Sweating

Posted by wittsend @wittsend, Dec 6 1:37pm

I’m struggling to find answers of what is going on with my body. I’ve been to several different specialists along with multiple visits with my PCP. I’m not sure where to go next so I found this wonderful sight and decided to try this Avenue. These are my symptoms and conditions. I had gastric Bypass about 3 years ago, have GERD, allergies, allergy induced asthma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, type 2 diabetes, IBS, lactose intolerant-just found out, HSV2 only found out last year. Had high blood pressure but not any longer. Was taking HCTZ.

My A1C is 5.4 and am not on anything but do take ozembic for additional weightloss, I take singular, nexium, buspar, Zoloft, ziprasidone, Ativan, valtrex, I take the following supplements and vitamins: probiotic. Hand skin and nails, vitamin D, biotin, magnesium, ginger root, iron, stool softeners, zinc, calm aid, Sudafed, collagen peptides and sometimes Benadryl and Flonase.

I am in my late 40’s, sporadic period (im premenopausal). I have started having heartburn, bitter metal. Taste in My mouth, taste of infection at times in the back of my throat, excessive seating in armpits and groin that smell at times, gas bloating, diarrhea or constipation, exhaustion, cold sweats at night where I wake up drenched even my hair I check my blood sugar and it’s usually around 90-115. I am now starting to retain water in my calves and ankles. I’m also starting to get random cystic like pimples again on my face front and back of my neck mostly at hairline and in hair , arms upper and lower, shoulders, and breasts.
I mask any time I leave my home bc when out in public ppl make comments. My coworkers are making comments and complaining about the smell everyone is avoiding me so im afraid I am going to lose my job. I don’t want to leave my house or visit with family. I don’t know what is happening.

I just recently had a large kidney stone and have other small ones in my kidney. Urologist said kidneys function great. Had colonoscopy only issue is a tag. Tested for H pylori negative results. Dentist said no gum infections or plaque. I have good oral hygiene. That being said I still increased my oral hygiene I brush, floss, gargle with warm salt water with peroxide and tea tree oil eucalyptus oil lemongrass oil and tongue scrape. No improvements to report.

I have tried tea tree body wash different deodorants and antiperspirants in groin and armpits. PCP put me on glycolorate (??) I didn’t see a change and could not tolerate the side affects had a headache 24/7.

I’ve did more research and am going to try zinc soap, witch hazel and glycolic acid moisturizer in my armpits and groin.

I’m going back to my PCP next week and have an appointment with an ENT at end of year

Anyone have any ideas what this could be or where to turn next for answers.

It could be as far as I know menopause related, diabetes related, or anxiety related but don’t know how to tell if any are the cause. If I had to assume I’d say anxiety related or menopause since my diabetes is controlled.

Ideas??? Anyone??

It does sound like perimenopause to me if these are new symptoms for you. You may want to have your hormones tested to see if anything could be done to help treat your symptoms. I am in my mid 50s and going through perimenopause/menopause is much more difficult than people realize. Many women suffer and many do not empathize or understand how difficult this transition is for women. It can really heighten anxiety/depression, sweating/body odor, etc. and turn your life upside down.
