Diaphoresis, anyone?

Two medications I take - Pyridostigmine and Levothyroxine - are known to have excessive sweating as side effects. This has been getting out of hand - sometimes when it's hot and I'm even just walking I will sweat entirely through my shirt, underwear, and pants! It really makes it very difficult to maintain an active lifestyle. The excess sweating, along with associated increase in urinary urgency has made my usual weekly activities (bike-riding, pickleball, reffing soccer) extremely difficult to do without embarrassment. I've asked both my PCP and neurologist about it, but haven't gotten any real feedback yet (the neurologist just sort of threw up her hands and changed the subject...)

Anyway, I was wondering if anybody else had experienced anything similar or if this is just my own private hell? 😉
