My Sweaty Stories
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. “
Join Me at the Women For One Courageous Truthtelling Retreat
Many of you have asked me how I got up the courage to start sharing my sweaty story. It’s been a process over the last eight years as I’ve written stories on my hyperhidrosis blog. Each year, I’ve gone a little bit deeper and talked a little bit more about the things no one wants to tell you when it comes to living with hyperhidrosis. Things many people are too embarrassed or ashamed about to speak up.
Now, I’m inviting you to join me to learn how to do the same thing.
Guest Post: Hyperhidrosis in Massachusetts
Meet Anonymous, 33, from Massachusetts. She is a brave soul with hyperhidrosis who has chosen to share her sweaty story on mylifeasapuddle.com.
Excerpt:
“I tried explaining about hyperhidrosis and that at this point, wiping my hands on my jeans wasn’t going to do much. The exam proctors looked at me like I was crazy, didn’t have an inkpad to do a regular fingerprint, and suggested that they might not let me test.
Needless to say, I was in full panic by then and I don’t remember exactly how they decided to let me start the test, but I do remember sobbing quietly in front of my computer for several minutes before trying to pull myself together to begin the physics section.”

Guest Post: Hyperhidrosis in Seattle
I can’t pinpoint the exact age when I realized that I sweated more than most people, but I know it was sometime in early elementary school. I remember having to walk down the hall to gym or art class, holding hands with my classmates and being asked, “Ew, why are your hands so wet?” It was a phrase I have heard countless times in my life since then (luckily not always with an ‘ew’) and one that always makes me feel untouchable. Meet Erin from Seattle. This is her sweaty story.

Hyperhidrosis and Touch
Walking up to a massage booth and signing up for a 20 minute massage is not something I would normally do because of my hyperhidrosis.
How often do we avoid things that would be good for our health or help us to practice self care? I almost didn’t go through with what you see in these pictures below from the Wunder Life.
