Last night... Dancing till dawn and not a drop of sweat!!!

What is going on with my body?? I mean-seriously! Last night I went out for a friends birthday. We started at a bar and then worked our way to a club... now USUALLY I would avoid this situation at all cost! But when we were at the bar we were sitting outside in the back and it was pretty cold so I hadn't started to sweat (thats the deal breaker... once i start to sweat- it's over!). So we went to the club and I was dancing all night without even a "glow"!

It's so weird how my body regulates it's own temperature. I mean... in a hot club where I am dancing for an hour, I stay dry. Then on a cold day, walking to work... my hair is soaking and my pit-stains are meeting in the back! I don't get it. I am just thankful that I had fun last night and got to be social because as summer gets closer my nights out with friends will be few and far between because I have to hide... cant let them see me when I am profusely sweating!

Does anyone else in New York have Hyperhidrosis?

Thats right... I'm starting this blog for purely selfish reasons. Suffering from Hyperhidrosis is painful and embarrassing and its not something you want to talk about with friends. An anonymous blog is my best chance of trying to find other suffers who understand what its like to be drenched with sweat at the sound of the weather man saying humidity is in the forecast. Trying to be a successful real estate agent with sweat running down my face, into my eyes, dripping off my chin, well... it just makes the whole "professional" thing a little difficult. As we are nearing the summer months, I am beginning to wonder if I need to take a break from my career (which I love by the way) just to avoid all the activity and hustling around the city to show apartments. Has it really come to this?
