Now take the number of accounts on Reddit, which is around 36,000,000. Divide that number by 365, which gives you 98,630 (we will round that to 100,000). Now we can work out that there was a 1 in 100,000 chance that the person you just replied to was Mike.
As a medical student, I can say that I have learned in lecture that the RDA for vit D is pretty low, and people can perhaps benefit from higher levels. However, I can't say that excessive sweating was a clinical feature we were taught to look for. However, I have heard it from non-reputable sources.
Omg. I recently found out my vitamin D is ridiculously low and months of prescription strength supplements hasn't brought it up. I start sweating if it's above like, 75 degrees. My head and face sweat the worst so I can forget about doing my hair or makeup for 6 months out of the year.
Or hiperhidrosis. My NCO in the Army has it, he'l could be butt naked in the snow and still have nice beads forming all over his Hotspots and his face.
Exactly! I live in D.C. Seeing all those non-sweaty ass people with their smug, "look at me I can wear a three piece suit in 80 degree heat" looking faces... Jerks.
I hear ya buddy. I HATE dressing up for this exact reason. My office is 68 degrees at all times, and when I have to wear a dress shirt and tie I know it's going to be a long day. Wish I could wear shorts to the office.
I've been putting off going to see a doctor about this forever. But it's getting to the point where it seems I can't do anything without breaking a sweat - sometimes it doesn't even make any fucking sense. Embarrassing and annoying to the point it degrades my quality of life because I don't want to go anywhere.
Not sure if yours is that bad but hope you can find some help regardless.
I used to be like this. I would sweat constantly throughout the day. Not overweight, just a sweaty female. Tried the clinical strength deodorant, didn't work. Getting dressed was such a struggle because I always had to think about whether what I put on would show sweat or not. Got prescribed anti-anxiety medication and it went away like magic! It's weird too because I never realized my sweating had anything to do with anxiety!
Yeah I suffer from social anxiety too. I've had the sweat problem my whole life so I don't think it's directly related but one certainly spurs on the other. Not a good combo as my face can go from desert to waterfall in like a minute.
I know exactly what you mean. And then you get trapped in this positive feedback loop where the more you sweat the more self-conscious you feel, which causes you to sweat more. I hope you find something that helps!
I can't wear light colored shirts because of how much I sweat. I have to keep deodorant with me at all times because I'm a hairy guy and I'll get funky quick if I don't apply it regularly during the day.
One trick is to wear an undershirt but then the problem is that the extra layer adds heat. I always preferred the extra hit to totally and obviously soaking a shirt.
Ive been meaning to see a doc for a while. I do wedding videography which is very physically demanding and I sweat buckets. Sometimes Ill be just standing still and start to sweat. I started calling around yesterday to see if any local derms have treated it
God I hate that. Try moving somewhere arid if you can. I'm the guy that sweats at 78F in Virginia. But in the California desert at 100F, I was cool and dry, while everyone else complained that they're hot.
it probably also has a lot to do with the environment you live in. I live in SE texas and it's essentially the goddamn amazon jungle (and i SWEAT), but when I go to Colorado I'm usually pretty dry (as far as standing around sweating)
I can't work out without people thinking I'm on steroids (not muscley at all) but my body temp shoots through the roof at any sign of physical exertion and I sweat like a bitch
My best friend, the star of our cross country team, sweats more during an evening of video games than on a 5 mile run. It always catches the rest of us off guard. We're all having a great time playing zombies or whatever, then you glance over and it's just pouring off of him
I'm 6'1" 145lbs. I'm always sweaty. It pisses me off to no end. Especially my clammy hands. I constantly wash them because I hate them feeling like that.
Having grown up in the high desert of northern Utah, and moved to the Deep South with all the humidity, I sweat buckets just sitting in a chair on the porch. More so than the "native southerners". At work, everyone thinks I'm on the verge of a heat stroke because of my sweating, since profuse sweating is supposedly a sure sign dehydration/heat exhaustion/stroke.
I do this for some reason too, like if I'm in a line at the cash register and there are other people, I will just sweat like I'm running a marathon. I don't know why
It is a curse. If my body temperature rises past a certain degree, I just sweat, no matter what. It could be the dead of winter, but if my coat is too warm, I'll sweat. Holding hands with girls makes my hands sweat. It sucks.
Holy shit!!! Me to! I was in this line and it was hot and sunny outside. I was getting sweaty back and I wasn't wearing underwear (big mistake) and I started getting sweaty lower crack/taint area.
This line was for a shower though.... And I definitely did lots of drugs n drinking the night before.
Going to buy and try on clothes is like the bane of my existence. I went to buy a suit the other week. Went for the spare t-shirt I had in my car half way through because of it.
I was in terrible shape until a few months ago when I started running (software developer and a computer science student, so I spend tons of time sitting at computers). Now that I'm in better shape I actually sweat less easily, but still a lot.
I sweat buckets when sedentary. There's no hope, sucks donkey balls when I have to do anything with my hands.
My guitar strings will literally rust within a short period of time if I don't lube them up with Vaseline or something before putting my clammy palms on them.
It's mostly my hands and feet to be honest, and the typical underarms. Those sweat excessively, but everywhere else is relatively normal - which is unfortunate, because I'd much prefer chafing to having to wipe my controller/mouse off every few minutes.
I used to be a fat lard and always attributed my easy sweating to it. Now I weigh roughly 15% less and am much more fit but I still sweat easily. It really is a curse.
Hey I sweat tremendously. But since I work out at the gym, I hardly ever do sweat anymore doing less intensive tasks such as walking or jogging. Even in 30 degrees celcius weather. That's like 90f
I started running a few months ago (up to about 3 miles per run at this point). I find I sweat less easily, but still sweat a lot. Its humidity that does it to me, even if its like 78 degrees (like it usually is in my house) I'll have swamp ass going on just sitting at my computer lol.
It's possible to both be "not fat" and "not have cardio".
Being thin doesn't mean you magically have better at cardio, it only means you aren't doing cardio with an excess 200 pounds on you.
I started running a few months ago and while I do sweat less easily, I still sweat more than most people. I just got done running 4.5 miles about 45 minutes ago so, I have cardio. I was doing it with excess of 200 pounds until last week, down to 198, but I'm also 6'2" so its not such a heavy weight for me. I just sweat very easily, even if I'm just sitting on my computer.
I am not fat but sweat a lot too. I have learned to adapt.. Dark shirts. Baby powder on my man-jewels. Gold bond powder in between toes. Everyday. Feel fresh all day.
I'm from the united states, but my heritage is: 25% swedish, 25% norwegian, 25% english, 12.5% irish, 12.5% scottish. So genetically I come from colder places.
I was in London the other day, on the hottest day since records began or something like that. The financial district is all glass and steel, so it gets hot quite quickly at ground level. I moved 2 boxes of glasses from afunction we had, and I was drowning in sweat.
Girl I'm majorly crushing on comes up: "Oh, have you been for a run? In this weather?"
I read somewhere (and you shouldn't take my word on this, I'm just some random asshole on the internet) that when you first start getting into shape your body actually starts sweating more easily because it anticipates greater exertion.
Same here, the 85 degree 80% humidity we've been having lately don't help either. I commute on a bicycle and I have to bring a change of clothes and show up 15 minutes early to work so I don't look like a mess everyday.
Me too. I'm a highly active person and am in great shape but if I run or exercise for a short time I start sweating everywhere.
It's weird because I don't sweat heavily during the day or even when it's hot out.
My body is so used to going to the gym for physical activity that whenever I move faster than normal my body responds like, "work out time? YEAH BEAST MODE." And I'm just like "Noooo body! These are normal stairs not the stepper!"
I know of no one that doesn't sweet afger running (ubkess were talking super short distance). I wabt to see this anomaly (also tell them to be carefull if overheating)
Shit, I'm from a climate in which it's pretty hot for at least the summer months and you can't sit outside without sweating let alone do some sort of physical activity.

This brings me back to walking again. There is no running speed in which I won't sweat.
