excessive sweating and dating?
Posted: Sat Mar 10, 2012 4:44 pm
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.
