Living with Hyperhidrosis

I have hyperhidrosis,

a condition in which,

my palms and soles,

sweat excessively.

I’ve been suffering,

from it since birth.

As a child in India,

I wore rubber slippers,

walked on cement floors.

It was rough sometimes,

but the days went by.

I never wear leathers,

it will fray by acidic sweat,

I’d get allergic reactions too.

Now I live in the USA,

the floors are carpeted.

If I walk barefoot,

with wet feet,

the carpet will grow mold,

and those carpet chemicals

can irritate my soles.

Mold and itching,

both can provoke,

our immune systems.

So what do I do?

I’ve found a simple solution:

I wear absorbent cotton socks,

on felt slippers,

and works wonderfully.

When socks get wet,

I change into a new pair,

it's affordable and safe.

A small effort,

and abig problem solved.

As I type this story,

I'm wearing cotton gloves.

I wear them,

while driving the car too.

Friends,

we don’t get to choose,

our endless problems,

but managing them,

is our responsibility.

When we handle them

using our wisdom,

self-respect follows,

despite the struggles.

Note: Find your solutions. Be an inspiration.
