I don't have a bladder problem. i've been a quad for 33 years and my bones are similar to chalk but the nerves feel obligated to send pain signals to my spine where it biuilds up untill it is feeding the excess impulses into the autonomic nervous system where it interupts with the autonomic system causing my organs and glandular system to freak out. Any thing you can imagine having done without thinking of doing it, you can still do because the autonomic system controls it. those moments when you feel fright or fear and theres no reason. AD just sent a signal that released a hormone from a gland that no longer gets impulses from your brain. The upper part of your spine seems to get the electro chemical signal to you sympathetic, or Autonomic nervous system in some manor that has only been recently understood. This excess signal from pain that was on its way to the brain to say ouch is now flooding your Autonomic system as and causing spasms, mood swings, profuse sweating, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, dry mouth, convulsions,m etc A painful UTI will cause the sweating as you said. I Think we can sweat from any pain caused from low back fractures. or even a broken toe. Lyrica and neurontin and cymbalta are designed to interupt communication between the central nervous system and the Autonomic nervous system. I'm not dissin your theory. I'm just saying that I broke so many bones and did so much internal damage along with breaking my neck that figuring out whats causing it has taken back seat to stoping it. i'm argueing with a doctor now about a high diabetes test. It was done while was in pain and when I stopped thge pain my sugar level returned to normal when I took the Lyrica. I've checked it with my new meter and its normal. The office test showed 470. Out of pain its 85-92. It isn't on any definition of AD. He isnt that sure of my insistance in the hormone release can cause a pancreatic malfuntion. I'm curious about anyone else testing sugar while in pain? It causes everything else to malfunction. I got a free glucose meter now.

I too have had this problem and ran a bunch of test. The doctors where pretty stumped. I think that I have finally figured out that it's a UTI problem. When we sit up it puts more pressure on the bladder which irritates the bladder when it's already upset from the UTI. It causes pain and then we sweat. I take a daily antibiotic for urine and have no more sweating. I may be wrong but it has helped me. Good luck and great health, Donald C5
