The International Hyperhidrosis Society was very helpful in providing deoderant samples for indigent students who are affected by the condition. Ms. Christine was very responsive in meeting our needs.

This is a great nonprofit group. I was in need of sample deodorant for my school which has lots of economically disadvantaged students; and with just a short email, they provided me with much needed samples. This is a great help to our kids, many of which can not afford quality hygeine projects.

We are a needy school with 1350 underpriveledged students. I am a school nurse and determined a need for deodarant since finances influences the hygiene of the students and was immediately responded to in a positive way with a generous donation.

I am a school nurse in an elementary school and am always looking for ways to serve my students. Years ago Proctor and Gamble would give away free samples of deodorant to our 5th graders. We would distribute them during the health talks about maturing. The freebies are no longer given but the need remains. I am thrilled to be able to obtain some free samples for our children. Thanks to this group our halls will be a sweeter place!

The International Hyperhidrosis Society's website and newsletter are very informative and helpful. Through the website, I found the iontophoresis machine I purchased as well as other useful products. As a hyperhidrosis sufferer for over 20 years, it is so comforting to read about other people's experiences and to know you're not alone with this problem.
I am also a school nurse and was so excited to receive the school kit. During a hygiene lecture, I explained to my 4th-6th graders what hyperhidrosis was and let them know there is help available. I will soon be receiving samples of deodorant and plan to give those to the 5th & 6th graders during their human growth & development class. If I can help one student, it will be well worth it! I remember feeling so confused and frustrated with my sweaty hands when I was young. I don't want that for any of my students or my children. I am so grateful to the IHS and glad so many people care!

I am a school nurse for an middle school. I have about 700 4th, 5th, and 6th graders in my school. The samples and the materials I received from Internataional Hyperhidrosis Society helped me a lot with educating my students. I used them for hygiene classes and education. Being able to give samples and education information to these students helps so much!

I have suffered with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) for as long as I can remember. It was determined that Botox injections would be the best treatment option for me as other treatment options had failed. However, insurance denied my claim and I was unable to pay out-of-pocket. Through the IHHS Symposium, I was able to receive thousands of dollars would of Botox for FREE. This has changed my life for the better. By receiving this treatment, I feel much more "normal" and am able to do things I had not done previously. Also, members of the IHHS staff have always helped me to feel welcomed and offered help and advice in any way they knew how. I am truly grateful for this wonderful organization!

The IHHS gave me the strength, courage, and gusto to stop hiding my sweating secret. I received treatment at one of their CME symposiums. When I arrived and saw the signage proclaiming excessive sweating and read all the stories about people just like me, it was incredibly validating. I could finally sit in a room and sweat without any worries, while at the same time listen to experts who are pioneers in the field and who offer treatments of hope. When I left the symposium that day, I felt like a million bucks. A palpable shift occurred within me that was rather unexpected. As a result of my interactions with Executive Director Lisa Pieretti, I was inspired to launch a blog called My Life as a Puddle to create hope and awareness one drop at a time. The care, attention, and understanding of those at the IHHS is astounding. They GET IT. That day was more than just a CME symposium and an opportunity for treatment. It was about validation, courage, strength, and being seen and physically touched by all of the IHHS staff without having to worry about what they thought of my sweating. I can be changed by my circumstances, but not reduced by them. Maya Angelou once said, “Beauty and strength can be found in adversity.” I thank the IHHS deeply for helping me on my way to find mine.
