Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose unexplained sweating during the day, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "unexplained sweating during the day" as a symptom. Here are eight of many possibilities (more below):

Stress
High Histamine
Hyperthyroidism
Kidney Disease
Chronic Fatigue-Fibromyalgia
Lymphatic Congestion
High Female Testosterone
Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

lighter/paler skin color

long work hours

being a "night person"

abnormal taste in mouth

moderate alcohol consumption

multiple painful inguinal nodes

history of adult allergies

one to five tender points

slender fingers and toes

dizziness when standing up

joint pain/swelling/stiffness

history of CFS diagnosis

... and more than 160 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of unexplained sweating during the day:

Cause	Probability	Status
Chronic Fatigue-Fibromyalgia	94%	Confirm
Guillain-Barre Syndrome	24%	Unlikely
High Histamine	24%	Unlikely
Kidney Disease	1%	Ruled out
Hyperthyroidism	1%	Ruled out
High Female Testosterone	1%	Ruled out
Stress	1%	Ruled out
Lymphatic Congestion	0%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

In the Metabolic Symptoms section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about unexplained daytime sweating:

Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Estrogens Low

Guillain-Barre Syndrome

High Female Testosterone Level

Histadelia (Histamine High)
