This hot weather takes my anxiety through the roof as with my Addisons Disease my body doesnt know how to cool down when I am hot and I end up a sweaty mess wherever I go.
Odd comments like , ' oh is it raining',come to mind but I cant really blame people as it looks like that.
I have tried so many things ,cold gel things in my bra,cool towels,water on the wrists, cologne on the wrists, wearing cotton the list goes on.
Please be kind to sweaty people , sometimes we can't help it 🥵.

Oh dear, life is treating you roughly at the moment. I hope the only people who ask you if it is raining, are away from the windows so genuinely don't know.
I innocently asked if it was raining once, when a colleague arrived dripping wet. I mean, I could see from the windows it wasn't, but how did he get so wet? We worked on the 31st floor: he had taken the stairs!!!
I wish I had advice for you, but nothing but "keep your fluids up" and if you are low carb (especially if you are avoiding processed foods) add some salts to your water.
That sounds really tough. I agree with Subtle badger - plenty of liquid and enough salt - at least you can keep your health together. Sympathy is all we can offer for the rest - sorry!
Awwww, I was tested for Addisons but apparently not. Cortisol levels continue to be low and flushes come and go. I have similar symptoms at times and believe it's my hormonal imbalances which are so much worse the older we get ... Not very helpful especially as my face is affected most :-|, I definitely felt better when I weighed less, so maybe there's hope ...
Thanks for your reply and your concern. I am aiming for the LCHF diet but am still flushing my old habits away . I am trying to educate myself with it in the meantime and I have introduced seeds and full fat options.
The result so far has no effect on my Addisons but a really good effect on my hunger.
I have so much more to learn as I am a faddy, plain eater and need to expand my knowledge and skills.
Hi CautiousK, I feel for you,have similar problem with sweating,my thing is Hyperhidrosis,have had it since a child,you will understand the sweating,knowing what to wear on a bad day,peoples comments,how you accomodate the symptoms,how people react to touching hot sweaty,clammy hands etc,will say its always better when the weight isnt a problem,just starting LCHF,looking forward to cooler days !
