So about 2 1/2 weeks ago, I made a post asking for advice on how to deal with this and a lot of of you all recommended that I go to the hospital, but due to not having insurance, I wanted to wait until October when I get insurance.

Well, I ended up going to the emergency room because of this constant scratchy throat, and the feeling that a small piece of food was stuck, that’s been going on for about two months.. They looked in my throat and found nothing, but as I was sitting there, I immediately started pouring sweat, and the doctor‘s eyebrow raised up. She asked if I had any diagnosis for the sweating and I said no it just started about three months ago. That’s when she said that she wanted to do an ultrasound on my throat.

Almost immediately the vibe in the room just went to shit. They found a solid mass on my thyroid. About 70% of it is on the right lobe and the rest is on the Isthmus. As they were doing the ultrasound, they put this really long needle in for a biopsy. She said not to worry most of the time it’s just benign, but she was gonna refer me to an endocrinologist anyways. I met with him and he confirmed the biopsy showed cancerous cells and scheduled to have some test done.

On Wednesday, I had a MRI done, blood drawn, and another biopsy done on the back of my neck, and today I met with the endocrinologist again.

The tumor is cancerous, it’s in my lymph nodes, and it spread to and found lesions on my C3 C4 and C5 vertebrae. The official diagnosis is Stage 3 follicular, thyroid cancer with confirmed metastasis

I’m gonna meet with the doctor again soon to come up with a treatment plan

I was still getting comments on my last post so I thought I would post an update if anybody was interested.

TLDR; Cancer

This is way inconvenient and unreasonable for us hh and brom sufferers. There need to be some type of cure created before the end of 2026 pleaseeeeee. Create medicines or products whichever i just want the pain to stop

Hey everyone, I'm struggling with excessive sweating and it's got to a point where it's gotten out of control. I sweat so much when I'm in public, my hair starts dripping in sweat and my whole body heats up, I genuinely don't know what to do. Even when I'm just sitting down in class sweat starts pouring from my head and I get made fun of. I try wearing light clothes and use antiperspirant deodorant and nothing works. This has been going on for my whole life and it is ruining myself, it's gotten to a point where I don't even want to go out anymore because I'm just going to start sweating so much for no reason. I start school in a couple of days and I want to know how to stop sweating so much. Any tips or tricks will help me 🙏🙏

I finally found a doctor who was willing to order glyco for me (I’m from the U.K. but based in West Africa right now). I’m going to pick up the meds tomorrow but I’m nervous because I reacted very badly to oxybutynin. I had man symptoms but the one that drove me crazy was overheating during the British heatwaves

Now that I’m in a very hot and humid country, I’m stressed about feeling like an internal oven. Any recommendations on how I can minimise this? Portable fans are futile in 85% humidity

Hi, my 18 year son is really down about his sweaty hands. Dr had him try Qbrexa wipes but didn’t do much, and now put him on Sofdra 12.45%. I can’t find anything online anecdotally on if this works on hands (mainly for armpit).
If anyone has tried it and can let me know, I would really appreciate it!

How do you deal with public transportation during rush hour?

The metro/bus can be a nightmare for me. It’s crowded, hot, there’s barely any airflow, and people are standing very close to each other. Even if I’m not doing any physical activity, I can suddenly start sweating heavily, especially on my face, hands and back.

I’m particularly looking for practical tricks that actually work in real life.

My friend had a spare smartwatch and lent it to me for a few days. Man, I’ve noticed my heart rate is around 100 BPM while sitting and goes up to 140 BPM when I’m walking. I’m thin and have been going to the gym for 10 years. Can a high heart rate like this cause full-body sweating?

i just got prescribed drysol 20%. i sweat so much under my arms and boobs. those are the only two places i really need it. some of the itching and irritation that people have mentioned with drysol is scaring me. ‘prescription’ strength deo a lot of times irritates my armpits even tho i dont consider myself a sensitive skinned person.

is there a spot on the body i could try it first that wouldnt be so scary to test out like underarms or under boobs?

any tips that i haven’t already read here?

i just don’t know know the level of itching i could handle??? i’m scared yall!!

I’ve been using my machine for about 4 months now. I haven’t been super consistent (taking breaks for 2 weeks or more) when I do the treatment my hands and feet are very itchy!! To the point where it’s all I think about. I try not to scratch so I don’t cut my skin, but it’s non stop. Has anyone experienced this? Do you think I need to swap my towels out?

Hey guys,

I am about to try glycopyrrolate for my sweating but I want to ask about a rather specific situation to see whether glyco has helped anyone else.

Basically where my sweating gets really bad is when I find myself in anxious situations, in particular with the other people around. I tell myself I’m going to start sweating and then all of a sudden I feel like my body is burning hot from the inside out and I feel restless and obviously am dripping sweating from many places, and I know this happens all because I am anxious about the thought of sweating so I start sweating!

I really want to try glycopyrrolate for these situations but I think the anxiety from it is so bad that I genuinely cannot imagine it helping. Has anyone experienced similar situations and found glyco to help?? Also side note I also sweat a lot in hot weather or exercising too so I have more hopes about it helping for that.

Hey everyone!😊 Since i was young it’s always been apparent that i sweat a lot more than the average person! I was really self conscious about it growing up, especially at school. I could be writing on a piece of paper and the ink would run because the page would end up wet through. I’d avoid touching anyone’s hand because I know they would point out how sweaty I am. I’d try and avoid doing exercise where anyone could see because I’d be so embarrassed to how much I’d be sweating when no one else had even broke a sweat! I love being social and I love being active. Now I’m 20 I really want to get to the bottom of this. I’ve been to the GP a few times and I’ve tried every roll on, spray, and cream you could think of. As you may of guessed… none work. Along with this I’d just be told ‘oh well you may grow out of it’. Well here I am and I’m no different. I sweat from everywhere, I don’t have a specific place but especially my face and hands I’m the most conscious about. I’ve done some research into certain medications to help. I wanted to know peoples experiences with that and any side effects that come along with taking oral medications for hyperhidrosis. I have booked a GP appointment so I can hopefully try and find a solution 🤞🏼it would really change my life to get this under control so I can enjoy the things I love and not have to worry all the time 🙃

I saw a post about how some people don't absorb D3 (The common vitamin D supplement) and I am always a bit low on vitamin D when I get bloodwork done, so I figured I would try it. I got the amazon basics D2, and after 2-3 weeks I saw a HUGE improvement. Its been around 5 months now and I only get a bit of sweating when I am in a super anxious situation, but even then it doesn't compare to before. I have been shaking hands with reckless abandon and before my hands would be soaking wet just thinking about it. I have hesitated to share the results because I am certainly not a doctor, and you should talk to a doctor before adding a new pill to your life but it certainly has helped me a ton, to the point where I wonder if this was always why I had this problem. 30+ years with the problem and I have never come across an easier solution. Seemingly no side effects, just like 95% reduction in sweat.

For those of you who regularly take glyco, if you stop for a few days, do you get a lot of “rebound” sweat? I’ve been taking 2mg daily for a few years with only a few small breaks.

Today is my second day without taking it, and man it’s like someone opened up a faucet! Haven’t been this sweaty in a while.

I recently got Drysol and I’m using it pretty much everywhere. When I sweat I sweat everywhere and it feels like I’m in a swamp I hate it. Anyways, I want to put it on my back which I’ll need someone to do it for me, but I won’t have anyone to help me wash it off in the morning. I’m usually pretty busy first thing in the morning with no time for extra stuff. Has anyone not washed off Drysol the morning after? Did it affect anything? Make you sticky, ruin your clothes, etc?

Mam mega nadpotliwość i nawet w zimie gdy nie mam żadnego wysiłku mam po całym dniu mokre pachy i nie mam pojęcia co zrobić
Mam dziwną reakcje alergiczną na blokery potów nawet te, które mają nie uczulać a antyperspiranty na mnie nie działają
Byłem z tym u dermatologa ale on mi nic nie polecił na to, tylko żebym próbował różnych produktów ale już mi się kończą pomysły
Czy ktoś ma może podobną sytuację i wie jak sobie z nią poradzić

I genuinely don’t mean to sound dramatic but dealing with this problem was ruining my mental health. I was considering quitting my job because it was so embarrassing and ruining my self esteem with bad foot sweating and odor. It was causing anxiety. I felt hopeless trying all sorts of creams, powders, deodorants; even bleach for my feet and it’s only been 3 days and antihydral has my feet almost completely dry. I already feel happier- and it’s almost an odd physical feeling of having dry feet for once. Recently I damn near gave myself trench foot or athletes foot and was desperate. Thank you for those who suggested this

My hyperhidrosis acts like a ON/OFF switch with a continuous leak — I thought that this might help with research . I am sharing my symptoms in detail in hopes of finding better insights or potential cure. My hyperhidrosis functions almost entirely like a literal ON/OFF switch. The moment any single area starts sweating—whether it is my hands, feet, or underarms—every single one of those areas immediately starts sweating all at once. The underarms are slightly less severe than the hands and feet, but still very uncomfortable. There are times when the system is completely "OFF," meaning total dryness. However, once the sweating is triggered—whether by slight physical friction, heat, stress, or even out of nowhere with no trigger at all—it starts and simply does not stop. It feels like an open leak rather than normal sweating, staying permanently turned on until further notice. The only things that turn it off are going to sleep or extreme cold; washing my hands and feet and sitting in a freezing air-conditioned room usually resets it, though not always. Treatments like iontophoresis and Driclor make it harder for the "ON" state to trigger and reduce the continuous sweating. Winter is somewhat better, but the condition remains severe. This has been present since childhood, starting around ages 7 to 8, and it has been accompanied by excessive salivation (hypersalivation) ever since I was an infant. There is no family history of hyperhidrosis. Regarding common procedures, I will never risk ruining my body with ETS surgery. Many people seem dissatisfied with MiraDry, and Botox is temporary,extremely painful, costly, and ineffective for many, though I have not personally tried it.
Currently i use ionto its pretty good.

I shared these symptoms in detail hoping to find someone with an identical pattern, or perhaps to provide useful insight for researchers working on a definitive, side-effect-free cure. I understand that our patterns and underlying biological causes differ, and I have read into sodium channels like Nav1.7 and Nav1.8. Right now, I am at a critical, defining stage in my studies, and this condition is mentally crushing. Constantly overthinking and dreading how this will affect my future is severely taking a toll on my academic performance. I genuinely hope that ten years from now, all of this will just be a distant memory. When do you realistically expect this torment to end? While I try to stay optimistic about the rapid acceleration of medical technology, AI, and biotechnology, that optimism often fades when I remember how diabetic patients, for instance, have been told "a cure is only 5 years away" for over three decades.

I have always had hyperhidrosis (never even knew what my actual condition was until I discovered this community). My party trick has always been my dripping, sweaty palms.

Since about four years ago (I’m 30 now), the corners of my lips started cracking often. I initially thought it was sunburn (I used to live in a tropical country). But now I live in colder climate and my lip corners still get cracked during winter. I cannot survive without a lip balm anymore, even at home and while hydrating/drinking lots of water.

More recently, I’ve also developed dermatographism. I’ve been prescribed antihistamine medication which helped, but I don’t want to take it all the time.

I guess I’m just wondering if anyone else here experience similar symptoms? I still plan to get these checked by a doctor because I’ve always tried to treat them separately, but maybe it’s all connected?

I have just been prescribed Oxybutynin. Really happy.

So I'm wondering if you guys can help me out with how big of a dosage you are taking and also if you have any tips of when to take it and best way to use it?

Once a day? Twice a day? Everyday or in cycles? Morning/empty stomach?

As title says, I’m about to start a congressional internship and will be shaking hands a lot and have pretty bad hyperhidrosis. It happens rather randomly and I have tried the carpe stuff (didn’t work) and body powder which somewhat works but only briefly and my hands get all white. Does anyone have advice?

As soon as August ended, they turned the air conditioning down at my gym, and now I sweat a lot — even to the point of having drops of sweat running down my face.

I’ve been trying breathable micro-perforated T-shirts and I’m really happy with them, although most of them are a bit ugly until I find one I actually like.

But I can’t find anything similar for shorts or trousers. What about underwear? And shoes and socks?

For now, I bring one towel just for sweat and another one to use on the machines.
