Ok, so for the past few days I've been trying a gluten free diet to see if my hand and feet sweating would improve. So far, nothing has changed, though the fact that there aren't many things I can eat has gotten me depressed as well.
My hands and feet always get red, hot, and swollen which is usually the precursor to non-stop sweating as soon as I wake up and until I go to sleep. I've been thinking of trying a water or juice fast to see if that has any effect on it because I've just about had it with HH and I'm near the end of my rope. I have no more friends, no job, no one to talk to in real life about anything and I'm a complete loser and social outcast because of this "condition". I'm a 29 year old loser who still lives with his parents and its all because of this god damn "condition". It effects everything I do in my life and it is draining me of every last bit of energy I have.
I've seen so many doctors, dermatologist, psychologist, psychiatrist and tried EVERYTHING besides surgery (botox, iontophoresis, drugs which made my mouth dry and my head dizzy because even my EYES would be dry but still did not stop the sweating, topical treatments, various kooky substances and supplements) and it has had no effect.
It's like my hands and feet turn into bright red tomatoes and there is just nothing that can stop them from sweating. If I wear shoes, it's guaranteed that I will sweat the whole time. So, I've been exercising everyday and trying to eat a gluten free diet for a few days now and there's been no difference whatsoever. I'm almost ready to end my life this is ridiculous.
My aunt had the same thing and she wasn't happy, and she died when she was 33. I'm almost there I guess. It's like a never ending nightmare that I keep hoping I wake up from, but I never do. It's like I'm drowning and the water just keeps rising. Sleep is the only time I'm dry, and I live to sleep because at least my dreams are nice and fun.
