Hello everyone. I'm new here and I'm glad to have found a place where I can converse with others going through the same t hing.
I'm 27 years old and I've dealt with excessive sweating all over (face, back, chest, my hands on occasion), and my under arms since I was at least 12 years old.
I have Cerebral Palsy so I walk with crutches and always thought that it was just because I'm exerting more effort to get around. But it got to the point where just going from the car into hot weather into an air conditioned store would get me sweating. This night for example, I went out to put something on the grill and I was fine, I came back and I was sweating. I'm at the point where I feel like I can't function at all, especially in this hot weather. In cooler weather it's alittle better around the house, but forgot going to into stores. I still sweat then.
Yesterday my doc put my on Lexopram. 1mg twice a day for a week and we'll see how it works. I've been having trouble sleeping so he thought this would relax me and help, which it seems to be, but he thought i tmight help the sweating too. So far I'm going to say no. I did sweat or manage my sweating a bit better today but the day was cooler.
Is there anything that someome with all over sweating problems has tried that has atleast drastically reduced the events? I used to use Odaban for my arms but I hated having to keep ordering it. I went to Certain-Dri an dthat worked for my underarms of course, but right now my underarms practically don't sweat at all and all I'm using are over the counter d/a. Right now I think I'm using Degree...but it works.
