Its been some time and now I'm back. So where was I.... o yeah I was talking about my sweating an anxiety problem in high school. Sweating and anxiety were big problems but I had even more problems. When ever my hands and feet would be sweating the would be in pain. They felt real tight as if I clinching my fist real tight. I would always keep my hands in my pockets because the where so cold. It would make sense to keep them out to dry but it would be too painful. I would where long sleeve shirts and pull them over my hands so the could be warm but that caused my sleeves to get wet. All in all I was always uncomfortable. I just hated the sweating so much. You can only imagine how hard it was to participate during PE courses. I remember running and working out in the weight room at school for about teen minutes and being drenched in sweat. Yeah I know people sweat when they work out but I would sweat so much and get so dehydrated I would almost pass out. I have been told so many times that I should drink more water but little do people know is that I drank water like crazy during the day. I would drink 64 ounces of water a day because I would always feel so thirsty. I remember coming home from school and having such a bad headache and throw up a lot. I would always feel like I had a fever and overheating. I hated how I would always feel, I didn't socialize to much in high school and realy hated human contact and talking to people.

ETS & Quality of Life

This is the first time I have ever blogged about anything so you would think it would be hard for me to blog about something, but it really isn't. What better to blog about than one of the most significant events in my life. My experience with ETS surgery has been life changing. I have had many ups and downs through the years since I have had the surgery. To deal with some of the hard times I have had over the years I have turned to talking to people. This solution has always helped. I want to share my experiences over the years since my surgery. But first lets go back before my surgery. Since I was a child I have always had a problem with excessive sweating. I would always feel hot and perspire even in AC. My hands and feet would always feel wet and clammy I would have anxiety attacks and feared that people noticed how much I would sweat. So you can only guess how hard school was for me. It was tough. My sweating seemed to be its worst when I was in high school. I figured it was because of anxiety so I looked into solutions in stopping anxiety. Breathing techniques helped me out but only to a point. My problems were a bit bigger than trying to control my breathing. But for a lot of people learning breathing techniques can be more than enough to stop anxiety, and reduce your sweating. People should always explore this solution first before moving on to any others. I hope this can help you out if you are reading this and looking for a solution to deal with the problem that you have.
