When it comes to your hyperhidrosis, what are your fears about being excessively sweaty? There are many things those of us who have this condition worry about. While I may not be “afraid” of some of these things per se, they do make me think twice about how I might be able to prepare in advance. Here are some of mine, in no particular order:
- Walking barefoot on someone else’s wood or tile floors and leaving sweaty footprints behind
- Shaking hands when meeting or greeting someone and then watching in shame as they wipe off their hand afterward
- Networking events and having to shake multiple hands multiple times
- Holding a baby and getting him or her wet
- Crossing the street with a child and losing my grip on such a little hand
- Being able to safely lift and move furniture
- Carrying a stack of handouts around the office and then passing them out
- Applying lotion or sunscreen and not being able to wash my hands immediately afterward
- Going through airport security
I can think of a million others, but I want to hear from YOU. What are your hyperhidrosis fears? What does your sweating make you worry about? Leave me a comment below!
