Sweating like mad?

All my life, my base temperature has always been a couple degrees above the normal 96. I'm usually too warm, but other than that, I've not seen any negative effects from the temp elevation. However -- and I'm not sure these two are related -- I've also had a sweating problem forever. It seems like it's gotten a tad worse as I've gotten older (I'm 28). When I was younger and we lived in Alaska, I would be sweating inside my snowsuit while walking to school in subdegree weather. There are days, especially in the summer, that I don't understand why I bother doing anything to my hair because my scalp and neck and face are dripping with sweat and my hair gets wrecked. Same with makeup, particularly after I've taken a shower, I sweat so much while applying make up that it never lasts long. It's all the time. Walking up stairs. Any kind of physical activity, like unlocking doors and tidying up my office first thing it the morning. It's driving me nuts. I don't know how to stop it. Help?

Sweating like mad?
I have a relative in our family who had surgery for the excessive sweating in the hands. She couldn't even hold her own baby when it was born because she thought she would drop her little one. Your problem is called hyperhidrosis.





"I have hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. This is a condition that causes me to sweat much more than a normal person. In doctor terms that means that my sympathetic nervous system is working overtime. From what I've been able to find out through online sources, this problem affects more than 10% of the population."





This is a quote from a person who sounds like they have a similar problem to yours.





HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT


You are not alone if you suffer from excessive sweating. Millions of people exhibit symptoms of hyperhidrosis--including excessively sweaty palms, sweaty hands, armpits, feet or facial blushing. The good news is that a majority of these symptoms can be successfully treated.





Those that seek treatment, enter into a wondrous new lifestyle of comfort, confidence, and enjoyment in their everyday activities and work and personal relationships.





An outpatient procedure that typically takes less than one hour, called ETS or Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy, has a success rate of over 98% for most types of cases. Sweaty hands and palms are treated with great success. Facial sweating and blushing, as well as axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive armpit sweating) are also treated with high success rates using the ETS procedure. Immediately upon completion of your ETS procedure, the difficult, embarrassing symptoms that you may have lived with for years, are eliminated and you can begin experiencing a life without excessive sweating.





Read about the treatments - ETS and ETS-C are considered around the world to be the best surgical option for most cases of hyperhidrosis. These procedures are performed by surgeons who specialize in thoracic surgery and our specialists are among the best in the world.

Reply:You should have seen a doctor about this a long time ago... they can help with this sort of thing these days!!!
Reply:Go to the doctors. I have heard of people that sweat too much. theres a pill you can take to reduce the amount you sweat
Reply:I have the same problem, I keep baby wipes handy. I feel disgusting by the end of the day cause I sweat so much. You can see a doctor about it they have medicine that will help keep the sweating down but I would see a woman's doctor to make sure it's not hormonal. I have these problems as well.
Reply:My girlfriend has a similar problem, her hands and feet drip with sweat very often. Her doctor said she has hyperhydorsis and referred her to a specialist. There is some form of medication that is supposed to help, but she hasn't gone yet, so I can't really tell you if it's effective or not. I know there is also some surgical procedures, but I would try other means first.
Reply:Normal body temperature is 98.6F. Have you had your thyroid gland checked?
