Excessive body heat

I am constantly overheated.  My body temperature is always normal but I seem to "throw off" my body heat all day long.  Even at night with the air conditioning on I am constantly throwing the covers off, my husband uses me to warm the bed up in the cold months, it only takes me about 10 minutes to totally warm up a king size bed.  I am sitting here at work doing nothing but typing on the computer and I am overheated.  Is this possibly a medical condition of some kind.  It is driving me nuts!

I have had the problem of excessive body heat and excessive sweating as long as I can remember (I am now 56).  I can be sitting in my office, air conditioning on, and all of sudden start dripping sweat that actually will land on the papers I am working on.  It appears to have no relation to the temperature - although it is always accompanied by the body heat.  I'm not sure which is the cause and which is the effect!   My excessive sweating is not under the arms, or feet or hands.  Instead it seems localized above the neck, which I found is called "cranio facial hyperhidrosis".    I did my own research to find this, and I also found that many doctors are unaware of this condition and/ro its debilitating effects, and want to shrug it off as "we all do that sometimes" or "it;s just menopause" despite the fact that I've had if for the last 4 decades.  Looking back, I know my mother suffered from it also, although she passed away some time ago.,  It has been a lifelong disability - preventing me from participating in any sports - even in high school,  or going anyplace you walk around outside when it's hot.  Actually, it doesn't even have to be hot.  Inside stores - even with a/c - I always seem to get hot within a few moment (it's like it comes on when it's stuffy).    I can't remember the last time I bought anything with long sleeves and was able to wear it for any length of time.  I layer everything.  I cannot wear sweaters, coats - it's just totally debilitating.  I am currently trying to pursue some kind of treatment for the hyperhidrosis (which may actually be a side effect of the excessive body heat, for which I have no diagnosis) from my doctors, but I find I am educating them, rather than the reverse.  If anyone knows what this is called - or any treatment for either the excessive body heat or excessive facial and head sweating - please share - ...
