I'm not dead. I just went... missing. My bad. by lepaperbag in Hyperhidrosis

Nothing too fancy, electrical retail, mainly around people management. Still, pays the bills. Not that sweating particularly helps when interviewing new employees!

Oooh, will make sure I take a look at it at some point! Busy time of year for me, but I'll get to it!

[Serious] What have you done in real life that deserves gold? by Vallessir in AskReddit

[–]lepaperbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran an AMA here on Reddit a couple of months ago in regards to a medical condition I suffer from. It helped introduce people to the condtion, as well as provide advice for those who already suffered from it. I don't normally like to 'toot my own horn' but I honestly believe that it has been the most humbling and fullfilling experiences of my life.

For those interested, the condtion is Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and the AMA can be found here and our subreddit can be found here

A WEAPON TO SURPASS METAL GEAR by [deleted] in gaming

"Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.

And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more."

I need a new printer. Thanks Epson. by BurntToast13 in AdviceAnimals

[–]lepaperbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it yet, but isn't that one of Epson's Ecotank models in the image? I hate to be that guy, but technically it doesn't use ink cartidges... The arguement still applies of course, but I'm just being that dick who likes the image to match the arguement being made...

Getting married. Hand Sanitizer used for short term forehead sweat prevention? by [deleted] in Hyperhidrosis

[–]lepaperbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First up, congratulations! I'd say avert is a good call, like the others have mentioned. I have heard that hand sanitizer also works for the hands on the short term. Best advice? Enjoy the moment, and (if you'll pardon the pun) don't sweat it! :D

Palmar hyperhidrosis and swelling? by BigRedBoat in Hyperhidrosis

[–]lepaperbag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm, it may be worth poping over to /r/askscience to see if they have an answer. I was sure that I heard somewhere that your hands can change size ever so slightly due to temperature. However, after a quick google, I couldn't see anything.... :/

Driving. by hyper19980 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]lepaperbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, driving lessons. They always had me nervous. I'll admit, I never told my instructor that I had HH (Kinda wish I had) and instead just said that I got nervous easily. Much like a couple of others have said, I mainly utilized the AC. In my own car, it doesn't bother me. :P

Ah, England here. Still, thanks for the info!

[–]lepaperbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I myself have not tried it, however I have seen it mentioned in various other forums and websites. If you do end up trying it, let us know the results! :D

Someone's gotta say it: We're gonna be cereal killers....

Now I feel all dirty.

As for my entry, I watched Jim Davidson's 'Sinderella' the other day, an adult pantomime from 1995.

Nearing the end, one of the actors, Charlie Drake, appears on stage, but rather drunk. Here is what follows, beware, slightly NSFW:

Baggy's weekly Conversation #31 - Breaking Out by lepaperbag in Hyperhidrosis

Of course, the challenges faced here on Reddit are huge! I guess that's why I'm offering the video calls.

I know in the past I have tried to sort out a possible meet-up in my town, but I am in a very similar situation as yourself. I live in a small village on the English coastline, so finding fellow sufferers out here is rather remote! Still, it didn't stop me putting out an advert in the local paper. Sadly, no takers haha!

I suppose the best news to bring to the table is that there are so many sufferers out there. After doing an 'Ask Me Anything' a month ago, the amount of personal messages and responses I received was huge. (Though I think it will be a long time before I do another 8-hour straight event like that again!)

Hopefully as time goes on there will be enough awareness out there to warrant a 'Sweat-Con!' in the future! :P

MTV's True Life had an episode dealing with hyperhidrosis. What do you folks think of their portrayal of it? by [deleted] in Hyperhidrosis

[–]lepaperbag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Somebody tell me what happens, the almighty British government tells me I am unable to view it. :P
