Hi guys and gals,
just found this forum and thought I'd share my experiences with you.
I realised I had a problem 30 years ago, when aged 15 and pretty fit, I would still sweat profusely on my face and upper body when doing anything physical or doing nothing at all in hot conditions. These days, I can be doing something as simple as putting a screw in the wall, putting together a piece of furniture, washing the car, eating out or just standing in the London underground and the sweat will drip off my face when others around me will be dry. I forget the number of times people have asked me if I was OK, I recognise this now as HH but it's still a burden to bear and like others, I have avoided many situations in the past where this might occur.
Last year I discovered Probanthine, similar to Robinul I believe, a drug that dries you up and is effective for me. One or two tablets taken half an hour before the desired time seems to sort me out, best taken on an empty stomach. It's effect lasts about 3-4 hours and has side effects of dry mouth and sometimes minor compensatory sweating on my legs which isn't a problem at all.
I only use this in work related or social conditions when I want to remain 'in control'. In other circumstances I remain hot and sweaty and have come to terms with it.
HH remains the bain of my life and I wonder why I have it and wonder why I sweat in temperatures of just 10C when doing very little phyical work.
However, Probanthine has enabled me to get through the most difficult of cirumstances and makes me optimistic about the future.
I hope this is of help to others in similar circumstances.
