I have not been updating my blog for the last 2 years, as nothing much as happened. Enjoying every moment of the dry and warm hands - and so much (so much!!) things that I could do, which I could not possibly dream of doing all these years before the ETS. Playing the piano, weight lifting at the gym, bowling, and the most dreadful task for sweaty palm sufferers - hand shaking with strangers.
However for the last 1-2 months, I started noticing my palms especially the right side started to sweat more than usual. Not that much of sweat, but under bright light I could see the "reflection" and sweat between the palm creases! Oh no... I hope the nerves at the sympathetic chains have not regrown or re-routed. 6 titanium clips on each side were implanted. The doctor told me the chance of any regrow of the nerves was absolutely minimal. But now I am starting to see some changes...
Chillies or any spicy food have been a no-no especially for the past 2 years. In the recent months, even a tiny bit of spice or pepper will cause PROFUSE sweating on my forehead. So much sweat that even a medium size towel will be soaked, after a spicy meal. But for me that is tolerable, as it is a great trade off for my dry palms. I just opt for zero spicy food most of the time.
Soles have been sweaty too, but I am not quite bothered by them. Most of the time I put on socks while at work, and even at home, sweaty soles aren't that bothersome.
However, now that the palms are more sweaty than usual really makes me "nervous" and "in fear" that the old time nightmare will strike back.
Hopefully I won't turn into that ol' "sweatyman" again...
