Sweating - It is starting to rule my life

I cannot remember exactly when, but i think it has been a few years ago now, I noticed that I sweat alot more and that I start to smell sweaty after only minutes fo the sweating starting.

It has got worse and is starting to effect my whole life. I start a new job on Friday in what will be a warm environment and I am dreading it because being in a normal environment where I am not even hot makes me sweat.

I know you can get those really strong deoderants and I have tried a couple but they give me awful rashes and i end up having to wash it off and stop using it.

Also, as if having sweaty arm pits wasn't bad enough, I also have the same problem in my groin area and the back of my legs . If I sit down for any length of time then I can garuntee that I will feel wet when I stand up.

I just don't know what to do. Is there any ilnesses or anything which make people sweat more or am I just a freak ?

I try so hard to be clean and presentable and yet I often end up smelling like a blokes changing room within a couple of hours.

For example. I had a bath earlier, got dry and applied deoderant. Since then all I have done is sat on sofa and watch tv. I have on clean cotton pj's.
I got up to come on here and my armpits were sweaty and smell so now i will have to have another wash before bed

Another thing I did was when I started using "stronger" antipersperants was to go through all my tops and all the ones that had that ingrained smell - chucked them!

You might find that the heat from your body releases the odours from your clothes in the pit area. I thought I smelled but when I took the top off - it was in the top and not on me so I kept the ones that were not too bad and threw the rest. It made me feel more confident with some new tops when I tried the new products and I could then tell how effective they were.

Also wash all tops in Bio and put some neat on the pit area and rub in and leave to soak for 10 mins before washing. Try stain removers for blood and sweat as they eat the stains and odours. Or spray top pits with Shout before washing to keep it at bay.

Hope this helps.

Go directly and buy 'sage tincture' froma health shop. You mix a few drops with water and drink, its ok actually. I take it for menopausal sweats and it is fantastic. Lets know how you get on, I know it will work as it has cut down my 'sweating by 95%)!!!!
