i think i have hyperhydrosis. i sweat nonstop even if i do nothing at all. i have no money but i heard of stuff that i could buy to prevent the sweating *armpits*. i asked my parents if i cud have some money to get it but they didn't let me and made me really embaressed.. well anyway they didn't let me buy the stuff so now since its like gonna be really hot soon i'm doomed to be walking around sweating under there all the time or wear lotsa lotsa clothes and still sweat but nobody will see but i will be really really uncomfortable if i wear layers and layers to cover the sweat in the summer. i've heard of putting on antipersperent and then putting baby powder ontop of it but it doesn't work, so what can i do to prevent the sweating? how come other people don't sweat and i do? i hate myself

This is a big pRoblem foR me also, so I know how you feel; I've been theRe, and it's not good. I Reccommend using an anti-peRspiRant deodoRant, followed by RegulaR baby powdeR [I've been saying that on this site since DAY ONE!]. The anti-peRspiRant of couRse helps to Reduce sweating, oR at least is said to, but in ouR case... neveR does. Then with the assistance of applying baby powdeR Right oveR the deodoRant, the poRes undeR youR aRm close, theRefoRe, moRe oR less tRapping the sweat in, so to speak. Honestly, this almost ALWAYS woRks foR me, but theRe *ARE* days when it's simply not good enough, and that can be a pain in the ass, so I usually make a point of caRRying some soRt of jacket. HeaRing that, theRe's this pRoduct people aRe talking about on this site, and even adveRtised on television called CeRtainDRi. Now, they say it can be puRchased at Wal-gReens, RiteAid, CVS, and WalmaRt, howeveR, EVERY SINGLE TIME I've been to the stoRe looking foR it, I neveR seen it on the shelves. NatuRally, this leads me to ask an employee wheRe I can find it, and they *always* tell me they've neveR heaRd of it, and they do not caRRy the pRoduct... which just leaves you speechless and with a feeling of, 'what now?' If the pRoblem peRsists, peRhaps you should consult a physician, who can supply you with pRopeR medication. Also, he can give you shots that kind of close up youR poRes, so sweating neveR Really happens again. I'm not shoRe if that's an option foR you, but I Recommend asking him foR moRe info. But whateveR you decide to do, goodluck fRom someone who knows EXACTLY what you'Re going thRough!! Hopefully I've been of some help; know that you can always come back to me if you need anotheR opinion. =D

I believe my genetics produce similar effect, though not quite as bad. What I do is never, ever, ever move from my computer. If I don't move, I don't sweat, with the exception of my mouse hand after a particularly long or intense round of UT.

I am sorry about your condition, And that your parents won't take it seriously. Over sweating is very very embarassing, even for adults. And it interferes with the quality of their life. Because of their condition they are to shy to go places and be sociable. I hope your parents change their minds soon. If not, then when you are a young adult maybe you can get the treatment on your own. Many people have to wait until they are adults to be able to afford it anyway. Surgeons and/or dermatologist, use BOTOX, yes the stuff that us supposed to get rid of wrinkles. They use botox to alleviate the symptoms of hyperhidrosis.
I hope you can hang in there, and that you can get help soon.
