At this point, I don't think I need to tell you how much this treatment improves my life! But... I will anyway. The treatment has already kicked in, and I am back to confidently going about work and life! Actually, I have a hot blind date tomorrow night, (talk about sweat-inducing anxiety!), but I don't have to worry about that anymore!

I have tried everything from prescription antiperspirants to every over the counter deodorant on the market, none of which did the trick.  Thanks to the IHHS, it's been a few months since I got treatment and WOW does it work. My shirt selections for work have changed from black and dark colors to light blues, purples, and even an occasional pink. It has worked wonders and I don't have that constant nag, "am I sweating?" or "keep my arm down". Its great and I really appreciate all you are doing to help people with this problem!

I hope that my interview with Seventeen will help others realize that there is hope for HH and great resources available at the IHHS! That's really great that this story is being covered and shared with such a large audience. (Hopefully, it won't be too embarrassing for me!)
You guys are making tremendous progress and making a real difference...thank you for everything you do!!!

The IHHS has certainly changed my life and I am grateful that there are people so devoted to helping fix a terribly embarrassing condition. You guys are doing wonderful job and if there is any way I can help in the future, please let me know. =)

While at the IHHS event talking with others with this condition, some better and some worse, made me realize that this is a much bigger issue than mine alone. It made me feel connected in a way to all of the people who struggle with this condition. It really does help knowing that others are going through the same thing. I think the main point here is that the IHHS is changing that, we don't need to deal with this and don't need to be embarrassed about our sweating problems in public situations.
