Has anyone ever had hormone testing for hyperhydrosis
I had a hysterectomy at age 39 so my sweating is not from menopause
It started when I was about 45 and am 65 now.
Mine is mostly my head and face.
I am born and always lived in Florida so humidity and heat have always been in my world.
I do not have excessive tension, ptsd or any of the other things mentioned here that might contribute to it.
I find it so sad so many of us suffer from this condition and there is no real solution in sight.… read more
My daughter suggested this to me so I approached my doctor. I thought that at 71 I was too old for HRT, however my doctor has agreed to it once my blood pressure settles down. Fingers crossed.
Has anyone heard that the medication used for treating hyperhidrosis can lead to memory loss. This is what my dermatologist told me. I’m 71 so worried about this possible side effect
Which medications was your dermatologist talking about? I had not heard this yet but I too am interested.
It just starts sometimes for no reason, if I’m out it’s is so embarrassing , it’s depressing me as I no longer look forward to social events and find it’s really affecting my life. I have a family wedding in July which I am dreading because of it. All necklines of clothes get soaked . I am so aware of it all the time and feel very anxious. I haven’t discussed this with a dr. I find it very embarrassing.
Thankyou so much . You have been very helpful

I did not have a problem with excessive sweating until I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted with a battery in my spine and back. I turned the stimulator off for about two weeks, but it made no difference so I turned it back on. As I am typing this, my neck, shoulders, back and head are sweating and feel like there is a thin layer of ice covering the sweat, making me very cold even though it is 70 degrees in this room. I know that spinal cord injuries can cause sweating and I'm wondering if… read more
I feel that I have never come out of the menopause, however I started on antidepressants around what should have been close to the end of the menopause and wonder if this might be responsible for the continued symptoms
I have the same issue
Especially in summer I sweat on my head and neck a lot. Then I get sweat pimples that itch and even fill with puss. And they even come out on my face, around my ears and neck. Then I itch and I scratch.. my fermi has me on a low dose antibiotic, and it’s forever! He says it’s a form of psoriasis or eczema. !
Yes, my Fiancé has the same problem and that's what I thought it was, psoriasis! I'm glad to read your post. I really would like to get the books that they talk about, but don't know where to go.
