ok, weird body tmi...im not cutting this, cause im too lazy. read or dont read, its not poop or pms related.

so, anyone who knows me in person knows im a heavy sweater...not like, long sleeve wool or anything, but perspiration :P i always have been...well, lately its gotten worse and i dont know if its medication related or what, but its really getting out of hand...its not so much the sweating that gets me, but whats been coming along with it..back in august when i was working out on the treadmill alot, i started getting what i thought was just bacne...it was gross, but i didnt think anything of it, more than, gross. so i got some clarifying body scrub which didnt really work..then i tried head and shoulders dandruff shampoo, cause ive heard that works...no worky...then i started getting bumps on my chest...then i started powdering my back cause i was also sweating a lot at work...dried the *rash* out, but didnt completely clear it up. god i hate the word rash...i tried benedryl. nothing. i tried moisture wicking undershirts. nothing. right now, im wearing a t-shirt soaked in apple cider vinegar...yes, really...its very attractive...so before you wonder why i havent seen a dr. i have an appt for next tuesday with a dermatologist. it would clear up and then come back so often i kept thinking id go to the dr and it would be gone and id look like an idiot. right now, its so bad, its like...really bad, compared to what it has been...sometimes it itches...it has to be sweat related cause its exacerbated by it. i also sweat while i sleep. since im cold when im not sweating, i go to sleep wearing heavier clothes, if i dont ill never warm up. then i wake up sweaty around the collar...i usually just wall back asleep, so i dont like, get up and shower and change clothes...and yes, i shower daily, and post excessive sweating. i dont shower when i wake up and then again after say, a dog walk, cause like...i dont know, i cant? my skin would peel off...so im really frustrated..its either hormonal, or medication related, but i just cant stop taking my meds...and they all have hyperhydrosis as a side effect...ive tried an anti fungal/hydrocortizone in case its something like that, and the apple cider vinegar is supposed to be good for yeast type things...my next step is to hopefully see one of the endocrinologists at work and ask her what she thinks...id really like this to stop before summer clothes come out, i feel really gross....
and this post, my friends, is a shining example of why lj is better than fb...
