All over sweating

Post by Mac4069 »

Hey everyone, my name is Melissa, I am 32, and a decent looking woman. I have had problems sweating all of my life, however, it has recently started affecting my whole life. I am now afraid to go out with friends, even when I know I will have a great time, because i never know when I will start getting sweaty. It will start on my face, then creep down to my underarms and back, then my arms and legs will get sweaty.
The last date I went on I started sweating and couldn't stop. within 20 minutes it was trickling down my face and was impossible not to notice. When he mentioned it I made up a story about being sick and left. I haven't been on a date since.
I have had blood tests done to check my thyroid, and have spoke with hyperhydrosis specialists. everything comes back normal, and the specialists couldn't help me as they only dealt with localized HH. I was finally thrown a rope with Robinul, and it does help, but not all the time.
I want to be able to live my life, I can't seem to just accept my sweating and live anyway, especially when it comes to dating.

Does anyone have any advise? How to deal/treat this general HH? What kind of specialist may be able to help me? Or even just some support in knowing I am not alone.

Hey "decent looking woman", no man I know cares about sweat or lack of sweat on a woman. Unless you have a smell problem, I doubt anyone will care, although it is hard to stop feeling subconscious about it I am sure.

Have you tried pro-banthine? Check out that part of the forum for several positive testimonials. I think it might even be better than Robinul but have never tired it myself since my sweating is only on the feet.

Well I know men who are bothered by sweating women, so I feel your pain! Why does the product only work sometimes but not others? Have you ever tried a product called AHC sensitive? That's the one I use now & it keeps me pretty much dry for most of the day ( i sweat only from my armpits). I do know they do other products from the same range for hands & feet. Really hope this helps you out! http://www.scrubsuk.com/hyperhidrosis/a ... sic-1.html
Good luck :)
