Dear teandtoast. Thanks for your remarkably sharp analysis of my situation. You´ve clearly read the bulk of my insignificant posts and understand the scope of it to the core, at a much higher level than me, in spite of your only 4 years of experience with excessive sweating. I´m very grateful that you have taken your grace to step down to my level, exposing my pitiful superficial person.
I skimmed the surface of the ocean of your own extensive and most impressing resources here at Social Phobia World, to get a hint of what might be the origin of your vast human insight and wit. But I´m foundering at whether it may be, that you´re still living with your mother in between your week-end drinking binges, or the fact that you don´t eat anything throughout the day, which has caused your unique intellect to arise. Sir, I am in awe at the powers of your observation. Are you 20-33 % over, or are you in the distinctly obese category though ? Do you have your type 2 diabecy diagnosed yet? The descriptions of your life style in mind, merely a question of time I should think.
Don´t even consider ETS if you want to hear my point of view. I tried it, when I was as desperate as you. I had no good experience with sleek surgeons passing time away from the country club. And sweet, desolate Ralphy, may you regain the lust for life soon. If from the murky pit of your navel, you could look beyond the ranges in the horizon but for a moment only, you might read my first post in this string again, and see that I was making an innocent general point, rather than commenting on your specific case. Unlike someone else in here, you might also do me the favour of taking your own excellent advice, rather than steep in malicious choice of words.
There is certainly hope. I believe there could be a solution in reviewing and recombining diet. Atleast I found that some of my own uncontrollable sweating is connected to my choice of foods. E.g. even the mildest chili can make me sweat uncontrollably, and certain fruits e.g. apples can also provoke sweat on my forehead, although they don´t always, so it may be down to which species of apples I eat. Painstaking registry of what you eat, studying food declarations and learning about nutrition could be a way ahead. I´m not trying to diagnose anybody, and I´m not making this comment with any specific focus on your situation though, so relax ok? Cheer up, spring is coming.
Bill-uk, thanks for your post about things you don´t recall, but which you nevertheless seem to think have a bearing on this string. If you want to have an understanding of what is it you´re writing about, you can find all the original posts from ESFB channel posted in this forum, including the posts ED at ESFB deleted to cover up for themselves. I don´t intend to discuss those posts with you or anyone else though. I made the information available for people in this forum to make their own assessment of ESFB channel.
