I Have Hyperhidrosis All Over 24/7

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Manchester, CA

My scalp, forehead, face, neck, chest. I sweat all over. Every second of the day. All day. All night. I’ve been given oxybutynin and propantheline bromide tablets. Both leave me with severe dry mouth. To the point I can’t swallow any food. It leaves the roof of my mouth raw and sore and my throat is bone dry. I try to eat and choke because my throat won’t allow anything to pass through. I’m drinking fluids all day. Sipping every few minutes allll day to stop the inside of my mouth becoming sore… read more

My Sweating Always Comes With Overheating. Especially My Head/face. But Still No Diagnosis Any Ideas Anyone?

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Surrey, BC

I get hot flashes continuously, which always comes with going red and sweating so bad my clothes soak in minutes. If it's chilly outside steam will actually come off my head. Been tested for so many things and seen soo many doctors who have all given up on me even though they've seen it. My head and face are the worst though. It's a constant drip, it's ridiculous. I hate leaving my house. Anyone deal with something similar? Also im 26 years old 5'0 tall 220lbs.

I Have Horrific Head Sweats. I Look Like I’ve Just Washed My Hair, It Gets Soaking Wet. I Dread Going To Social Events.

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Eastbourne, UK

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.

Is There A Brand Of Glycopyrrolate That Is Most Effective?

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Toronto, ON

I'm new to this group but not new to hyperhidrosis. I'm currently 55 but my first memory of excessive sweating was on the playground in 5th or 6th grade. No one wanted to share their baseball mitt with me because my sweating made it sopping wet. Fast forward to my late 20s when I discovered oxybutynin and my life changed. I was finally able to manage my excessive sweating and felt a lot more comfortable in my skin. Recently the oxybutynin manufacturer I had been using (Apotex) no longer produces… read more
