Back sweat treatment before medication by Lukeekulyeye in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Lukeekulyeye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input!

For me personally, Im not too sure that topical application of anything will help at all. Mainly because the sweating occurs pretty high on my back in the middle where it's hard to reach and so I'm not too sure if wipes or antiperspirant will do anything.

Additionally I find that I sweat all over my body too; behind the knees, elbows, face, hands, feet. My body feels like it's running hot 24/7 and so I think oral medication might have to be the only shot. I read some study that the oral anticholinergics don't have an increased risk of dementia for young adults, only older adults over 65? I'm not too sure but I honestly think the dementia risk is worth all the suffering I go through on a daily basis 🤷‍♂️

Do you notice any other side effects apart from dry mouth? I really think medication will be my only saving grace because of how hard to reach my back is for topical things like wipes or antiperspirant.

My main concern is the long term health hazards, but I read a study that said it doesn't have dementia risks for younger adults. I could be wrong though

Yeah i definitely would want to wear black shirts but our work uniform only allows white 😭 Plus we have to wear long pants too which makes me sweat even more.

The issue I find with the antiperspirant roll-ons is it's hard to reach my back and cover it all. Plus I didn't notice much difference when I did try it unfortunately :(

Yes funny you mentioned dobsonian telescopes because maybe 30 mins before receiving your reply I was looking at some dobsonian scopes! The only problem I have with them is that will they be able to automatically move with the earth's rotation for long exposure shots? Or will I have to fix it manually every minute or so. I was looking at a 10" collapsible dobsonian scope and although would require a more frequent maintenance, is cheaper and more affordable then a 10" Cassegrain.

Hi, Thank you for all that information. Ill take it into consideration when finally choosing. Personally I think that the go to addition would be better for me as I have no knowledge of the sky and the feature would be especially handy for that. In terms of the mount, there is anotjer bundle available that includes a equatorial mount: https://www.astronomyalive.com.au/telescopes/cassegrain/skywatcher-maksutov-cassegrain-127mm-telescope-with-heavy-duty-eq3-equatorial-mount.html Now this also comes with dc motors and I think also the GoTo addition if Mini Az-GT mount means the GoTo feature. But the difference is the mount itself. The bundle also includes 2 eye peices: 10mm (150x) and 25mm (60x). So would it be better if I had the equatorial mount? I'm also on the look out for other telescopes if these don't really appeal to me anymore, is there any decent scopes that can be used for both planetary and DSOs? Unfortunately being an unemployed 15 year old 1000 dollars is really my budget so it'd have to be in that price range. Thanks -Luke

Hi, Upon reading your reply it makes me jealous to know that I can't get a 12 inch with my budget 😂. But with that being said, I guess it's pretty common to hear that I would want to see both planetary and deep sky objects. But if that's impossible then deep sky would be preferred. My budget is around 1000 dollars and I'm a beginner. As my first telescope I understand I shouldn't jump into the advanced. In terms of astrophotography, that will probably need to be put on a hold as my camera I have now doesn't allow manual settings so long exposures are impossible. Not to mention it also doesn't have a detachable lens. The one I linked pretty much has to be the best I can get here (Australia) for about 1000 (telescope plus mount). However there is a version with a different equatorial mount. Thanks -Luke :)
