dealing with hh..

This is actually the first time ive spoken about having hyperhidrosis. Apart from my mum i've never had a conversation about how i deal with it.
My hands, feet and armpits are uncontrollable most of the time.
When i was 9 i seen a specialist that told me i would grow out of it and that it was because i was a nervous person.. i clung to it just dissapearing until i couldnt just believe that anymore.
Now more then a decade on and it's still here. I made it through school which was an absolute nightmare most of the time, a drank all the time because i didnt sweat when i was smashed and i made lame excuses as to why i wouldnt Hi-5 someone or shake hands.. or hold my boyfriends hand.
I have periods of dryness, like today i havent sweated at all, but that can change in seconds.
Im gettin married next year and i dont want to carry a beach towel with me down the isle..
I worry about paying heaps for treatments but im sick of living like this.

ahh i feel better now.. a little.

trust me you are not the only one. I have this problem since I was 12 and I have extreme hh. Its not easy thing to share with people. They think you are nervous which is why your palms are sweaty.
