Morning Mickey, welcome
Am also working with the happy combination of fibromyalgia and menopause, both of which have their own difficulties.
Is the excessive sweating hormonal do you think like hot flushes? I never had these too bad, but did go through a few weeks where so felt I was leaking, sweating so badly. It ceased so I am putting this down to even more odd hormonal fluctuations.
Are you on any hrt? Doesn't work for everyone but can be of enormous benefit.
Also some drugs have a side effect of sweating too. Confusing sometimes I know. Nice to have you here, hope you Will find advice and support

Hi @Mickey
Thinking back, maybe yes? I put it down to the excessive 'plastics' in clothing, cotton wicks moisture away, but , in Australia anyway, it is increasingly hard to find cotton clothing, and the ratio of plastic to cotton has changed to mostly plastic rather than mostly cotton.
quote from a search : "The main issue regarding synthetic fabrics, such as polyester, is that they don’t breathe. Some find, when wearing it, that they can feel sweaty or have a feeling of humidity, which can be uncomfortable"
I started finding in the 80's, and although I love the cotton/poly blend, when the ratios started changing, the heavier plastic content makes me wet on the skin, but the fabric is actually dry to the touch on the outside.
How much may be fibro related, I have no idea at all.
Might be worth checking the fabric against your skin. It's only a thought, that's all
Fibro and meno, I've no idea, but I still dress in layers, to try and balance temperature. I've been a bit that way my whole life, but moreso when and since meno started kicking in.
Pretty random sorts of comments, hope something helps

I am a sweater. While in menopause Black Cohash helped me immensely. Anything will trigger me to sweat. I have multiple fans in different patterns and colors to coordinate somewhat with outfits. The fan looks a much nicer than kleenex from the bottom of my purse.
