It really blows even though it doesn't smell at all, the amount of sweat just gets uncomfortable and all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34307769.post-64177303946678915932007-08-28T19:27:00.000-04:002007-08-28T19:27:00.000-04:00I don't have hyperhidrosis according to the quick ...I don't have hyperhidrosis according to the quick test I just took.

People who sweat excessively may have a condition called hyperhidrosis.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hyperhidrosis is sweating in excess of what is necessary to maintain body temperature. Generally speaking, the condition has no cause, although certain diseases or disorders can contribute to having hyperhidrosis. People seek treatment, both non-surgical and surgical, for hyperhidrosis when it has a significant impact on their quality of life.<BR/><BR/>Hyperhidrosis can affect the palms, underarms, feet, face, and/or scalp, or combinations of those areas.<BR/><BR/>The severity of hyperhidrosis depends on the individual. Patients may have problems at work or school because of excessive sweating on the palms, which can make it difficult to function. The University of Minnesota soon will begin using a device that seeks to objectively measure sweating to evaluate how treatments are working.<BR/><BR/>Generally, there is no cause for hyperhidrosis, although certain psychiatric or metabolic problems can lead to the condition.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Treatment & Remedies<BR/><BR/>Non-surgical treatments include anti-perspirants, medications, botox, and iontophoresis (mild electrical shocks). The success of non-surgical treatments varies depending on the severity of the person’s condition and the location of the excessive sweating.<BR/><BR/>Surgical treatment includes minimally invasive surgery to interrupt the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. This is done on an outpatient basis.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Or maybe you just totally blow. <BR/><BR/>It is a coin flip at this point. Until some hard data is published to support either side this is an endless debate not unlike that of the NAACP vs. PETA saga of 2007. <BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.healthtalk.umn.edu/healthtalk/kare/hyperhidrosis/home.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34307769.post-34004109018601808562007-08-27T13:43:00.000-04:002007-08-27T13:43:00.000-04:00Thought you might enjoy this....http://www.youtube...Thought you might enjoy this....<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww<BR/><BR/>FredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34307769.post-73761034789528883342007-08-27T13:02:00.000-04:002007-08-27T13:02:00.000-04:00TMITMIJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664016164290922145noreply@blogger.com
