It’s not often that the muscles of the body are referred to in terms of pain except when the topic of exercise comes up.

Fibromyalgia, however, causes pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It is accompanied by extensive fatigue, un-refreshing sleep, and a complete loss of energy.

The muscles feel like they have been dragged or worked too hard, with twitches and a feeling of burning.

What Is Hyperhidrosis?

Most of us have faced situations where our palms and armpits have become damp with sweat due to nervousness or worry.

Imagine, however, if this were a chronic condition and you sweated excessively in some particular parts of your body beyond what is normal for the human body.

Normally, people sweat to keep the temperature of the body steady at a normal level during exercise or when they have fever or in hot weather.

People suffering from hyperhidrosis, however, sweat more than normal even when they are not exercising or are healthy or the weather is not hot. This kind of excessive sweating can be either focal or generalized sweating. Continue reading “What Is Hyperhidrosis?”
