Im glad to see there are other people like me because ive never seen any one else with hyperhidrosisn thankyou

[miltonmarie]

I'm a auxiliaryhyperhidrosis sufferer since my teenage years. I'm now 32... I'm so glad to see that I'm not alone....

[Lexington365]

Great video! I am a 28 year old male from the UK and have suffered from HH for about 15 years. It's gradually got worse and affects my face, back, underarms and groin. Anxiety or just been warm set it off so I have to be hugely careful about what I wear and where I go. I will wear shorts and a t-shirt as often as possible, sometimes even in the winter! I think the biggest problem for most sufferers is public perception. It's not seen as a medical condition.

[VerySweatyBetty]

@Lexington365 Hiya, thank you! Have you been to the forum yet? There's all sorts of good ideas and products that may help you. I sweat from my scalp to my feet and all we can really do is learn to disguise it and rise above it. I do think you'd benefit from Wrapps. We all swear by them, as do many sportsmen/women. They soak up sweat instead of blocking. Always the best way of dealing with it as no Compensatory Sweating. Do check the forum for explanations :)

[MrGrownMan8819]

Hi, I am a sufferer of hyperhidrosis. I sweat everywhere but I did get my hands to stop sweating using the the video "cure sweaty hands, feet, hyperhidrosis" on youtube.

[VerySweatyBetty]

@MrGrownMan8819 Hi there, that video is also on our channel! Many of our members have found it useful and I'm glad you have, too. Please come and join in the discussions on our forum, I think you could help many people with your experience of this device, we're always getting questions on it. Take care, Betty.

corposcindosis - Anger, Depression and Suicide < I already have these feelings and thoughts going on. Not so much suicide but alot of anger,depression,anxiety,stres­s... it's threw the roof

[VerySweatyBetty]

@lKingCobra You poor thing, it's always really hard for us to hear when someone is feeling so bad. Everyone with severe sweating goes through this at some time or another. We're told that sweating is harmless - I'd like to hear them say that when they're soaked from head to foot on a daily basis. Corposcindosis is what happens after ETS surgery, it's what ruins lives. I wish I had a $ for everyone who has told me they'd rather have their 'old' sweating back again - ETS is irreversible.

[VerySweatyBetty]

@lKingCobra Last June we know someone who had ETS for her hands and underarms. She didn't sweat a huge amount but she was determined all the same. By August, she reported that her back, bottom, crotch and legs were sweating so bad that she'd do anything to turn back the clocks. Compensatory Sweating will happen post-surgery - I can't go into it here but I can explain it much better when there's more space to do so - have you joined our forum? Please do, you can register for freebies too.

@VerySweatyBetty, I've tried atleast 3 different creams and liquids and non have worked what so ever they seem to be a waste of time and money. My case is very severe not just clammy or moist i absolutely pour sweat out. I highly doubt any of these creams,gels what ever will work what so ever on me. I'm so lost with the help i feel that it's never gonna go away. I need help really really badly my social life doesn't excist it's pitiful.

[lKingCobra]

@VerySweatyBetty , thanks for the repsonse, I have no job and no benefits so getting help is zero to none. Doctors always tried to give me hand lotions which just made me ever madder. I live in the south and its just got full blown in the past 2 years from wet hands to dripping and a constant rate. I made an appointment again and the local hospital and i know i'm gonna get the hand cream sollution garbage again. From what i can see the only method for me is surgery.

[VerySweatyBetty]

@lKingCobra There are a lot of products for hands. Have you tried Klima hand spray? There's also Odaban, there's iontophoresis, Sweat Protect - to name but a few. The surgery you're talking about is only going to make you sweat worse from somewhere else - ie your back, legs, chest, feet. The surgery has been banned in Sweden - where it was originally pioneered. Please google corposcindosis. We have lots of info on this on our website and it's not something we recommend. We need to talk...

[lKingCobra]

@VerySweatyBetty , what about helping men also why just woman? my case is severe hands,armpits,feet dripping from the min i wake up to the min i go to sleep. It's gotten so bad im loosing my mind !

[VerySweatyBetty]

@lKingCobra Hello - thank you for your comment :) Whoever told you we only help women has their facts wrong - we help men as well - and children, and families and friends. We also liaise with media professionals and pharmaceutical companies, medical professionals and anyone else who stands still for long enough! Please visit our website hyperhidrosissupport (it's got c o m at the end) and click on forum - contact admin and they will be able to help you. Take care :) VSB Admin

I remember being in the 8th grade, and having to try and situate myself to try and stop the underarm sweat from running all the way down my sides:( In high school I'd have to go to the bathroom every period and put my shirt on the hand blower to dry the sweat! Sometimes I'd even change my shirt halfway through. To makes things worse, I also have social anxiety, so it makes it even worse!

[VerySweatyBetty]

@shellylanette Hello there :) I often think children have it hardest, I never said a thing to my mum, even when she caught me using an antiperspirant on the backs of my legs and inner thighs. I got blasted out for wasting it and wasn't allowed to use it any more - which really didn't help :( Do you find your HH began before your social anxiety? Please register on our forum if you haven't already, you could really help people and I'm sure you'll learn so much more about HH and products :) x

[shellylanette]

@VerySweatyBetty I can remember being a baby in my Mothers' arms and getting TERRIFIED of going anywhere new if there were other ppl around. Once we went to visit my G.Grandmother and when I saw her I tried to hide down my Mom's shirt! I think this may be considered s.anxiety, but others say it's just extreme shyness at that young of an age. I'm not shy AT ALL anymore, but still find myself worrying about what others think, esp. when I start to sweat:( ....vicious cycle type thing...

[VerySweatyBetty]

@shellylanette I was identical as a little one, no confidence. I was sent to playschool (nursery) a few times & hated it so much I'd cry from the moment my mum left to home time. When I was in Infant school I cried so hard I had to be collected a couple of times. My brother (16 months younger) was my opposite. I assume it's down to my father being very ill back then & I really worried about him. Hearing an ambulance sirens go by always freaked me out. Too much worry on my little shoulders maybe?

[shellylanette]

@VerySweatyBetty Yeah, just oversensitive to the world. I have a cousin like this also. She'd cry when ANY noise louder than normal talking started up, even up to close to the age of 10. If an ambulance went by we'd have to run inside and give her a pillow to put over her ears, and then she'd keep saying she still heard it when no one else could still. Like you said, way to many cares for so young!

[VerySweatyBetty]

@shellylanette It wasn't so much the noise or anything like that that upset me, rather than knowing an ambulance meant someone was very ill and might die. As my Dad was very ill and I didn't understand about his illness, I thought that he was going to die - that's why ambulance sirens scared me silly, I didn't know if my Dad was alive or dead. Since I lost my Dad in 1996, I don't hear ambulance sirens and fall to pieces any more.

[shellylanette]

@VerySweatyBetty :(! It is always horrible to think of stress in a child's life! I remember just stressing over death itself starting from a really young age. I got over it as I got older, but then started to worry about "never" growing up. I was stressed about what college I'd get into well before high school. I even wondered what I could do to stop bickering between my parents, and anytime controversy came up, I'd make the sit down and "referee" the conversation...ugh............­lol

[lucy361000]

Try Drysol for underarms it works like magic but it does irritate your skin the first or second time you use it :)

[VerySweatyBetty]

@VeryMiinED Aw, you removed your comment! I've just read it in the notification email though - and I totally agree with you - there's not enough around like that is there?! :)

[Energee74]

TRY ARM & HAMMER ESSENTIALS DEODORANT.

NO ALUMINUM.

[VerySweatyBetty]

I just wanted to let you know that I didn't realise that I was logged into our other account, Hyperhidrosis Aware when I commented earlier today. For those of you who don't know, we have been running the Hyperhidrosis Awareness Campaign since 2008. Sorry for any confusion!

[eroll1985]

i share the same story with the rest of you guys. i'm 25 and i have a axillary hyper hydrosis. aside from drysol is there any drug or pill that prevents this, that won't e needing doctor's prescription and is absolutely safe? please i need an answer.

[HyperhidrosisAware]

@eroll1985 Unfortunately there's no such thing as an absolutely safe medication. Even herbal remedies are still full of chemicals - naturally occurring rather than man-made but still can be very dangerous in the 'right' circumstances. There are ways of coping with/hiding with underarm sweat. Please come to the forum and message Beverly or Anne so we can go through your options with you. There's not enough space to go through everything we need to on here!

[coohliciousme]

HI Betty,

I'm 23 years old and I have been experiencing HH in all areas in my body ever since I could remember. So your story made me accept my medical condition and made me realize as well that life is beautiful and there's so much more in life that I should be thankful of. I'll also visit your site.

thanks again :)

[HyperhidrosisAware]

@coohliciousme Thank you so much, it's always more rewarding than you can possibly know to have such lovely feedback. I hope you enjoy the website, please feel free to join in the discussions, laughs and moans on our forum, it's private so you don't have to worry about privacy issues. Take care!

When I was growing up my mom said I had a disease which left me sweaty. My fever went up to 106 degrees, they couldn't keep it down, it was horse fever -- an allergic reaction to Horse Serum Tetanus. Interestingly, they discontinued this kind of vaccine. The doctor said I have damaged hypothalmus from the fever, but it didn't damage my intellect. I never thought I'd get married but I have a wonderful husband who loves me for the real me.

Your story has touched my heart.

[HyperhidrosisAware]

@courag1 Hello, thank you for your comments. You're correct about the hypothalmus - I had both bacterial & viral meningitis 20 years ago & Anne had brain surgery as a very small girl. Both of us sweat head to foot & I'm guessing you're similar? There's also evidence it's hereditary in some cases. Regarding love, we might be sweaty but we're still lovable people! Congratulations on finding such a lovely husband! Please visit our forum, I'm sure you'll inspire many people struggling to find love.

[courag1]

@HyperhidrosisAware I put off having children until I was 28 as I wan't sure if it was hereditary. I have three normal sons. My dad was Norwegian, he sweat more than average, but his body could survive in the Artic whereas many people couldn't.

Many people never realize that the most important part of us, is not based upon our material being. God is my best friend. Every time I went out the door as I grew up, took courage. I judge people not on their physical appearance. Forum sounds good.

[courag1]

@HyperhidrosisAware I have fans around the house. As I have gotten older, the heat bothers me more, and my husband gets more effected by the cold. I turn the fans on, he turns them off. And at nighttime, he needs to sleep without the fan. But I work at home and I don't sleep well. So I am tired a lot. But I am blessed in that I can and do work from home.

The self-image is the part which we suffer from and you can't get away from yourself. Even at home. It takes "courage" to walk out the door.

[courag1]

@HyperhidrosisAware You're right, the sweating has been head to foot. It comes & goes as if it is my own private form of epilepsy. On the days which are good, I have no idea why, nor do I understand what brings on the unrelenting sweating. I've tried almost everything. But I have found that any drug or things are toxic, I have to avoid. Healthy is number one. Mine has been from age 4. I really have no memories of me without the condition. I have 3 sons so there is more tolerance if males sweat.

[VerySweatyBetty]

@andiaquino Hello! Thank you for your recommendation, it's very kind of you to take the time to message me. Unfortunately though, there's absolutely nothing in that book that will ever stop anyone sweating, it's a complete waste of money imho - reviewed on our forum :)

[andiaquino]

@VerySweatyBetty really? i have hyperhidrosis in hands, foot, and armpits. i even contacted my uncle in the states to buy the book to end my sweating hopefully.

even the free books did not do anything?

[VerySweatyBetty]

@andiaquino Some of them have some good tips in but if something claims to 'stop' or 'cure' your sweating then chances are it's a money making scam. If there was a way to stop sweating, or if there was a cure, none of us would have Hyperhidrosis. At the moment, there's products to help you with the effects of sweating but nothing else, unfortunately.

We have tips and product ideas on our forum - they actually work, and it's competely free :)

[andiaquino]

@VerySweatyBetty thank you so much sweaty betty, i hate the feeling of aloneness or being left out anymore.. Thank you for the courage you took to make a support group.

can i make an account in your website? coz i've been visting it for a couple of times but i've not been able to create an account or something.. or is it just exclusive?

[VerySweatyBetty]

@andiaquino You certainly can register - I'm not allowed to put up a link but if you go to verysweatybetty com, click on 'forum' there should be a option to register on there. If you still have problems my email is betty at verysweatybetty com. I can send you a direct link through email xx
