Hi,
sorry, 4 not replying earlier. I couldn't find this page!!!Ignorant about how to use this. Yes, I live in London. I am Brazilian but been here 4 20 years. Still trying Odaban but doesn't seem 2 b working.Three nights now. Will stop it 4 couple of days n try again. My family asked me why Im so bothered about it now. Only people that have HH knows how it feels like. In a way, I managed to achieve a lot of things in life despite having it but I still find it horrible especially when u shake hands with someone n they say: "Your hands r cold!!" I work with children n find that it is easier to deal with them as they r more accepting. Dealing with adults is still quite difficult for me. People that r close 2 me don't seem 2 mind it but I find it very uncomfortable. Doing things is scary too. I am going 2 Yoga classes n I know if my hands/feet start to sweat I'll find it very difficult to cope as I know my hands will b dripping and the yoga mat will have a wet patch. I am an anxious person n it doesn't help with the problem. I have seen a therapist in the past and going to start it again but I know that therapy is not going to stop the sweat. Also tried hypnotherapy.
Did you go to your appointment to get the cream? I would like to try it too and also the tablets. Anything that helps.

Listen, don't let it get you down. I have suffered from underarm HH since I was in 8th grade, and face HH too, although I just thought my face sweated a lot. I only put a name to it a few years ago, and tried lots of shit before I found something that worked. Despite my sweaty armpits and sweaty face, I still have slept with more women than I can even remember. I wore a lot or black or white clothing or fabrics that you can't sweat through. I got really good at hiding it. I do what is called the sweat test when I buy clothes. I put the garment in my mouth for like 5 seconds when noone is looking and if i can see a wet mark on it, I don't buy it. I recently got an iontophorisis underarm drionic and it has kept me dry in the armpits for 3 days. I won't go buy a new wardrobe just yet, as I want to see how long this lasts. My face still sweats, and I buy those packs of small shop towels from wal-mart automotive and carry one around most of the time to wipe my head and face. I have a buzz cut so I don't have to worry about it fucking up my hair. Chicks seem to dig the Justin Timberlake look. Also, nice ta tas on your old lady in those pics posted. This must be a genetic disorder, because me and you have the same nose, so I bet we are related. My last resort for this disease is to move to a place with a really hot temperature, so that everyone will be sweating, and I won't be so noticeable. California anyone?
