    Yes, and for me this is possibly the worst part of PD. I have young onset (I’m now 55), but my mom also has PD and my biological father had it prior to his death a few years ago. He was exposed to agent orange and it’s possible he passed it to me and my mom (I have four older sisters who are healthy, but I was either a newborn or not yet born). My ANS causes severe overheating. I travel with handheld fans, extra clothes, and a towel, plus antiperspirant, everywhere I go. Including across town to visit my kids. My BP is crazy high then low. I sweat horribly. I’m in almost constant pain. I hate it and would rather deal with my tremors than this. Haven’t found anything that helps so far. I’m sorry for you to also have to deal with this!
