Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2008 5:42 pm Post subject: Cant get a girlfriend...YES YOU CAN
This goes out to all who have posted about not being able to find a girlfriend because of their HH. I have had HH for my entire life and I am now 21. I have severe HH on my ENTIRE body especially my face, armpits, and hands. I was always made fun of by my friends and talked about by others. People can be cruel but usually they are really sensitive and just put on a show so that they can fit in. Ok let me get to the point here because I can go on forever. You can find a girlfriend!! I have always had girlfriends because I did not let my HH stop me. I am now with the love of my life who I have been with since I was 16. She knows I have HH, never ever commented on it, and fulllly accepts it. You know why? Because while my HH dragged me down, I simply excelled in other areas. And it is those other areas that will interest people (in this case females)....So just to prove it to you guys I am attatching a link with a picture of her and I to show how happy we are and that HH does not stop guys from getting girls!!!! Heres the proof.... http://s121.photobucket.com/albums/o236/nofinga911/Mina%20and%20I/[/img]
I've never had much luck myself, more out of self doubt and strong belief that no girl out there will be able to accept it that keeps me from even attempting even though girls show interest in me.
I know one guy who's been with a girl for a long time that I suspect has hyperhidrosis too. I've never actually brought it up and asked him but I think his younger brother has it too, so it is definitely possible.
I just figure it'd be better for me to find a way to get it under control before I try to get into a relationship (24 here and never been in one lol, pretty bad...).
I've had pretty severe palmar/plantar HH since I was BORN. Strange I don't see too many people that got it that young. I've had HH for 31 years so far.
Once I told my mom why my hands/feet sweat all the time, and that if I keep socks on, my feet don't sweat as much, she said, that explains it. When you were a baby you were always fussy and your hands were always wet, I thought you were hot so I took your socks off too, and your feet were always very sweaty.
If only I could have talked! I'd of been like, Put the socks back on you idiot!
But Iontophoresis was the only thing I found that lets me live a somewhat normal life. HH is still something you think about every day of your life.
I might try that Robinul as well though...
Just try different things man, I did gels, pills (20 years ago), roll ons, special deodorants, etc.. You just have to find what works for you.
I love all the positive words everyone has to say... Even though we are all sufferers were all there giving each other support. Maybe we could all find away to form a support group other then a forum...
Alot of the time I get myself down and I forget what its like to sweat normal. After any activity I do or if its a hot day I always make a comment to my friends saying damn im breaking a sweat how about you ?
I feel so out of touch with how its supposed to be haha
So I think like the rest of us we need to know poeple who are going through the same thing and perhaps be there.
Putting my trust on the line here but if anyone wants to be a support or have some support my email is craged

Hi,
Im new to this as I never joined anything like that b4. I been suffering with HH of hands n feet 4 about 30 years now. Its hell!!Its embarassing n it makes u feel disgusting as my hands n feet r wet n cold. It stops me from doing things, restricts what I wear n makes me avoid situations where people might touch my hands.
I tried drionic and it didn't really work. I have been reading the forums to c what other people do about it and read about Odaban which I used 4 2 nights. Yesterday my hands n feet were dry for the whole day. I didn't want 2 get 2 excited about it tough. 2 good 2 b true. Guess what? Used it again last night n 2day I have wet hands n feet again!! Disapointing!!
I am going 2 c a dermatologist to c if I can get glycopyrrolate cream as my GP said she couldn't prescribe it. Not lisenced! I am also thinking about taking tablets. Anyway, its good 2 no that I am not the only 1. I never met anyone around me with the same problem. People always say that Im making a big thing out of it!!!
