Hi dudes , i am getting really confused everyday about my HH .Im 17 years old and ill make my long story short.Scroll down the post till you find the " ===== " if u dont want to read my story :)

It started when i was 13teen , last year i went in he US for the summer , and i did some research on strong antiperspirants.So i got myslef CertainDri and OldSpice Pro Strenght and baby powder cuz i heard thats good.So i took them in the middle of my vacation , cuz i was starting to get pissed off by the marks of my underarms.Iwatched a video on youtube about stacking antiperpsirants so thats what i did.I trimmed the hair under my arms so it could be more easily, Put CertainDri, after 10 mins , put OldSpice,after 30min put baby powder and go to bed.In the morning i just put again Prostrenght and baby powder and went to the library at a really hot day !. I just imagined how embarassing this was going to be! Yes i did sweat , but it wasnt as much as before.I felt kinda reliefed. After 3 days the sweating stopped.I was never happier in my life.Wearing everykind of shirts i wanted! IT was great feeling.

On the plane bak home i thought that i finally got my HH under control , and the moment i stepped on homeland i just started dripping.I told is cuz of the exitement, but it wasnt . The next day i was going to school and i did the same routine wih no success at all. :( I just told myself i got to live with it."Big deal!"

I started researching again.This time for natural remedies.They seemed to helped only for the odor and not so much for the sweat.I liked it though.I found that people don't mind the sweat if it donts smells.They never told me "Dude , your pits smell !" or something like that, they never told me "Dude why are you have marks under your arm ?".

I have used the Mike Ramsey book.It false and homosexual (fake and gay :D).But i didnt payed a cent for it , so it was no big deal.The book worked for the first 3 days and after that i sweated like crap.


============================================

The thing is that i sweat ONLY AT SCHOOL and its like the first 10-20 mins.Then it stoppes.I dont feel sweating.Just the sweatmarks feel uncomfortable but i cannot change my shirt.Thats why i go with shirts from polyester material.IT evaporates faster and doesnt sholl marks.
At home , with friends , at the cinema - i dont sweat! I cant even explain it ! I Think its all in my head.I have a question for u dudes.Is meditaion and yoga going to help ? Im thinking even for putting myself on a healthy diet too.I go workout almost everyday and im sure its not my weight the problem.Thinking of getting some drugs like Valerian so i can be more relaxed at situation.

I really think its all in my head and i can defeat it.

(sorry for the mistakes.Im kind in a hurry :))

Hmmm, that does sound weird. Are you sure you have HH? It might also be some other condition with similar symptoms. I would consult a doctor if possible. Good luck.

You might have some anxiety which is causing the sweating imo. I totally understand where your coming from though, i used to go to school every morning sweating from my hands and feet and tried everything and anything. I tried using some powders but it made people sneeze which made me more anxiety prone :/!

My problem is usually hands and feet, but when people start smelling my feet i start to get anxiety symptoms which start to make my armpits sweat too!! Have you tried using hand wipes or absorbing papers for your armpits? Maybe place them in your pits during the morning for the first 20-30 minutes of sweating then throw em out james bond style :). Might help.

Im not shure .. ok here is my last situation. I wen to a birthday party and the meeting was really close to my house , i took a shower , put some deo spray and put on a polyester tshirt . It was snowing so i got myself the jacket too. When i arrived there - 10 mins later i feld my armpits sweat really really little drops, but my butt was sweaty(not sweaty to show marks though), and after 20-30 mins the sweating was gone ! I felt it , i stopped to sweat.My armpits dryed really fast because of the polyester tshirt and my butt dryed too.For the next 5 hours i was completely dry.

I tink is either i felt more comfortable because of the alcohol and after that maybe the weed or the fact that when the body prepares for sleep the sweat pores turn off . And there is one more option , i drunk a tea witch was for relaxing the nervous system.It rather made me sleepy (=.

I have tried already the Valeriana pills , im not really sure they worked though , the same day at school i was sweating , but after that me and my pals went to downtown for 4-5 hours and the sweating was gone again ... Really , really confused. I always feel anxious in places when i enter.No matter where it is , i need some time to relax and i think thats whats causing my prespiration. At the gym i almost dont sweat 0.o ..

Going to start after 2-3 weeks yoga and meditaion , tell me dudes , does someone have the same problem?

If you only sweat at school or only in social situations, then you don't really have HH. Yours just seems to be triggered by anxiety, and you can get rid of that.

hey guys there are some things that happened to me recently.After my last post i went to the pharmacy and got myself sage tea and started fruit diet.And there are some major changes in my sweating.

I started it at Monday and by Thursday my sweating has stopped completely at my butt , feet and back. I notice 95% reduce in the palms and completely dry face all the time.My underarms still sweat though.50-60% reduce at some social situations and 90% at others.The odor is my biggest success! No bad odor at all. My sweat smells nice.

This is just the 4rth day and im pretty excited.Did some research and found that the sage tea threatment needs 2-3 weeks and constant drinking... same with the fruit diet. Planning to loose 5-6 kilos in the upcoming months with the diet.

Can you guys share other natural threatments and maybe a example of a healthy diet ? :)

It sounds like you might be in the early stages of developing HH. I would get checked out by a doctor to rule out anything else though-hopefully it could be something cureable.
Remember not everyone has HH from birth, I developed it gradually starting from around 11 years old. It would only happen in odd occassions but like you, when I was with friends, at home I was fine. I remember sometimes when it was hot id hand in work at school all smudged from my sweaty hands! I didnt know it was abnormal untill later in life really, then the psycological part comes in, where you get to a certain age and you worry about what other people think of you..thats when the cycle of my sweating making me feel nervous=sweating more started. I would say if you do have HH, to try iontophresis or one of the many drugs you doctor might suggest to you. Try not to worry too much and get into a negative cycle where you get paranoid about your sweating..it will make it worse. This website proves its alot more common than you think and if you can try to gain some controll over it you should cope just fine!

let us know how you get on!
