Hey everyone, new member here. Guess that's pretty obvious though. I found these forums when I was looking for some way to modify my Drionic to take regular 9-volt batteries. I couldn't believe there was an entire forum devoted to people with HH.
I've struggled with palmar HH since I was a kid. Junior high/High school was the absolute worst time of my life. It's bad enough going through puberty and being the shy kid in class, put sweaty hands on top of that and look out. I didn't even know there was such a condition as HH until a few years ago. It was a major relief to find out that it was simply another crappy thing I inherited (anxiety being the other). I've managed to get through though. Hasn't always been easy; I'm a writer and a musician and neither job is very forgiving when my hands are pouring sweat at the drop of a hat haha.
Typically, I'm not bothered too much by the sweating. I'm nearly 30 and I've kind of grown accustomed to it. But whenever I have a big meeting or a good client to shmooze I use my Drionic a few weeks in advance to avoid any awkward moments of explanations. I considered ETS surgery several years ago, but I'm not willing to risk it. I work from home 90% of the time so I rarely have to shake hands with anyone, thank God. Maintaining dry hands with the Drionic is good enough for me.
Well, enough of my rambling. Glad I found the forum. I'll try not to make a nuisance of myself
Have a good day all!
