Excessive sweating during peri-menopause

[RubyTuesday]

I have been in this same boat for about five years now. Mine definitely are hot flashes (maybe we should be posting on Team Lack of Estrogen!) It is definitely frustrating. Not only do I hot flash, but I find myself sweaty in places I never sweat before. I don't sweat much under the arms, but my belly, neck and even the backs of my hands look misty. I can feel the sweat run down my back.

I now am using sleeveless shirts (even if it is cool outside). Buy thinner shorts and definitely use Hoo Haa Ride Glide on the bits under the shorts. It is cooling and stops bacteria from growing. It also feels very cool. I add ice to my water bottle and some days, I just sweat.

At least you are in shape and looking fabulous when you sweat!

I was just remembering doing a tofu making demonstration some 30 years ago and trying not to sweat into the milk. It was only 90 degrees that day and not as humid as it gets nowadays. Nothing to do with menopause here.....

That reminds me of an episode of Top Chef where one of the male chefs was sweating into the dish he was making. Gross!

Fortunately, I've never sweat like that while cooking.
