For Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month this year, I had the amazing opportunity to share my story of living with Hh on a larger scale. The International Hyperhidrosis Society approached me earlier this year to ask if I would consider being a part of their Awareness Month campaign and tell my #HhStory. Although I am usually pretty secret about my condition, I decided to take the leap and trust that a video like this could help others living with Hh and spread awareness and understanding. It’s always important to me to portray Hh as NOT just a little sweat. The video really captures the struggles I’ve faced and the obstacles I’ve had to overcome to get through each and every day. My story is just one of many from millions of other Hh sufferers all over the world. You are not alone. We are in this together.
So, without further ado, here’s my story.
So, I guess my secret isn’t so secret anymore…and that’s okay.
Thank you to the International Hyperhidrosis Society for this opportunity and to my husband and mom who joined me to share their experiences of having someone with Hh in their lives.
To all my family and friends – thank you for your never-ending love and support ❤

Caryn, You are beautiful and courageous! Thank you for being the voice for those of us also living with hyperhidrosis. All the points you raised in the video, as well as your many blog entries, resonate so strongly with me. It’s good to know that we’re not alone in having hyperhidrosis, and I immensely appreciate your efforts to bring this condition to the forefront and to educate others on its impact in our lives. You so clearly show that one can live a happy, successful life in spite of hyperhidrosis!!
