Can't play guitar

Vent

This is some bulllllllshit, I used to play guitar and was prettt good too but the hyperhidrosis decided about 5 years ago to kick into overdrive and it became increasingly difficult and frustrating till I gave up playing and have basically hated life ever since. I've tried aluminum chloride products (can't use them, sensitive skin), glycopyrrolate (when it does decide to work the side effects are intolerable, I already have dry eye and mouth issues), iontophoresis (caused blisters and aggravated my dyshidrotic excema).

Ordered some antihydral that should be here tomorrow, I really hope this works because my patience for this (and my other several chronic issues and illnesses) is running thin. My life is hard even without hyperhidrosis, my stomach is in pain 24/7 because it's been inflamed for 6 years and nothing helps, I can't work anymore, can barely eat, feel like a burden to my family, and the one thing that's brought me the most joy in life now only causes frustration, it's just the cherry on top of a shit sundae. Can't I have this one thing?
