sweat

[Crankin]

One of my kids' teachers had hyperhydrosis. It was awful. It can be cured by the same experimental (although it's probably not experimental now) surgery DS#2 had for his Raynauds. Otherwise, the conventional way to cure involves cracking your ribs open and going in that way, to cut the vagus nerve.

Fortunately, I don't have it. From all the websites I checked, it involves sweating profusely at rest or in cool temps. My profuse sweating only occurs when working out. Obviously everyone sweats at different rates when working out , and I just happen to be at the high end of the bell curve. Being menopausal is one "risk factor" for heavier sweating in hot/humid weather and when working out, unfortunately. Check!

They are using botox for hyperhydrosis now, mostly in the armpits, but my sweat is all over, not just in select areas (which is much more common in hyperhydrosis, I've learned -- feet, hands, and armpits are very common areas affected).
