Hyperhidrosis Forum

Is there anything available that will stop abnormal sweating or atleast cut it down to normal? I suffer severely from sweating. I sweat everywhere. Mostly my armpits and hands but even my feet, face, neck, arms, legs, butt, chest and basically everywhere on any given day. I have tried several clinical strength deodorants and nothing seems to work or even cut down on the sweating. I don't know what to do!!! I even went to a botox clinic and they couldn't help me because they said in order to help me they would have to give me an extremely lethal dosage and it would probably kill me. So much for that idea.. I have been checked out for overactive thyroid and have had blood work done and results came back fine also. It is extremely embarrassing and I have never met anyone else with this problem and I do not know what to do and I am tired of spending money between doctor visits and products that do not work.. I suffer from deppression and bad anxiety because of this problem I have also. It is horrible!!!! Someone, anyone, please advise me of something that actually helps and works!?!????

I really hope you've found out a solution by now. In case you didn't I have some guidelines that will probably help you reduce the amount you sweat.

The number one thing that helped me was to clean up my diet and drink lots of water. Simply reduce your junk food intake and all the food products that are highly refined and have lots of sugar in it.

Wear baggy clothes made out of natural, breathable, and slightly baggy fabrics such as linen, bamboo, cotton, lightweight wools, etc.

Stress is also a major culprit for the excessive sweating you're having trouble with. Try picking up some yoga or meditation classes.

Just my two cents. I hope it helps out.

Hey dude, i dont really like to recommend drugs to anyone, but i used to have hyperhydrosis and found that smoking weed completely stopped my sweating. Obviously you cant be stoned all the time, nobody can live like that, but if you are going somewhere where you really dont want to be sweating, try smoking a joint! I guarantee it will help you.

first off...i do not recomend using drugs to cure this problem...i have descovered over the past years that i to have hyperhidrosis in my hands and feet...and i will be the first to agree that it does suck to have...you always feel uncomfortable and awkward....i have talked to my docter several times and she has refered me to a specialist who deals with these problems...i have gladly found out that there is surgery for hyperhidrosis where the make small incisions in ur arm pits and by the bra line on your chest...and then they go in and clip the nerve...this is the cure for the sweating in ur hands and he said that there is nothing to do for ur feet...u just have to hope that by clipping the nerve the feet will just follow what ur hands do and stop sweating...i sugest that u talk to ur doctor agian and ask to be refered to a specialist.
