RE: Excessive Sweating
There are quite a number of alternatives to antiperspirants that can help with excessive sweating. There are some oral medications available to help stop the sweating. Talk to your doctor about the problem and he may prescribe anticholinergic or antidepressant drugs to help you control the sweating.
There's also a current buzz about injecting Botox to stop excessive sweating. However, as you sweat also on your face and body, Botox may not seem feasible.
Participating in some form of mediation or self hypnosis may be able to help reduce the sweating if you experience excessive sweating when you are feeling anxious, depressed, or nervous.
Try avoiding smoking, caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods which can cause sweating.

If you are overweight it could be the "fat insulation". Thirty pounds heavier than I used to be, I sweat a whole lot more than I used to.

also a quick tip is find cold or cool water and place both your wrists in it , this seems to cool me down and I have been a "hottie" since childhood.

Have your doctor give you a prescription for Drysol. This was originally used for sweating feet. However, it works under your arms too. I had a terrible sweating problem for years but the drysol did the trick. Apply right after a shower. I think you will only have to use it once or twice a week but check the directions. I always recommend drysol. It was a lifesaver for me. I found out about Drysol from a Dear Abby column when a reader had asked Abby for advice to stop sweating.

Welcome to my world, I know exactly what you mean. I know we shouldn't, but I keep our house at 74 degrees and let me mop the floor or vacuum and my face drips water until I have a ring around my shirt. I love the outside, so I wear a sweat band out there and still I get that wet shirt ring. I hate planning outside trips, because I know what I am in for. I wear white and carry a cool drink around, but it doesn't help that much. I am going to my OBGYN soon to get a hormonal check. That is the only thing I can think that might be wrong. I have been like this most of my adult life. My dad used to sweat like me. I remember it dripping from his nose and me laughing up a storm. Payback is not nice.

Use Certain Dri, it is available at most stores like Walgreens and Target. Apply it at night before going to sleep and go about your normal routine the next day. It really worked for me, I hardly use it now.

i too live in the south (sc) so i know your pain. if you are a middle aged female, it's probably hormonal. if not, it could be glandualar or metabolic. it can be a reaction to meds. you probably need to see a doctor for a work up. they can precribe prescription strength anti-perspirants and/or use botox to essentially freeze or stop the perspiration from certain glands. you have to be careful about over heating though. b/c it's the perspiration that cools your body temp off when it's hot. so if you stop the perspiration, you could get heat stroke.
