I have some of the same problems too... society just doesn't accept for who I am....just wondering if you have armpit odor? that seems to be the problem I have more than any of the other symptoms....

you are not alone....

Hi Gyreld. I'm also from the Philippines and I'm new here. I have sweating in my palms which was very irregular. I tend to drop everything I hold because of my slippery palms. I found this group while researching for solutions. Did you had any treatment for your HH?

im really glad im not alone in this world. having HH is really a challenge for me in my everyday life. im 20 years old. i had this since grade 4. your just like me, i always wear socks when i go out. i always bring towels not handkerchiefs. and now, im challenged because i have to get my NBI. and it just stress me out thinking that i have to fall in line early in the morning which is hot and thinking that someone will have to touch my fingers that are sweaty for my biometrics. it just embarass me thinking about it. if you guys want to talk about it with me, email me, jmark00meipia@aol.com ty

@newu Yes sometimes I experience body odor mostly after long day work...being in a tropical country is a challenge as I have to take a bath at least twice a day during summer..I want to avoid body odor by choosing the food that I eat and drinking plenty of water.

@Solutionsfinder I know exactly what you feel... My HH I think is the worst..like my whole body could sweat like hell. :( I tried using driclor to my hands and feet...It is effective but sweat comes out from other parts of your body.

@wewimnotalone Yes that is also one of my major concern when applying for documents and ID's. It really bothers me and I can't help it. Im just lucky coz I am working at home and I never had to get any valid ID's docs, etc. I can really feel your pain friend..You are not alone we are not. ..I suggest you to open up and ask help from your family.

I feel all your pains my friend... I live in southern US where it is very humid and it definitely makes an already tough problem worse

It really feels good to do sharing with you guys.. :) Thanks for all your response..I want to make friends to all of you!

I feel you, i too am living in the philippines (and i sweat alot at times when it's super cold and everybody's freezing) i just started work, everybody thinks i have social anxiety disorder but the truth is i just move away from people due to my super sweating problems. it's like i need temperatures of 10 degrees celsius just to make sure my body won't sweat i've never had a day without sweat it's starting to freak me out due to social problems and work. sometimes when i'm with my closest of friends i could be free of problems i could where my cotton gloves and socks in front of them and not care. but it's different with other people

hello there new guy.. Im from ph also, and likeyou ive been battling this embarassig disease since childhood. way back when I was still in school, its really hard because you feel different and awkward because a lot of times you have to avoid social gatherings to save yourself from embarrassment. .
my ua used to sweat alot but when I tried this thig I saw on the internet it really works, but unfortunately not effective on my palms and feet..

I live in the tropics and it is a nightmare going to any social event knowing I'll have to shake hands. I usually grab a cold drink, then when I do shake hands, my hands will be cold and wet from the drink, which seems more normal.

@itsallgood - I like that strategy!! :-)
We have to do what we can, right?

ETS helped me with sweaty hands (it was never my palms, but always the top of my hands, and arms, dripping) but now I sweat elsewhere and still have the same anxieties, which have amplified over the years. For social gatherings I use medication (methanetheline bromide) which really helps me. On a day to day basis I try to deal with it and give myself what I need to feel comfortable without judging myself. In my case this means bringing a change of undershirts for work, use a space heater and wear many layers without feeling stupid. I sweat when I'm cold, which makes me feel colder, which makes me sweat more. I also sweat when I'm nervous, which I am a lot, because of the sweat.
I also sweat when I'm hot. It's very difficult to find the right temperature because that's not the only thing making me sweat. The anxiety is the main culprit for me. I'm working on that, but it just takes a loong time...

A newer way of doing ETS might be a solution for hand sweating. I suffer from a lot of compensatory sweating from my ETS 13 years ago, not sure if I would do it again knowing what I know today. But then again, I can't know how I would be doing without it...

Hang in there, everyone.
