Hey Theory11.
So I've been practicing magic for about four years now, but still below decent level. I'll say, I'm definitely a hell of a lot better than when I started back in '07 but four years is a ridiculous amount of time to not become significantly better. I remember the biggest problem I had the past four years was the condition of my hands. They would repeatedly sweat, even after washing, drying and washing again. I couldn't handle a deck of cards or coins for more than five minutes at a time. As far as I can remember, even prior to picking up magic, it was always a problem for me, socially and for basic everyday issues. I couldn't physically touch anyone without getting them soaked and I couldn't read a book for extended periods without soiling the pages. Recently I found out that I have a medical condition known as hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which a sympathetic nerve overacts constantly and kicks your sweat glands no matter what temperature it is; hot or cold. I'm going to get treated for it pretty soon. Now, I'm not trying to make it sounds God awful, I mean, I'm still alive, but it just made me wonder if anyone here has any condition, medical or other, that has affected their practice in magic? And if so, how did you deal with it? Thanks in advance guys.
