Ever since I was in elementary school I've had this problem of excessive sweating. Hands, feet, pretty much my whole body sweats. Since the weather has been so hot this summer it has been very hard to control.
I have been to the doctor before and was diagnosed with hyperhidrosis. I was prescribed Drysol a few years back. It worked at first for about 3 weeks. After that it no longer worked and the sweating came back more aggressive than it was before.
I can't help but think about how this could affect me as a nursing student. This problem has held me back from doing so many things (including wearing certain colors), and at this point, I'm not sure what else to do. Has anyone else had or have this problem? If so, I would love advice on how you dealt with it.
Thanks in advance!
