My Sweaty Stories
Got hyperhidrosis? How’s your self-talk?
Today is #WorldKindnessDay. While it’s important to be kind to others, how kind are you to yourself?
Do you talk down to yourself because of your hyperhidrosis? 💦 Does your sweaty inner monologue sound like a freight train 🚂 of negativity?
Meet My Friend Jess. She Might Be the Youngest Hyperhidrosis Advocate in the World!
Please welcome my very special friend Jess from Liverpool, England. She is six years old and has hyperhidrosis, and she might be the youngest hyperhidrosis advocate in the world.
Jess’ parents, Hayley and Kevin, submitted their story to my blog last year. Right from the start, I felt a special connection with Jess and her family. We even had a Skype call earlier this year, and I got to talk to Jess and her mom (mum) for over an hour. It was hands down one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had since starting my hyperhidrosis advocacy work eight years ago.
Without further ado, please meet Jess.
Stand Together for Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month
This year, let’s Stand Together to bring awareness to the condition of uncontrollable excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis.
I’m standing up for you. I’m standing up for the men and women, boys and girls, and those who are gender nonconforming who have hyperhidrosis. And now, I invite you to join forces with me so that we can Stand Together for Hyperhidrosis.
Guest Post: Hyperhidrosis in South Carolina
Please welcome Dawn (45) from South Carolina to the sweaty tribe.

Hyperhidrosis at the Doctor’s Office
I almost didn’t post this because it’s so embarrassing.
This is what the exam table at my dermatologist’s office looked like when I stood up after my appointment…

Please welcome Ingrid from France to the sweaty tribe. Wait until you read about one of her coping mechanisms to avoid shaking hands with people because hers were so sweaty.
Hyperhidrosis Meetup – Boston
One of the most rewarding aspects of the advocacy work I do for hyperhidrosis is meeting people in person who have been personally touched by the sweaty work I’ve been called to do in the world.
Last week, I met “E” who shared her story anonymously on my blog.
Guest Post: Hyperhidrosis in California
Please welcome Kristen from Ventura County, CA, to the sweaty tribe.
Kristen says, “My family tells me when I was five, I would always carry a purse stuffed with tissue. I don’t remember this, but I can guarantee I had hyperhidrosis back then because stuffing purses with tissue or towels is something I have done my entire life to wipe my sweat. “
