Does anyone else suffer from hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating? I have since I was very young and it is a horrible, miserable and embarrassing disease. My hands and feet sweat to the point of dripping which makes social functions unbelievably difficult and work situations/meetings/hand-shaking/presentations awful...After many years of doctors not understanding how crippling this was for my self esteem and telling me to carry tissues etc, I was finally put on Oxybutynin tablets which actually managed to control the sweating in most situations.
But I am now pregnant and it is not advised to take Oxybutynin as proper studies have not been carried out and toxicity has been found in animals.
This means that my sweating is back big-time and is making my life miserable again. Has anyone else found ANYTHING that can help? Has anyone taken Oxybutynin while pregnant? I have 4 more months until baby arrives and I just don't know how I am going to manage. Any advice would be appreciated...
