Point being, there are some things we just have no control over, when it comes to biological functions. I think the OP is making a bit too much of the sweat, and how it might be perceived in the work setting.

However, if you are going to make this big a deal of worrying about it, bring it out in the open, in a sort of mock self-deprecating way. Carry a hankie, pat your forehead and mutter, "ugh, I always get the sweats at these things, always been like this, so embarrassing!" and then carry on.

If someone comments, you can carry it a bit further "yeah the amount of laundry is crazy!" or whatever.

I agree with embracing it with a bit of humor. You could borrow a phrase from menopausal women. Announce your preparatory "power surge" or flash of genius, warn the other participants you're on a roll, and to fasten their seatbelts!

I've always like the workplace acronym BFO, but be careful...it can have two meanings:

Blinding Flash of the Obvious

or

Brief Flicker of the Obscure

Thanks! I was only in my mid-30s which was both good and bad. Good because I got over it without too much trouble. Bad because I got to go through the same thing all over again 20 years later "for real". Fun times. The unplanned rehearsal didn't make it any easier.
