Two of my kids have hyperhidrosis, including my gymmie, and they both use Drysol - it's a prescription and is applied like a bingo dobber two times a week at bedtime.

It took DD therapy, a new gym, and an entire year to start trusting coaches again after leaving a situation like this. She was called "stupid," and a "head case," to her face, made fun of behind her back, kicked out of practice, and made to climb the rope once until her hands bled. I feel...

DD scored low 9s without giants for most of the year.

I would like an add too please.

We drive an hour and a half each way four times a week. It's nice one-on-one together time, but yes, I sometimes feel like I'm cheating my other kids of my time and attention.
