MemberI have dysautonomia, a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, and temperature control and sweating are part of the autonomic system. After I was diagnosed with Myasthenia I started looking at the research to see if there was a connection. Older research says absolutely not but newer research is discovering a correlation and definitely sees a link. Other symptoms are blood pressure dropping, especially when going from sitting to standing, heart rate increases or decreases, gastrointestinal problems, such as gastroparesis, sweating too much or not at all, fatigue, short of breath. So this could be why we have heat intolerances….
