Help me reduce hyperhidrosis. It makes my life miserable.?

I've posed this question before. Thanks to those who answered. But I still need help. If it cannot be solved/reduced, at least an alternative. It worries me more when i sweat profusely during my meal. What's is the cause of it?

Help me reduce hyperhidrosis. It makes my life miserable.?
Overview


Sweating is a natural phaenomenon necessary for the regulation of an individual's body-temperature. The secretion of sweat is mediated by a portion of our vegetative nervous system (the Sympathetic Nervous System). In some people (approximately 1% of the population), this system is working at a very high activity level, far higher than needed to keep a constant temperature. This condition is referred to as hyperhidrosis.


Classification and Causes


Causes


* primary = essential = idiopathic (unknown cause)


* secondary (known cause)


Locations


* palmar (hands)


* axillary (armpits)


* plantar (feet)


* facial (face)


* truncal (trunk)


* general


1. Hyperhidrosis as part of an underlying condition (secondary hyperhidrosis)


Some conditions can promote excessive sweating, as a rule involving the whole body:


* Hyperthyroidism or similar endocrine diseases


* Endocrine treatment for prostatic cancer or other types of malignant disease


* Severe psychiatric disorders


* Obesity


* Menopause


2. Hyperhidrosis without known cause (=primary or essential hyperhidrosis)


This is a far more frequent condition than secondary hyperhidrosis and appears, generally, localized in one or several locations of the body (most often hands, feet, armpits or a combination of them). It usually starts during childhood or adolescence and persists all life. Nervousness and anxiety can elicit or aggravate sweating, but psychological/psichiatric disturbances are only rarely the cause of the disorder.
Reply:hey where are you from? try visiting your dermatologist, there is a machine that will help reduce excessive sweating, I've seen it on TV, you might wanna try it for yourself
Reply:My daughter suffers from it and there is a prescription for it..You only have to use it once a week after the initally start. If you email me, I'll call her and get the name of it for you. It works wonderful for her..she's been using it a couple of years now.
