Members connected deeply over the embarrassment and isolation of excessive sweating, with many describing profuse sweating from minimal activity that soaks their hair, face, and clothes, making work and social situations challenging. Several members shared practical coping strategies including using clinical-strength deodorant on problem areas, applying talcum powder before dressing, carrying battery-powered fans and tissues, wearing layers, and exploring medical interventions like Botox injections for underarms or prescription medications such as Glycopyrrolate and clonidine. A recurring theme was the search for answers, with members discussing potential causes ranging from fibromyalgia and medications like tramadol or narcotics to menopause and thyroid issues, while expressing frustration that doctors often dismiss their concerns despite the significant impact on daily life and self-confidence.

Wow, that question and answer is exactly what I'm going through..it's very embarrassing especially when you work with people ( in health care at that )that don't care nor believe any of this anyways..but just going out in public is awful also.
The worse for me is my hair gets soaked and looks like I just got out of a shower, and my face,, {;ease someone have some ideas..thanks

Yes and it is horrible. I went to a dermatologist and she put me on Glycopyrrol it has helped tremendously. I have not seen any side effects except I crave water. It is well worth a try. Before I could not do anything outside or in the heat without becoming completely drenched

I am so happy I found this site. It does help me to know I am not alone with this. Hopefully we can find an answer before March. I am matron of honor in my best friends wedding and can't be sweating all over the place.

I am having the symptoms as well but I didn't realize it was from the fibromyalgia. I thought it was just from weight gain and being out of shape.

For any of you that answered this...any of you are narcotics?
Growing up, I would sweat when it was hot and cold, but after the starting norco, I sweat all day long!! My grandma even paid for my eyeliner and brows to be tattooed so I can get away with not wearing makeup since it just drips anyways.
