Excessive sweating during peri-menopause

[OakLeaf]

Y'know, take it back to the beginning...

What don't you like about sweating?

Is it a matter of having to wear more, and more delicate, clothes at work than one normally would? That seems like the only issue that's really a problem ... if you're not sensitive to wool, converting an entire wardrobe to washable summer-weight wool would be expensive, but would probably eliminate any issues.

If it's odor, that's not sweat volume, that's body chemistry. Usually (though not always) remedied by a clean diet and/or a change in toiletries or detergent.

Is it trying to get your fluid and electrolyte intake in balance? That's an issue for me, and I'm probably going to wind up seeing a sports nutritionist sooner than later.

Something else?

To the extent that it's related to menopause, remember that you're just beginning to sweat, almost, a little bit, like a man. The way men sweat, with acceptance from themselves and others, all their lives.

(And pigs don't sweat.)
