Sweating

It's great that you're doing well.  I'm not sure sweating is a bad thing, depending on how bad it is. It also doesn't sound like a heart thing.  You might chat with your PCP about it if you're worried.

I checked you out online.  Neat stuff.  ...and now you're here talking trash. ;-)

You know you're wired when...
