Flushing, Sweating, Heat Intolerance?

I'm just wondering, has anyone out there been diagnosed with any allergies that caused generalized excessive sweating, feeling hot all the time, and flushing? Not a feeling that comes on episodically, but a feeling that's there all the time, at least with minimal exertion.

I've been tested for all the obvious possibilities and have come out negative for all of them (neurological, neuroendocrine, thyroid, etc.). Seeing an allergist/immunologist is a desperate last chance for me. I was just wondering if there's any kind of allergy like this out there. I haven't heard of one.

Hi,
Have you tried 8 hr. extended release Tylenol?  It helps me cut down on the sweating a bit when I'm developing, or have sinusitis.  My internist says that a"low grade" infection that hasn't shown up on a regular thermometer can cause this-
My allergist, who is the "specialist" totally disagreed!.  I trust/believe my internist, who is the Chief of Staff at the biggest hospital in our city.
What we don't know is: HOW TO MAKE IT STOP. lol
I've started allergy shots-- if these don't help, I may try to find a more advanced allergy testing center.
Still looking for the poster who mentioned "J's nose drops" as he cited another product that helped him with chronic sinusitis.

Double check diagnosis on the panic attacks- they don't last for hours, respond some to Tylenol & antibiotics.  From the posts I've seen about this & what the docs have said these "sweats" may be a symptom of a "panic" attack- or may cause one due to the humiliation.
Keep a journal to bring to your doctors & maybe nutritionist/herbalist/holistic medicine doctor.  Keep track of the length of time this occurred, how many days it goes on & importantly- any other symptoms.
These are so disturbing when you get them- men & women both.  It's embarassing. I quit going out when I was wet, which got to be many days-It was debilitating, annoying & I couldn't go into an air conditioned building, grocery store without getting chills.  People with hot flashes want to take layers off & get in a freezer....Older women who had experienced true "hot flashes" assured me that I looked ill-  not hormonal.
Thank you to all-  I found 2 things to try, but I'm having trouble finding the other product, where it was posted.  Can't track the posts as well from an android as here (on pc)

Thank you, I'll look into it (I just don't get how an a doctor who Specializes in Allergies would not understand/here about/know about this phenomenon- because since my post I have seen MANY others with the same problem...men and women of various ages, so nope- not hot flashes if you're about to say that,  lol.  I also saw something posted called "J's nose drops"- the testimonials on this were amazing...people who had failed antibiotics over & again. I'm planning to order some. This is a great venue for help.

Yes, you can have a severe allergy to ANYTHING, especially things with strong chemicals, odors or additives and synthetic compounds that you would no idea what was in.  Try homeopathic, more natural soaps, they are made to work with the natural chemicals of our body- or moisturizing body wash.  They're far less concentrated, easier on the skin & do just as good of a job.

Yes, but the type I have experienced actually decrease significantly & sometimes disappear by taking Tylenol and/or antibiotics---and are accompanied by a bad taste, post nasal drip & facial swelling.
