My daughter used Drysol for her excessive sweating and it worked great. She only had to use it for a short time and now she uses secret. It stings like hell but if you bare with it, it works. She only put it on at night when she was ready for bed.

You can get botox for sweating too

Hi, i use garnier 48 hour protection mineral roll on. Its doesnt sting at all even after shaving and its the best i've tried so far. Good luck

I have had a lot of sweating as well. My favorite antiperspirant is Degree. I have used the spray on my feet and on my thighs with great success. Then the solid under the arms. Since starting the Marshall Protocol I had a period of heavy sweating and now I sweat very little. Way cool, I had not yet realized how much that had improved.

Best to you.

Thanks all for your replies and suggestions, they are greatly appreciated! I think I may ask my physician to write me a prescription for the Drysol; I think Botox is a little too much outside my comfort zone. Especially when so much of what you read today links environmental aspects to autoimmune disorders.

I haven't tried the Garnier brand yet so I may give that a go as well. Right now I'm using Degree in men's strength and even that isn't working. I've also tried the clinical strength over the counter brands with little to no success.

i seem to sweat mainly under my arms and my head....especially at night...i dont know why its worse then..ive tried every deodorant know to man...certain dri didnt work on me...its hard with sjogrens because my skin is so dry but i stay so sweaty...ive heard very good things about mitchum..i havent tried it yet though

Hi all,

I came across this discussion when I was looking at the boards for MCTD (one of the posters for Lupus suggested I check out the MCTD group since I've been put on 50,000 IUs of Drisdol once a week for 3 months because of my very low Vitamin D levels) and noticed a lot of people mentioned having excessive sweating in conjunction with MCTD.

Did anyone have problems with excessive sweating at specific points in the month, or was the sweating a problem all the time? I've had severe hot flashes and night sweats for the two weeks before my monthly cycle and the two months after my cycle every month for the last 4+ years and have no diagnosis as to why this could be happening. I went to my gynecologist about 2 years into having this problem and had an FH/LSH blood test run to check my levels and make sure I wasn't experiencing early menopause (I'm 26, so too young to be menopausal), only to find out that my levels were normal and my doctor had no idea why I'd be sweating so much.

After going to my PCP about the issue (plus a couple of others), my doctor decided my problem was hormonal and sent me to an endocrinologist, who ran a ton of tests and determined that I had a weakly positive ANA test result and very low Vitamin D levels. At the moment, am trying to find a doctor who won't treat me like a hypochondriac for the extreme levels of fatigue and other symptoms I've been experiencing lately.

Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance for the help/suggestions! :)

* I should add that the Drisdol is doing nothing to help with my energy levels, despite taking it for the last 6 weeks, and my arthritis/sweating has only mildly tapered off since I started taking flaxseed pills once a night, but is still not completely gone; has anyone else had similar issues?

Many of us have sweating and fatigue. I'm on the Marshall Protocol. My symptom levels are fluctuating with the healing process. I went through a very lo0ng period of time with night sweats so bad that I slept with a towel on my pillow and another one close by to switch to.

I find Degree brand anti-persp. works well for underarms and feet. I believe Dove is the same.

As for the head and neck sweats at night, mine are very rare now that I have progressed in my treatment. I wish you all luck.
