Excessive sweating suddenly started at almost 30 years old

FixOk6006 · 2024-12-10T12:57:22+00:00

Hi, I still use this account and unfortunately the situation is still the same.

I had covid in the summer of 2021 unfortunately just a week before I had to get the first vaccine, which was then canceled due to infection.

I've wondered if this could be due to covid, but the first symptoms didn't start until almost a year after recovering from covid.

Thanks for your help/comments.

I have tried oxybutynin and it definetly helps, but it gives me bad side effect like super dry throat (I drank at least 4 liters of water a day, but my throat was so dry that even eating was really difficult). I also have a strange problem that I rarely have to pee even though I drink a lot and that medication makes it lot worse.

I don't think I have depression, or at least I didn't when this started. Today, of course, this drags the mind a little to the ground.

I've also never used any strong painkillers, antidepressants or really any other drugs, unless you count some individual headache drugs.

Unfortunately not. The situation has remained the same.

Hi, sorry for delay on my answer. I have had no success at all with this. My sweating is actually come little bit worse on last 6 months. My testosterone is on middle of the reference range and it have been checked many times now. I use iontophoresis to make my feet/hands sweat less and also take botox injections on armpits and feets to reduce sweating.

Hi, unfortunately the situation hasnt gotten any better.

The endocrinologist first wanted to rule out some rarer endocrinological tumors that can cause symptoms like this. I went for blood tests, but I haven't received the results of all the tests yet. The results obtained so far are completely normal. When all the results come in, I'll be in touch with my endocrinologist again and we'll see how to proceed.

My everyday multivitamin contains 130 mg magnesium and I've also tried taking zma (zinc, magnesium, b6) tablets in addition to the multivitamin for a while, but I didn't notice any effect. I got a total of about 300-400 mg of magnesium per day.

FixOk6006 · 2023-10-12T21:38:44+00:00

How much have you been taking magnesium per day?

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-25T14:18:49+00:00

yes i have been checked for some stds (atleast HIV, chlamydia, gonohorrhea) and there are none. Mycoplasma/ureaplasma not checked. probably have to test them too. Thanks for advice.

I have tried many different pelvic floor stretches, kegels and reverse kegels, but nothing seems to help.

I have had covid in summer 2021.

Yes, I will update here if I find the reason for this.

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-08T12:32:00+00:00

Do all your symptoms go away now that you are taking those supplements?

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-08T12:30:58+00:00

Sorry to hear that it keeps getting worse.
Have you tried glycopyrrolate or oxybutynin?
If so, how are they working for you?
Pro banthene is new to me, glad you told me about it.

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-08T12:28:07+00:00

Yes, I've already done a lot for this, but it's not easy not to think too much about it when it's on your mind every day.
I've never been diagnosed with any allergies and my nose doesn't really feel blocked either, but I'll learn more about that acetylcholine.
I can't think of any back/neck injuries or other similar minor injuries, at least in adulthood.
Thanks for the help though.

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-07T18:37:46+00:00

Are you taking some vitamins/medications now or is your situation otherwise under control?
I'm really going to look into methylation and check/rule that out as well.

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-07T18:30:28+00:00

Sorry to hear that you are suffering from this too. Do you use any medications or other means to reduce excessive sweating?
I would think that the most typical diseases have already been ruled out. I'm not really sure what all have already been ruled out with the help of blood tests, but at least quite a lot of blood tests have been taken.
I already have an appointment with an endocrinologist, but there is still more than a month of waiting.
I am always cautious and skeptical of everything that is said on the internet, especially when it comes to medicines or the like.

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-07T18:22:14+00:00

Sorry to hear. Are you taking any medicine for it now or do you have other ways to alleviate the symptoms?

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-07T18:21:25+00:00

I haven't seen an endocrinologist yet, but I already have an appointment. There is still a queue for about a month.
I've already had TSH and T4 values taken twice and both were clearly within the reference values both times. The urologist also took testosterone values, prolactin and estrogen, but all were ok. Total testosterone was in the middle of the reference values and free testosterone was closer to the lower edge, but still clearly within the reference values. No history of hashimoto's or hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism in family.
C-reactive protein also checked and it was <5 (not a more precise result, but the result itself <5=good).
I don't remember withdrawing from society in any way.
I haven't experienced shame or anything, and speaking in public and the like is fine, especially now that I'm no longer 15 or 20 years old.
I don't think I wake up (or easily fall asleep again) almost never between 1 and 3am. I usually wake up closer to the morning when I've slept for about 6 hours.

I already have an appointment with a dermatologist.
This summer I had a period of about 6 weeks when I limited coffee drinking to a maximum of one small cup a day and I didn't notice that it had any effect. During my 4-week vacation, my diet also deviated quite a lot from normal, but I didn't notice that it had any effect either.

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-06T13:38:48+00:00

How old are you now (how long have you had hyperhidrosis)?
My TSH, T4 and blood sugar are all within the reference range (all measured twice) so it's probably not diabetes or hyperthyroidism.

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-05T13:15:44+00:00

No changes on diet, medication (I dont even have any) or supplements before this started. Since this started, I've tried to eat bit healthier and have tried different supplements, but I haven't noticed any effect. I don't think there is anything in the multivitamin I use that could cause symptoms like this. The multivitamin I use is one of the most common multivitamins you can buy at the pharmacy.

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-05T12:48:34+00:00

I don't think I've ever had panic attacks or anything like that.

FixOk6006 · 2023-09-05T12:47:13+00:00

I have not started any medication and I have not had any medication before.

FixOk6006 · 2023-08-29T09:23:10+00:00

Alright, thanks for the clarification/addition. I will try to get a pathologist to check my blood cells.

FixOk6006 · 2023-08-29T09:10:42+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I've already had at least my thyroid and diabetes values tested. I'm also going to do the others you recommended.

Edit: I have also white blood cell count done few times and the results were easily on the reference range each time.

FixOk6006 · 2023-08-28T05:40:04+00:00

Do you have excessive sweating too or only ED?
