“What Is This Sweating Disease, Anyway?”

I’ve been getting tons of questions about ‘Sweating Disease,’ as one reader recently called it. (FYI, it’s called ‘Hyperhidrosis’.) I thought that was cute : )

So anyway, I’ve been answering each of these questions individually via email. I don’t mind, it’s kinda fun for me. But the thing is, I noticed that the same questions started popping up over and over again. So I figured, “Hey, why not post them on the site?”

This way, you guys can talk to each other and answer each other’s questions, too! Yaaay!
