Does Anyone Else Here Have Hyperhydrosis? (a Sweating Condition)
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I have had Hyperhydrosis since I was a teenager, my hands and feet will just randomly sweat bad! It is so embarrassing at times. It isn't every day, but believe it or not, it happens more when I am cold (in winter) and in the Summer it rarely happens at all! I just found out a few years ago from my doctor that it's a real condition with a name. He said there is a surgery for it where they go in through your lungs to do something, I forget exactly what. But, if surgery works then the sweating… read more

I know someone with it. His started when he was about 20. He is very embarrassed about it too. He has to shake a lot of hands every day at work. He mentioned the surgery too...but thought too drastic. I have hyperhydrosis also, but not of the hands and feet..."of the all over" lol It began when I started the @Cymbalta 4 years ago. Very common with @Cymbalta. I try to always have A/C or fan on me!! I also know a girl that has it on the hands and she wears a sweater with pockets and keeps small body powder puffs, with body powder on them in the pockets, and puts her hands in her pockets sometimes and squeezes the puffs to get some dry powder on her hands, when she's out or around people. Hugs friend!! :)

@A MyFibroTeam Member Oh good (sort of) I know it's not just me!! I could not get on last night at all, grrr... so frustrating! I wrote them an email to let them know the message I kept getting. I'm glad it's working now. Some computer security programs have firewalls to block intrusion attempts, so I wonder if that was it, but I don't know. I hope they let us all know. I was trying to send a message to you when I got kicked off. :P HUGS!! πŸ˜™

@A MyFibroTeam Member Yeah it's too bad too, because I had liked my job for the most part, was shocked how they turned on a dime over my diagnosis, but granted it was getting too difficult to stay. I know it has happened to other tellers with medical problems too, and I'm sure many other people. :/
Lol... funny you should mention the anti-perspirant idea, I tried that, but for the hands it's kind of messy, and on my feet it got on my socks. :P I have a prescription called, Aluminum Chloride 20% solution... however it is very drying so I rarely even use it. You cannot touch your eyes or mouth with it on either, yuck!! Lol... I am drinking your suggested tea with honey... I put in one teaspoon, it was good, then made the mistake of adding more, so it's a bit too sweet but I am drinking it anyway. :) And yes, I am looking forward to my morning banana! πŸ’πŸŒπŸŒπŸŒπŸ΅

@A MyFibroTeam Member. sounds like it's a good thing you are not at that bank anymore . They sure weren't very understanding of your condition. Probably jealous of you. There doesn't seem to be an answer other than the surgery. Yuck! I remember reading something about someone applying clear gel antiperspirant to their feet & hands and letting it dry. Might help? Sorry I can't help you. Keep smiling though! Just think tomorrow you can have a banana!! Bahaha πŸŒπŸŒπŸŒπŸŒπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’•
