Hey, so here’s my situation... I feel like I’ve got a whole laundry list of issues going on. Honestly, I’ve just kind of learned to live with it at this point, mostly because I haven't stumbled upon any definitive cures yet. First off, there's the hyperhidrosis—excessive sweating under my arms—which is just such a miserable feeling. Then there’s Raynaud's; every winter, my circulation goes south and I get these frostbite-like sensations in my hands. It's painful, itchy, and just incredibly distracting. On top of that, I’ve had this massive corn on my heel for about six months now. I tried the icing thing, but it was too much; it hurts just to walk, and worst of all, sometimes it hits me with this sudden, sharp pain, like someone is driving a knife straight through my heel. And then there’s this lump between my breasts... looks like a dark mole that’s been there for a year or two now, and it actually hurts when you touch it. Oh, and the heart palpitations. They happen maybe seven or eight times a year while I'm sleeping, which wakes me right up, sends me into a total panic, and then I can't get back to sleep. I don't know. If anyone has any advice or even just some insight, I’d really appreciate it. I’m pretty much sick of talking about it with my family, and they don't really take me seriously anymore, so I guess I’ve stopped taking myself seriously, too. I'm 21.
