I get it all over my body but it's more a clamminess from wearing lots of layers because I get so cold so I've taken to putting tissues under the layers! I am premenopausal but I've been like this for years.

me too...at first it really got to me because I was never a sweaty person before,it still bothers me dont get me wrong.........but not as much as at first.

I just thought it was all the extra effort that I had to do to mobilize! sanex deoderant is great I find its strong like a mans one but has no smell so while I sweat like a man...I dont smell like one..which is a plus! :-)

Dont worry we all get this with fibromyalgia we can not control our internal thermometer. like going througg the change we run at hotter temperature and we sweat alot. i have to wear a black polo tshirt to work rather then light blue shirt due to sweating so much. It was horrible everyone was cold and had jumpers and heating on i was in tshirt using a fan lol. Hope this helps.

Thanks for this, I thought it was just me - I'm always hot - although its only in the last year that the underarm perspiration has become a problem.

Ohhhhhhhh I had no idea about this. I'm either freezing cold or boiling hot and thought it was all to do with age (I'm 46) but it's been going on since I was 38.

I've just found that Dove 48 hour one works well for me (maybe not for 48 hours, but at least through the day!)

Had this same problem for years. Chemist recommended Driclor and it works by stopping underarm sweat. Only found out last year that you can have it on prescription (3 roll-ons at a time). Someone posted a few days back that there is medication to stop the flush sweats Clonidine, but I have yet to ask my doctors for it. I hope this helps you
