Sweaty betty, hidden lives hyperhidrosis documentary.

Hello all,

Just to let everyone know that the documetary I took part in for hyperhidrosis is being aired tonight. I am also starting up a support group for this. I have advertised about social phobia world

My group is called sweaty_betty07 thru google groups. I named the documentary as this is a nick name my family has given me:)
The documentary will be aired in USA some time this year but we have no set dates. It's about time the world knows about this afflicting medical condition and at last we are getting the advertisement we deserve.
Hyperhidrosis now has a voice.
Thanks and hope to see you there....Anne aka geordielasstx

sweaty betty: hidden lives

It is often remarked that ladies do not sweat, they perspire – yet some women really do suffer from a medical condition that provokes near-constant sweating. Hyperhidrosis can lead to frequent embarrassment and discomfort as even simple activities leave sufferers dripping wet. Hidden Lives meets the women who struggle with this rarely acknowledged condition and follows their individual journeys in search of a solution.

Among the women featured is American Anne Schouveller, who has become an expert in hyperhidrosis since being diagnosed with it seven years ago. She has set up a website called ‘Sweaty Betty’ to raise awareness of the condition. Anne candidly shares her experience of this mortifying affliction, which embarrasses her 12year-old daughter and forces the whole family to adapt their activities around her sweating.

The programme also explores the story of a cheerful 19-year-old woman whose facial sweating impacts on her social life and is aggravated by her job working in a hairdresser’s. Will a course of botox injections end her lifelong struggle with hyperhidrosis?
