It's time to stop sweating!

I have been suffering from excessive sweating my entire adult life, and I've decided that it's now time to stop sweating for good!

Back when the sweating started, I was a teenager, and the extra sweat was so embarrassing! I tried everything to hide it. No antiperspirant would stop it, so I tried some pretty crazy things:
  • I wore a jacket year-round; since I lived in Florida, this was miserable for most of the year.
  • I tried stuffing napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, and even sanitary pads under my arms.
  • I went almost six months with washcloths stuffed under my arms.
  • I tried every over-the-counter solution I could find (nothing worked)
  • I even tried some type of herbal solution that was supposed to tighten the pores (it didn't work).
  • I gave up!
So what have I been doing since then? I've been wearing one or more undershirts year round. Does it work? Obviously not or I wouldn't be writing this blog! Most days I have to change an undershirt at lunch, so it's quite a pain. Likewise, sometimes I can feel the dripping when I'm giving a presentation at work; I absolutely hate it!

I'm going to try to figure out if there's a solution to my problem, and share the journey with you, then Internet reader. Maybe there are others out there with the same problem and we can find a solution together. Let's just stop sweating!
