Members responded to a question about profuse sweating with PBC, with many sharing that they too experience excessive sweating, sometimes described as being drenched after showers or any physical activity, while others noted they do not have this issue or experience the opposite problem of feeling excessively cold. Several members offered practical insights, including that autoimmune conditions can lead to hyperhidrosis and heat intolerance, that the medication Ursodiol may rarely cause sweating, and that hormonal changes could also be a factor, with the consistent advice being to discuss these symptoms with a doctor. A recurring theme was the varied nature of PBC symptoms across individuals, the importance of medical guidance to rule out other causes, and the comfort found in knowing others share similar struggles with temperature regulation and sweating.
