Nothing happened then or at any other time other than my TB being diagnosed.
I am taking the drugs mentioned above. Simcard for high triglycerides 2 times, Glynase for sugar - 2 times, Tenoric for BP once and Methylcobol ( i think it is Vit b12 only) twice for my sore feet. If i miss it even once, my feet go back to being very sore.

Hello Astra,
Yes the crumb in the throat is always there. I love all 3 types of food. No choice.
Had my triglycerides last checked 6 months ago. I dont do the blood checking myself as yet.
I really would like to stop all drugs .. it has been so long... 5 years to be exact. BP last tested 2 days back before taking the medicine and it came out normal.. 120/80.

About the mycin drugs i dont know if they are still available. It was Garamycin and Streptomycin which did me in 26 yrs ago.

All drugs I am not taking since 1999. I started them only in 2000 and the simcard in 2001. The BP and sugar medicines were changed in 2002.

Astra it was not an ointment but tablets which did the both of us in. Will try to get the flaxseeds soon. Yes can get the Sulphur in liquid form but have the pills with me. In calcutta we can get most of the homeopathy medicines. Am not taking Arnica 1M. Should i buy it in pills or liquid form. Trigly are normal in 150 range but mine are 280 range. They were up to 750 but came down with strict diet restrictions - NO FAT at al, but now have stopped it. yes my doctor is quite open in this. It was he who suggested Thuja to my husband for facial warts. my homeopath then gave the potency.
Wll be very happy if homeopathy can help my son who is 26 now to get his hearing back.
Just read on yr post at Astra 1. You did the diploma course for homeopathy. Can you help me where you did it and what it cost you.
