If it is lupus induced, suggests a mass release of histamine by masts cells. Can stop that reaction by taking antihistamines. I use OTC 12-hour Loratidine and 12-hour Ceterizine twice daily as both a break-out regimen as well as daily for a preventive measure. This cuts down about 1/2 of sweats. Remainder comes from hormonal dis-regulation.

Yes I get the heat as well. I believe it’s our body going through inflammation

I have been through menopause, too. I get incredible waves of sweating. To the point where I look like my hair and shirt have been saturated with water. On hormone therapy, which is helping a little. It’s incredibly embarrassing. It seems I can no longer regulate my body temperature.

I hope you can get answers! If this Dr doesn’t know go find one that does! She will help you if she cares & does her job like she should💜😘🙏🏼
