Let's talk about hyperhidrosis
Yup, let's talk about sweating more than is required for the body to keep cool.
I know it's not something that is talked about in public because it's quite embarrassing, but I imagine with an active community of over 3700 folks here that someone else would have this problem.
I'm here to tell my story in case someone else doesn't know where to go to get treatment. Since I don't particularly want to announce this in public to anyone but my fiancee, I thought I would highly recommend this treatment on CalgaryPuck to anyone else who may be going through the same thing.
Anyways, I sweat, a lot. Much more than is considered normal. I sweat when sitting on the couch watching TV. I sweat immediately after getting out the shower. I sweat non stop at work. And then, I sweat when others are expected to sweat, but a lot more. Despite being able to hide it by wearing lots of black or moisture wicking shirts, it was still uncomfortable to go about a day to day routine, and many of my shirts were ruined pretty quickly with antiperspirant stains.
So, after getting tired of going through black golf shirt after black golf shirt, and multiple changes of clothes a day, I decided to do something about it. Upon the recommendation of my fiancee's co-worker, I went to Vive Rejuvenation to get treatment. What they do is inject Botox into the armpits, around sweat glands, which temporarily blocks the signals to your sweat glands to sweat. 3 days later and the sweating is completely gone. The nurse advised that this treatment works for 4-6 months for most people.
So, that's my story. Hopefully someone out there can be helped by reading this!
