I sweat horribly on my back and butt.
Like ring your clothes out soaking wet kind of sweat. I don't know why. Perhaps my body temp. is higher than normal.

How long has that happened to you? Is it possibly connected to your meager caloric intake and running?


Hyperhidrosis is a disorder characterized by excessive sweating that occurs in up to 1% of the population. The excessive sweating can occur in the hands (palmar hyperhidrosis), in the armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis), or in the feet (plantar hyperhidrosis). Although nobody understands the exact cause of this excessive sweating in specific individuals, it is known that the sweating is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.

Yeah, I read the link. My palms sweat needlessly sometimes. But it doesn't sound like that applies to him, since it doesn't specify back or bum.

Well i got it done....
I got injected about 25 times in each armpit. The doctor (cute female doctor) numbed my armpits but you still felt some of needles. Now it feels like the numbness is going away and like several papercuts under my armpit.

The results will take a week to take effect and i should get nothing to very slight sweating.
