very excessive sweating

Guest · Guest

hey I am 14 and I have the same problem and it bothers me sometimes I come home and cry. But there is nothing I can do about it. I just got this one new book, about sweating and I just started it. I will get back to you all if it works, I hope it does wish me luck.

I have the same problem and my doctor, both my M.D. and gyno cant find a cure. They say its due to early menopause but this is embarrassing situation. I sweat from head to toe. Sometimes once a day, sometimes all day and all night. I take showers daily, shave my legs and underarms and use deodorant and NOTHING works. I am always SOAKED! Thank god I live close from home to work because at lunch I got home everyday and have to change my clothes. My underwear and bra are dripping wet. Its GROSS! Its nasty and I feel so embarrassed. I get wet from head to toe. My hair, my breasts, my underwear and my feet and I smell. Its socially unacceptable and wonder if my co-workers talk about me behind my back. I dont know what to do. The doc's tried having me take Premarin 0.825 then doubled the dose to 1.25 and still nothing. I have the A/C on in my car, my house and in my office. I freeze my family and my co-workers. What is weird is my legs and arms will get goose bumbs from being so cold but the entire rest of my body drips in sweat. Any ideas?

I have the EXACT same problem as the above poster, I'm 40 and the doc says its early menopause and has taken bloods to be tested, its awful, it literally IS head to toe sweating and very very embarrassing if it happens when you are out in public, trying to get a good nights sleep is impossible too, primrose oils and products are supposed to relieve symptoms to an extent although I haven't as yet tried this, I've tried lighter bedding etc but nothing works, once the sweats start you just have to ride them out, any info that helps would be greatly appreciated.

hey guys and girls..iv had the very same problem since i was 14.it makes u very self-conscious and ur confidence just goes way down, especially if u'r a girl and cant wear certain fashionable clothing coz u'r worried u'r gonna leave a horrible sweat stain that everyone will notice. luckily earlier this year i stumbled upon this product called odaban. its an antiperspirant that u apply right before going to bed. it works and i suggest u try it.u can search and order it online.GOODLUCK!!

Wow I didnt realize so many people had the same problem as me. I feel slightly better. but yeah I just turned 17 and I started around 11 or 12, with the sweatiness. It first started with really sweaty armpits, then my feet, and then my hands. Now i have it REAlly bad, my whole body seems to sweat more now. Its so freakin annoying. Ive gone to the doctor and asked my gyno and niether know exactly what is wrong with me. So i did some research and I believe i have hyperhidrosis. Ive tried alot of things and read about more and im still not convinced any of it will work. It sucks, because i realized that it has a huge affect on my social life. So people who are just now getting it dont let it affect you. I know it is hard but im realizing that i cant fix this problem of mine, so screw it. I start karate now and thats a really physical contact training. I feel sorry for those i touch, but i have to deal with it all day every day, i think they can deal with it for an hour. but yeah i know how you all feel, it sucks. And honestly life will never be normal for us, but if anyone really knows any thing that works. I am willing to try it. so good luck to every one, i really hope they find a real cure for this. and thanks to all who is talking about this.

Hi Debbie,

I just read your reply bout the primose oils. I am definately going to research that. Good Idea! I am the lady who wrote the 1st letter about the sweating that your responded too.

Im your age, 42. I still the same problem, hasnt stopped but someone told me today, a friend that I should try proxcide ( ? ). She said that the odor will help the underamrs for a temporary solution. That the odor is from bacteria and that proxcide will kill the smell.

So that's all I know. Thought I would share.

I have the same problem as everybody else. The only difference is that it didn't start happening until i was 17. (Might be because i didnt go through puberty till later than everyone). I am 18(almost 19) right and it still hasn't gone away. For me it is off and on, and i noticed that i get more sweat when i am concentrating, nervous, or just talking to someone. When i am by myself doing nothing, there is very little armpit sweat. I always thought that i was sweating because i felt uncomfortable and nervous when talking to people (social anxiety). Right now I'm not sure if this is something that i can prevent from just relaxing, becoming more comfortable, or maybe even do some meditation or yoga... or if its something that needs to be treated. This problem affects my life so much because i would rather sit inside and do nothing than go outside and have someone see my huge disgusting pits of sweat. Its good to know that it is a pretty common problem and i am not the only one with it. I wish everyone the best of luck that their swamp pits get cured.

my sister used to suffer from this, and in her case we found it was hormones and settled down over time.

Obviously good hygiene and regular deodrant application is necesay (i'd recommend a cream one- like dove - it jus seemed to work for me)

Another temporary cure to this is to have botox injected into your sweta glands. HOwever this is expensive and not advisable for young people. If you're desperate though it really can change your life
