Hormone Testing For Hyperhydrosis

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pc

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.

Does Anyone Else Get The Little Pustules From The Sweating On Their Head?

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Baldwinsville, NY

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. !

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member

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.

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

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member

I too was put on those oxy's. All it did was dry my mouth out. It didnt help with my sweats at all. I guess each case is differant on what works.
