I hesitated in posting this, but here it goes...
Anyone suffer from this condition (hyperhydrosis)? If there is someone, please let me know what you have tried and what has worked.
I'm desperate...it's really embarrassing, but I've had this since the age of 5 or 6 and because of this, I totally hate warm weather, when my hands perspire ten-fold. I don't care if my feet do (I've learned which shoes to buy to absorb the perspiration and not make that awful squishy sound:o).
I've seen dermatologists. Have tried special creams, wearing plastic (thin) gloves to bed, talc, you name it. Only option is some kind of water/electrody treatment thing (forgot the name, sorry) or surgery to remove some of the sweat glands (which I've not done...yet).
In the winter, I still have it...often my hands are freezing cold and sweaty.
BTW, it does not just happen if I'm nervous or anxious, it happens anytime, anywhere.
Thanks for any help/advice.
