Hi there...
This is my first post here. I am 25, live in NYC and recently my hyperhidrosis has gotten so bad, I am considering leaving NY. This problem of sweating (hair, face and neck) has effected every aspect of my life and I am devastated. I have been trying to find as much information and support as I possibly can... but there just isnt much out there! I created a blog:
http://sweatyinthecity.blogspot.com/
and I really hope fellow suffers out there visit it and add input! While my life is wonderful and i have an amazing family and great friends... my uncontrollable sweating has begun to ruin my life! I feel we (suffers) need more outlets to communicate and discuss the difficulties we face everyday!
Trying to explain my sweating problem to friends and family is just impossible... they dont get it and they assure me that "it cant be that bad". They dont know how bad it is because I avoid them and they have never seen me riding the train with sweat dripping off me. Its only the strangers who stare or clients (i do real estate... running all over the city showing apartments in the humidity is hell) who truly see my disease in full effect. In fact... on a number of occasions I have had strangers come up and ask me if I am okay. They ask if I need to go to the hospital or lie down. "What possibly could be wrong with you? Are you about to faint? How does your heart feel? How many fingers am I holding up?" These have been some of my favorite questions asked by strangers/coworkers/clients.
Anyways... Like I said, I need to know there are others out there (any in NYC) who understand what I am going through?
Please visit my blog... its in its early stages. I am trying to figure out how to get it registered with google so when people try to look up "sweaty, hyperhidrosis, ect..." it pops up. Anyone know how to do that?
I am passionate about getting the word out about this shitty problem. Suffers need to come together and have a safe place to connect with other suffers!!
