Why haven't I see this before!? Since the age of about 15 I started sweating more and more. Even just sitting down on a bus in winter. Seen several doctors who just advise to "work out more" and "eat healthy" etc. Well, I DO work out, a LOT, and my diet is very healthy. This is life changing.

my hyperhydrosis is so bad that if I get even a little hot I start sweating profusely

I wish I'd seen this sooner. I'm 40 years old. And I've suffered since grade school. This medicine CHANGED MY LIFE!

I was prescribed glycopyrrolate. It helps a lot. The side effects of dry mouth and dry eyes suck but I'll take it over getting embarrassed. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing. I sweat head to toe without it

I'm sweating right now, sitting at home relaxing

Hyperhidrosis will ruin your life in every aspect. It's not the sweat it's the body odor that people worry about. Robinal forte works but will destroy your mouth teeth gums, with time. Also you will lose cartilage liquids in your joints. Because it drys up your insides. Stops your vowel movements. Don't expect other people to understand it. Especially family members. What a miserable condition to have. I had it since 7th grade. Hands, feet, arm pits even groin sweat. It's f in horrible! Depression, suicidal thoughts, social anxiety. You name it, it will ruin your happiness! Trust me I know. Unfortunately there is no miracle cure. Good luck to all of us that suffer from this miserable condition.

Calling excessive sweating “socially unacceptable” Is irresponsible

In 2011 when I was 11 years old I got sick with chronic pancreatitis. I was starved for a week at a time every month that I was sick, and the more that I got sick, the more damaged my pancreas got. And for some reason my doctors never explained that a damaged pancreas can affect how my pancreas absorbed vitamins and nutrients. So I ended up being malnourished by the time I was in 9th grade, then my sweating got really bad. It was really just on my face and back in HS, now im 24 and my hyperhidrosis is all over my body. My face, back, hands, feet, legs, neck, and chest. I step outside in the summer and start sweating, and when its humid I cannot stop sweating. To the point where I feel like I need to just go inside and shower and never go back outside. Really is a social life killer, used to be really out going and always busy, now the summer comes and I want to be outside but I just disappear.

My hyperhidrosis started at age 4 as it was after having Horse Fever which drove my fever past what a home thermometer could measure. And my father was Christian Science so my mother took me to the doctor if they could afford it and we were poor.

The high fever caused damage to the hypothalamus and I found the Plant-Based diet, it has done more to help than any medication or cream as my hyperhidrosis was from my armpits down to my feet, my but sweat and my feet and all of it profusely. It would look like I had peed my pants.

Humiliating. I found out that I am horribly allergic to all dairy and that helped a lot. Found this out 12 years ago, but there were other foods which triggered the condition. I am not Whole Food Plant-Based as it is the kindest diet for my body. Believe me with however bad the condition was, it got even worse during menopause with hot flashes and massive sweats now of my head.

The diet freed me. I’ve talked myself out of suicide many times. Fortunately I have a very understanding husband and he has mild hyperhidrosis, so he could not feel my hands were sweating as his always were. But we have had 3 sons who did not inherit the kind of sweating we have had. My husband’s condition is not to the point of being grossly abnormal as mine was.

The Standard American Diet has many triggered for my condition. The longer I am on it, the better I feel.

I have a SEVERE SWEATING disorder. I sweat from head to toe even in the winter. My clothes are always wet!! I drip sweat from all body parts. I can even feel my sweat glands open up and gush sweat!! It's disgusting and embarrassing! If I go to a restaurant and sit on leather seats with shorts on, I leave PUDDLES of sweat on the chair when I stand up. Doctors can't help me. I'm taking oxybutynin but it's like eating candy, doesn't help. Can you suggest a bath soap to soak up the sweat?

Sweaty hands are the worst. A world where you struggle to shake people's hands -whether it's for an interview, introducing yourself, or a a simple high-five. Struggling to open simple things because your hands have zero grip from being so drenched. Having to wipe your hands every second as you write, type, drive, or hold anything. Imagine developing different types of mental health problems because of the burden that your wet hands bring. Take into consideration that all these misfortunes are JUST from the hands alone. Think about what sweating from top to bottom would do to a person. I do not wish this curse upon anyone... even my worst enemies!

[wilsonpabon]

I use both the wipes and the pills and it’s a game changer!

[Chief]

Mine is so severe it does not matter if im nervous because every morning i wake up and the end of my bed is wet from where my feet were and i have several videos in my camera roll where my hands will have sweat literally dripping off them while i am not nervous or stressed at all just sitting by myself its been like this as long as i can remember and im 19 years old.

[childofthemighty]

So it is not only me sweeting too much

[yvonneroby]

No one talks about groin hyperhydrosis, literally they call it ORS or mental disorder. Very disheartening!

[Ramz]

Why can't these TV hosts shut up and let the guests speak uninterrupted? I totally missed what the Doctor said after wiping. the sweat away.

[Aerox]

I have this is it is CRIPPLING! I'm isolating myself because as soon as I walk for longer than 3 minutes my shirt gets so drenched that I can wring it out like a dishcloth 😩

I'm thinking about quitting my job because I just can't stand the embarrassment. I work with people with disabilities and some days it is on the schedule that we will go down to a restaurant for lunch. But I really don't want to arrive at the fancy restaurant and sit down completely drenched in sweat among the other visitors 😮‍💨 I feel ashamed. I love my job, but I HATE the days we need to walk long distances.
