When Sweating Makes Your Life
Miserable
Jorge suffered from a common
disorder that made his life miserable for over two decades.
He avoided parties, avoided dating, avoided playing the
sports he loved. He said he was constantly embarrassed.
Jorge had suffered from excessive sweating since puberty and
at the age of 34, decided it was time to do something more
than wear extra undershirts and carry extra shirts and
jackets to work each day. The rest of Jorge's story
below...
Hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes excessive
sweating, affects millions of people in this country. It is
actually a malfunction of the sweat glands and when most
people would not be sweating at all, a hyperhidrosis
sufferer might find himself (or herself - this condition
affects as many women as men) can be dripping
wet with sweat.
If you're constantly worried about raising your arms or
wearing certain colors for fear your "secret" will be
exposed, you may be a victim of hyperhidrosis, now an easily
treatable condition.
The embarrassment associated with this condition has severe
psychological ramifications, often with negative impact on
career, relationships and self esteem.
Although some sufferers find a prescription-strength anti-perspirant
used daily to be a control measure, the vast majority of
those with hyperhidrosis are dissatisfied or disappointed
with topical products.
Botox is an FDA approved medical treatment for
hyperhidrosis. Injecting small amounts of this
mini-toxin into the skin containing the hyperactive sweat
glands can
control sweat production for more than 6 months.
Jorge has had 2 sessions
of Botox for hyperhidrosis in the past 13 months and has
declared himself a "new man." He's engaged to be married to
a woman he hugs often, now owns 6 blue dress shirts - a
color he never dared wear before - and is part of his
company's basketball league.
He says, "I wish I'd known
about this 20 years ago. I can't believe what a huge
difference it's made in every single day of my life! If I
have a hero, it's Botox."
