I am someone with Palmoplantar
Hyperhidrosis.
My hands sweat like a waterfall
When I become very nervous, or
It is very hot, and I hate it.
The way it looks now, I will probably
Have this for the rest of my life.
There are ways to prevent that though,
But my mom doesn’t want me to do
Anything that my doctor says that will
Make this sweating go away at least
Temporarily.
She thinks I can survive with this, and
I guess it is possible, but it is super embarrassing.
Not only do my hands sweat, but my feet too.
It becomes really bad when you can see the sweat
Dripping off my hands.
Sometimes when I shake people’s hands my palms
Are sweating, and after we shake hands they wipe their
Hands on a piece of their clothing, and it makes me
Feel very uncomfortable.
I really want this to go away, but if I don’t do anything
About it then it won’t.
I don’t want to have this problem for the rest of my life
Because I really hate it.
