Sweating... I like going outside, working in the yard, or just hanging out. But when I sweat, I sweat everywhere. I always seem to end up having to replace my appliance because the sweat under my appliance causes leaks. So, therefore, I don't go out much during real hot days. Does anyone else have or had this problem? Do you have advice on what to do if there is anything that can be done? I have a colostomy since 08/2015 and have been in and out of the hospital for one thing or another, so I really didn't start going out till now. The sweat makes me just want to stay in. I can get a week, sometimes longer, with my appliance if I stay cool.
