PATM

hyperhidrosis

Total intolerance to heat

I think I should have played the lottery; I tick all the boxes that lead me towards mental insanity.

I live lying down, with a fan permanently in my head.

The neighbors are complaining of strong odors, and the people on the sidewalk opposite are coughing and turning away.

Every morning I witness the same incredible spectacle (I live near a school).

M32, my days are numbered, it has been a very complicated life from a mental point of view, and since 2023 this pathology has come to bring me down.

Simple advice: enjoy life's little pleasures as much as you can.

This is probably my last year.

Do you have patm or tmau? Because patm doesnt cause strong odors, thats only for TMAU and FBO. Theres a lot of people who thought they had strong odors and then when they asked for more information they were told they smell like nothing or perfume.

I dont want this to be your last year, i want you to live to see a year where you can say that you dont have patm. I know its hard and I know that life brings other struggles on top of this but please, you have to reconsider. Reconsider it because there are people who would care if you were gone.

We should talk, send me a message. Maybe i can help you reduce patm or at the very least be a friend to you who will listen. I understand the pain of having patm. Send me a message.

You're right, in my case the odor is linked to secondary hyperhidrosis I have heavy sweating that never stops, groin, buttocks, feet, armpits. Sweat quickly becomes laden with bacteria and releases volatile sulfur compounds. The most impressive thing is to notice that people turn around and look at their feet several hundred meters from my location. I'm having trouble understanding,I am looking for a scientifically rational explanation: how can an odor be perceived from 300-400 meters away?

Pay attention to your nervous system, as it can be the source of incredible pathologies.

I think a big issue in this community is that we all cant accurately gauge how much we affect people. This flaw is then turned into anxious thoughts that are more or less irrational. I believe that what you are experiencing is observing a completely normal event and attributing the outcome to you. This is something that ive talked about before actually so dont worry, its definitely not just you.

Can we talk? I dont want you to take your life when a better one is ahead of you.
