Ridiculous embarrassing sweating...?

Ok, another ?. I am female, 29 and had twins a few months ago. I am hypothyroid, type 2 diabetic and obviously overweight due to baby weight excess... I have MAJOR hot flashes. I drip on the upper part of my body. face, in my hair, on my neck, forehead etc. It is embarrassing and ridiculous. I went to the dr. and she did bloodwork and said that everything is fine... she did not know what to do? What the hell? I am just miserable at times. Has anyone ever experienced this and what did they do? I am losing weight healthy. Is it just the excess weight? or is my body in overheat mode? Thank you!

Having twins is pretty rough on the body for one thing- if you are not used to being the weight you are, it is possible your body will become overly tired faster and your pours more prone to sweat it out due to it.


I agree with the hypothyroid condition contributing- but keep in mind, we know our bodies more than any doctor, if you feel there is something more, get a second opinion- Doctors are like drivers, just because we carry a license, doesn't mean we are good drivers!


In the meantime, try a low sodium routine for a while, no pre-packed, canned, boxed or frozen foods- no ketchup or fast food, go with fresh veggies, no salt, butter is okay, check labels prior to eating anything, if it is high in sodium, avoid it.


Sodium causes high BP and also tends to retain water, bloat you and yes, sweat more.


Secondly drink lots of water and if you get a flash you take a hand towel and run it under cold water until it is drenched end to end- ring it out and place it on the back of your neck, it will cool you down instantly.


I wish you the best and congratulations on your little ones- which brings me to also mention you may just be over doing it- you have your hands full over there and with diabetes, and the extra weight- try to pace yourself a little better SOMEHOW- family or friends may be able to take over an hour so you can have some "ME" time. You need time for yourself too.


Many hugs-

You could have a condition called Hyperhidrosis..look it up
Reply:Well, what about getting a second opinion? I sweat a lot too and have just learned to get over it. I drink a lot of water so even if I get sweaty I don't stink and so if you're uncomfortable looking at me all sweaty then don't look. Make use of a bandana or hair band to absorb the sweat, wear cotton because it's very absorbent.
Reply:im no doctor but id say it was because of your heath prb.look up on goggle ,yahoo or jeeves about your illness and see if any of them have these problems....also never hurts to ask another doctor.....
Reply:It sounds as though your doctor has ignored one of the most possible scenarios - you are going into early menopause. Twenty-nine is young, but there are numerous cases of women who enter menopause in their late twenties or early thirties. The combination of hypothyroidism and diabetes, along with your weight, might have just kicked off a pseudo-menopause. It is embarrassing and very inconvenient, and the sad thing is there isn't much you can do about it. Some women find relief from estrogen - perhaps you could ask your doctor to prescribe a low level estrogen regime for you, on a trial basis. If it's pseudo or genuine menopause, that will allay the symptoms. If it's something else, the premarin pills won't have any effect, so you could use it as a diagnostic tool.


Congratulations on your twins - you must be a busy lady now!
Reply:I'm at age 59.. I have been doing this for the pass ten year. I'm over weight..... But at time I don't think it that... We have got to try to live with it..... Its hard to do sometime...... Hang in there......... Good Luck............
Reply:I'm no doctor so I won't even try to offer you medical advice. BUT it sounds to me as if your hormones have just been thrwn out by the birth of the baby.





Excessive sweating is known medically as idiopathic hyperhidrosis. It's not nice! My mother had it during menopause (it has stopped now she's past her menopause thank goodness).





There are drugs you can take and there are professional therapists who specialise in it.





I suggest you go with what your doctor says for now. When you get to 3-4 months after the birth of your baby you might want to consider some kind of toxicity clearout (colonic irrigation or a herbal treatment for toxicity). This used to help my mother for a few months.





But generally, getting your thyroid condition and your weight under control ought to be enough.





If you look up idiopathic hyperhidrosis on google you'll get a long list of therapies and other information that will help you out.





If the condition goes on a long time you definitely need a specialist therapist to sort you out.





Good luck to you - and to the new baby as well!
