hey guys n gals,
i've got this problem of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis. is what
they call it). i tried everything from clinics to pharmacies but
could find no cure for this problem. it really bothers me to know
that most ppl overlook this condition as something that isn't
serious. they tell me that its in my head and then i could get over
it. do you know what it feels like to explain to someone that you
just saw a ghost? its impossible! i've lived with this condition 10
years in my life, every second of it to realise that i'm not
hallucinating or delusional. i only know about this being a medical
problem recently. i am brimming with sweat and its always my face
and my handkerchief, while other ppl are bickering on their
handphones and doing with their hair. it feels unfair! i'm not
making the words look bigger, i am literally brimming with sweat!
it follows me everywhere i go. it affects my social skills with
people. a mosquito bite or two may bother you but it doesn't affect
you that much. a pail of water over your forehead bothers you and
sure it does affect you physically and emotionally. whats sad is
that ppl who aren't like me, well, they won't see the problem cuz
they dun have it. i'm sure most of us in singapore sweat
ocassionally, hey this is singapore right? sweating is normal which
is why i strongly emphasize the keyword HYPERHIDROSIS which is
EXCESSIVE sweating, a silent killer which is driving me nuts. BTW,
i tried em' all. drink less water and tried anti perspirants but
they don't work. i'm definitely not obese cos i have a workout
regiment. i'm a normal person i just wonder why there isn't a
normal cure for cases like this. help me...
