Hi, haven't been on this forum for quite a while. My mum (76) is in a care home and has been for the past 1.5 years. Doesn't recognise me, or her sister and has no memory of her life at all. Recently she's become very unsettled and won't sit. She's up walking all the time with her zimmer frame for balance. Even if she doesn't walk far she sweats buckets. The sweat is running down her face, hair and body soaking . Anyone else had this happen??

Hi Shark2,
Not sure if it's the same but when my mum started sweating a lot the doctor did a blood test and found her thyroid was playing up. She tried different doses of thyroxine until the right balance was reached and mum stopped sweating.
Hope all goes well for you and your mum x
