Abnormal Sweating
by Jasmine, Jun 13, 2001 12:00AM
For the last 7 years (i am 22 now)i have been sweating more than usual, especially under my armpits. it gets to the point where I need to change shirts many times a day to avoid the embaressment.I have tried different types of deoderant, but none have worked. i have heard about a shot that i can get every 6 months. What is wrong and do these shots help? (Botox?)

I don't have diabetes or glocoma (as far as I know) but these do run in my family. Also, is it possible that diet can some how impact the amount of seating? I used to drink alot of Diet Coke, but have stopped completely thinking that was the problem, but now I seem to sweat now even more...
