I sweat too much?

I sweat way too much from my hands armpit and feet everyday. My hands and feet are also cold and clamy when not drenched. Usually this slows down at night but during the day it gets in the way alot. I am currently seeking treatement through accupuncture. Does anyone know if this will work?? I have tried antipersperants but they contain aluminum which is not very good for you. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it!
I sweat too much?
I used to have a problem with sweating underneath the armpits. I get the feet and hands a little too, but not as bad. It was mostly in my Teens, early 20%26#039;s. I went to a dermatoligist and he gave me a product called %26quot;Drysol%26quot; (I think thats the name at least). It was something that you put underneath ur arms that would completely dry it up. It takes ur body about a month to get used to it, so you may develope a rash, but the doctor can perscribe a lotion to help with that. I used it for about 3 years. I no longer have to use it at all, I still sweat under my pits, but not prefusely. If that products still around, I would highly recommend it.

You can get Botox on your underarms to control the sweating, I saw it on Dr. 90210 (I know not the best of sources.) After it was injected the Dr. said it would take a couple of weeks, but thereafter the sweating will completely stop for 6 to 9 months.
Reply:What you have is possibly (most likely) hyperhidrosis. 3-5% of the world has it too, including me.





I don%26#039;t know if acupuncture will work, but here are some things that people with hyperhidrosis are often treated with and that actually help:





Armpits: you can get botox injections that disable the sweat glands that are overreacting. This is usually /the/ answer for most people suffering from axillary hyperhidrosis (armpits). You have to renew the injections every 6 months. There are rumours that it causes breast cancer and all kinds of other illnesses/diseases blabla, but they%26#039;ve been greatly proven as untrue. I plan on getting this soon too. You can also get an operation that cuts through some nerve, but there are lots of negative things about it, so botox seems the best solution.





Some people say that antiperspirants help, but I find they only improve things minimally. It%26#039;s good if there%26#039;s aluminium in there, because that%26#039;s one of the things that battles sweat effectively because it kills bacteria/germs or something like that.





Hands: Luckily, I only have HH mildly on my hands, but I still got some infos on curing it. Thers this thing called %26#039;Iothoporensis%26#039; or something like that, where you place your hands on this screen and it disables the nerves there too. That%26#039;s a method that works extremly well, apparently, but few doctors are able to do it.





Feet: same as hands.





I really can%26#039;t tell you enough, except that you are not alone and that there are ways to cure it. Here are some really great links that helped me heaps to deal with it and to further inform myself.

This is a really great blog about a woman living with hyerhidrosis. She updates every now and then and when I started reading it, I felt really happy because the things she described where exactly the problems I had. (but it%26#039;s more focused on palmar hyperhidrosis)





http://www.sweathelp.org/English/


Another amazing site. There is so much information here. You can read up on all the cures to hyperhidrosis, pros and cons, and you also get tips (like what kinds of clothes to wear so that air can circulate etc.). Just wander about here and you%26#039;ll get a lot smarter.





And then there%26#039;s plain old wikipedia. It%26#039;s the most scientific explanation to HH. It was my first stop when I first realised that I might have it.





I hope this helps. I know what%26#039;s it%26#039;s like and I know how terrible living with HH is. Good luck :).
Reply:There are two main reasons why we perspire, firstly the core body temperature rises and causes perspiration to promote cooling by evaporation, this is on sign of shock after some trauma the second main reason is that we are doing a job that is a bit heavy and often when your hands are involved they become hot and sweaty, with the feet it maybe because the socks you are wearing are to heavy for your feet and the reach the temperature that causes perspiration. This is all based on the fact that you are a normal healthy person. If you are not a normal healthy person then you have a problem that is affecting your metabolic system that you should get a doctors opinion about.
