Yes I am fat...5'5' 235lbs. I have lost 20 lbs the last two months and will continue to lose. I am 54 years old, am in menopause and also have hot flashes. This is not that...this is sweating with ANY amount of movement, I am not exaggerating...just standing at a wedding and talking the other night I was so sweaty makeup was off, hair was flat and my head was soaked. This is sooo annoying I cant even tell you. I spent time applying makeup, doing my hair, getting dressed up and then I'm a complete mess!! If I could live in my car with the fan/air blowing on me at all times I could prevent the sweating.... Is there anything I can do besides keep losing weight? I know alot of fat people without this problem, even my endochronologist said i shouldn't be that sweaty just because of my weight. But she checked my hormones and they were fine. I was put on effexor and it didn't help and now I have to wean off of them and that is aggravating.... I am diabetic and am on medications for it. The endo didn't suggest this was the problem either. I am so miserable and summer hasn't even started here in Michigan. Help...anyone ????
