Winter is coming…

Winter in Australia is pretty mild compared to other countries, but for me Winter is a problem because I suffer from hyperhidrosis. This means I sweat a lot all the time, and when the weather is cold I’m wet and cold. Doesn’t matter what I’m wearing. I just sweat all the time.

I wouldn’t have issue with Winter except for this condition.

I walk to the library and when I get there the back of my head is dripping wet.

I recently went out taking photos at night time, and when I got home all my clothes were wet including my jacket.

Everything had to go into the washing machine.

I have to wear two kinds of deodorant. One on the skin (under arms), and another on the clothes (under arms). If I don’t do this I smell like a polecat. It’s due to the fact I’m always wet.

The only time I don’t sweat is when I’m asleep.

Gavin.

  1. That is strange that you don’t sweat at night. Is there medication for it? I understand the yucky feeling, I’m post-menopausal and have hot flashes and night sweats, it’s horrible.

    1. The treatment is Botox on the nerve that makes sweat. I can’t afford the procedure.
      I should have said that my feet don’t sweat when I’m asleep (Unconscious).
      The rest of me does sweat at night. G

  2. that’s tricky – I’m the reverse – something to do with the hormones means I even have to take my wedding ring off at night, because I start to overheat, and my fingers expand and get puffy… sigh. sending a cooling, anti-perspirant breeze your way! take care of yourself 🙂
