Not to be cruel, but stories like this were the REASON why I was so patient and kept my brace on 24-7 for so long (6 months).

It was hell, but the consequences are miserable too. I'm sorry for all that pain you went through, and I feel you-- so many times I wanted to punt my brace away and refuse to wear it. For the first few weeks, it was hard to breathe, and the pain of getting used to small breaths was so counter intuitive and mentally painful that I'd just lay down and cry. M.A.S.H. marathons helped when I couldn't go out and have fun.

Hug To therapy and learning to lead a normal life. Good luck with the spine, man. Also, make sure when/if you have kids, they get checked out early for this. It makes life easier for them when you catch scoliosis way early and begin physical therapy then.

Hey, don't know if you'll get to this, but I have hyperhidrosis, and I just want to say that I feel you, even though I'm over here in the 'wet spectrum'. A little while back, one of my topical medications made the skin on my hands burn and peel off. It was probably one of the more painful experiences of my life, it felt absolutely terrible. Have a good day, and stay awesome.
