Iontophoresis fatigue

I have not been doing iontophoresis as often as before, and my hands are sweaty once again. Tomorrow, I am giving a speech and will need to shake hands. I wish that I had kept up my iontophoresis regimen. One reason I had stopped was that I had small cracks on my hands from winter dryness. I finally found something that helped: Eucerin's Aquaphor cream in a little tub. Now that the dry skin is healed, I need to begin the treatments again.

I went to a memorial service for a friend who died in her early 50s of breast cancer. The service was beautiful and meaningful. Attending the service made me think about what would happen if I died today? Have I lived the life I want to lead? Have I spent enough time with the people I love? Have I worked hard and enjoyed myself?

While I am sad about my friend's passing, I am glad I had the chance to be inspired by a well-lived life. And I am glad that I had a chance to reflect on the bigger picture, for I am much more than sweaty palms and feet, though they are part of who I am.

Love,
Tiara

T-shirt created to block underarm sweat and odor

Billy Thompson, an entrepreneur with hyperhidrosis, invented and manufactured a T-shirt that he claims "blocks underarm sweat and odor." The "Thompson Tee with Hydro-Shield Sweatproof Technology" is available online.

"I’ve fully embraced this role and stepped up to become a face and voice for those folks dealing with this issue. Many of them are in silence," Thompson said, according to The Daily Athenum Online.

Way to go, Billy!
