Hyperhidrosis sugery !?

I have a medial condition called hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating and it has been effecting me my whole life. 2 years ago I recently had enough of the shame and embarrassment that it causes and decided to ACT. I have taken test to see if it’s my thyroid, I have taken medial deodorant and nothing works literally. I have done everything. I recently found out that I can receive botox that may work and last 6 month or guaranteed liposuction under my arm that will last a life time. If I get the surgery in the long run I will save 57,000 dollars. I have to write a letter to my insurance company even though they might not pay what should I door say in this letter!

Hyperhidrosis sugery !?
Why do you have to write the letter? Can't the doctor who knows the medical jargon and is going to be performing the surgery write it for you? You do have a legtimate medical condition that you have been treating for several years with no success. I would call his office and talk with the person in the office that takes care of insurance claims and ask if she can assist you.


Hyperhidrosis remedies (for excessive sweating)?

Anyone tried iontophoresis or creams and lotions to cure hyperhidrosis of palms, armpits, feet etc...?





What kind of success did you get?





There is a forum where there are people having success with some medications and iontophoresis --

However, some people still go for the surgery instead despite side effects.

Hyperhidrosis remedies (for excessive sweating)?
If you have this problem, please see a dermatologist. However, I suspect you posted this as a "leading" question just to draw others to this website...maybe it is even your website.





But, for those that read this question because of the topic who are looking for help, there are prescription anti-perspirants that are very successful such as aluminum tetrachloride (Xerac).





There is also a treatment aluminum chloride hexahydrate (Drysol). You receive two or three treatments a week for a few weeks and then only need once a week after that.





Another new treatment uses electric current to block the action of the sweat glands. It is used daily for a week and then your sweating will be relieved for a month.


Hyperhidrosis! HELP!!!!?

I have really bad hyperhidrosis and have tried numerous products including drysol, certain dry and maxium. None of these have worked for me. Does anyone know anything else I can try. I am desperate help!

Hyperhidrosis! HELP!!!!?
If you have tried everything else, it is time to see a dermatologist (if you haven't already). There are prescription anti-perspirants that are very successful such as aluminum tetrachloride (Xerac).

Reply:Well, it all depends on WHERE your hyperhidrosis is. For example, if it's on your hands and feet, you can try anti-perspirants (Secret Clinical Strength is brand new and getting rave reviews); iontophoresis (the water bath thing); and/or Botox. Lots of people use these treatments in combination to get the best effect for the longest period of time. If you have HH in your underarms, then your options are the same as above with the EXCEPTION of iontophoresis.





The success of these treatments is hugely technique-dependant. So, you need to find a good dermatologist that has lots of experience treating HH. Best place to find him or her is on the International Hyperhidrosis Society's website (www.SweatHelp.org). Plus they have TONS of information that can help you through this. And make sure you subscribe to their newsletter--great info and deals. Good luck!

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) at certain times of the week - what to use/do?

I have suffered from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) for many years now, and I have been have iontophoresis treatments at the hospital for my hands and feet, and they used to work. Now I have had this done every month for a year, the effect is now minimal. There is no sweating for a couple of days, but then it comes back.


I have now noticed that during the week, I do not sweat at all or just a little bit. But, at the weekend, the sweating returns, and worse than it has ever been. My armpits now also sweat badly at the weekend, which they never used to before.


The only way of stopping this is if I go outside, then the sweating soon goes. As soon as I come back in, it starts again. It especially happens when I go to my room, on the computer, which I use quite a bit.


Even when I go and play tennis at the weekend, or do some physical activity, I hardly excessively sweat from these areas.


What can I do to improve this? Also, has anyone tried Maxim Sensitive Wipes? Any result?


Thanks

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) at certain times of the week - what to use/do?
There may be a psychological reson for the hyperhidrosis and this could account for the pattern of its occurrence. The reason(s) may not be at a level of conscious awareness. For this reason, it could be useful to see a clinical hypnotherapist/psychotherapist who could help you to explore some of the deeper issues which may be affecting you.





Look in the corporate boxes in Yellow Pages and send for the therapists' information so you can choose a well-qualified person in your area to help you.





Good luck ~ RJS
Reply:Hi there, I've been working in London Royal Hospital for around 12 years now and have seen this alot before. I have listed some common methods which you may want to try.





Weight-Loss: Hyperhidrosis can be aggravated by obesity, so weight-loss can help. However, most people with hyperhidrosis do not sweat excessively due to obesity





An aluminum chloride solution can be very effective; some people, however, cannot tolerate the irritation that it can cause.





Surgery (Sweat gland suction): A new technique adapted and modified from liposuction. On an out-patient basis with only local anaesthesia, the sweat glands are permanently removed in a gentle, non-aggressive manner.





Talc/Baby Powder: One temporary treatment is talc or baby powder because the powder will absorb the sweat, the only problem is, after a while the powder may become a messy white coating on the place of application.





Cold Water: The tounge has a health supply of blood. The cooling flow of water over the tounge would reduce the blood temperature and, overall, the body temperature.

Reply:try antiperspirant deodorant on your hands, works good on feet too
Reply:One new approach that may work on small areas of skin that have excessive sweating is to inject botulinum toxin (Botox®) into small areas of the skin (such as the underarms), which blocks the acetylcholine for up to 12 months before it wears off.





Home remedy for sweaty hands or feet:


Boil five tea bags in a quart of water for five minutes. When the solution cools, soak your hands or feet for twenty to thirty minutes nightly. Tea contains tannic acid, which is also found in commercial products such as Zilactol, and Zilactin. The astringent properties of tannic acid are thought to be partly responsible for its antiperspirant action.


Anyone have Hyperhidrosis? If so, have you had the Botox treatment done? How much was it?

I have Hyperhidrosis of the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet. I was just wondering if the procedure hurts or has any side effects. Any information is greatly appreciated. Hyperhidrosis inhibits my social life and even the kind of shoes I wear!

Anyone have Hyperhidrosis? If so, have you had the Botox treatment done? How much was it?
I had Botox injection for a neurological disorder called dystonia. It did not seem to help me to much, but, don't be discouraged because you have to find the right Doctor that knows how to work with Botox. I did not have the right doctor at the time. Each shot cost me $150.00 and some cost me more, depending on how many shots was given that day. You can get help with these Botox shots though if your doctor is behind you. You can call this phone number for help with the payments. Botox 1-800-530-6680

Help on hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)!!!?

Are there any medication (no surgery please) on hyperhidrosis. I've tried few, but without success. If available on the shelf, please advise me. I've almost given up hope as hyperhidrosis hinders my social progress.

Help on hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)!!!?
there is a product called "Tussy" it is been around forever and there isn't alot of advertising about it but i have had a problem with sweating to the point that even my clothes were stained yellow. i started using "tussy" about 16 years ago and i have never been happier. i always thought that for such an effective product it was never given much credit but it does work!
Reply:i had hyperhidrosis since i was a little kid and i did surgery and it worked wonderfull, my suggestion would be that.


botox is terrible it costs alot and it does damage to you after awhile.


nothing really works good... i tried roll ons to stop the sweating and lots of weird things.


if you are really against surgery the only thing i can think of is take a lil towel or rag with you and use that...
Reply:The initial treatment for hyperhidrosis is usually medical and does not involve surgery. There are ointments and salves available (i.e., Drysol) that are astringents that tend to dry up the sweat glands. Another treatment is iontopheresis. This consists of a treatment of electrical stimulation, usually in the hands. Patients place their hands in a bath through which an electrical current is passed. This treatment tends to "stun" the sweat glands and can decrease the secretion of sweat for periods of 6 hours to one week. One of the most recent treatments proposed is the injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the area of excessive sweating. This is a toxin that affects nerve endings and decreases the transmission of the nerve impulses to the sweat glands thus resulting in decreased sweating. It generally requires several injections in the palms or underarms and it remains effective from one to six months. Repeated injections are nearly always required to maintain an adequate level of dryness.





In addition to the above treatments, many medicines have been utilized with varying success. These include both sedatives (in those patients with stress-induced hyperhidrosis) and medications that affect the nervous system. A family practitioner or internist often begins the initial treatment for hyperhidrosis. Cases not responding to simple treatment regimens are often then referred to a specialist such as a dermatologist or neurologist. In general, surgery is contemplated only when the less invasive medical treatments have failed to provide adequate treatment


Hyperhidrosis? common?

I am only 16, and i have hyperhidrosis. I have for years now. For those wondering what it is, it is excessive persperation. I have auxillary hyperhidrosis (armpit), and i am just wondering how common this is. Becuase i always feel that i am the odd one. Having this makes me unable to wear tshirts, or light colored shirts, it definatly worsens when i get nervous, or am around alot of people, and of course when it is hot. Are their others out there that understand what im going through, and have they found any options to this? Anti-persperant does absolutly nothing. And also what exactly is it classified as, like im pretty sure its not a disease, or like a disorder... ? So what is it?

Hyperhidrosis? common?
im 15, i noticed it since i was like 6. it was mainly in my hands, then it got to more places like armpits and other places.


i tried everything possible, except botox cuz i kno it sucks and its not worth it.


i did surgery a year ago, and im glad to say that it was a great success and its just wonderful living without it.

Is anti-hyperhidrosis effective?

I consulted my dermatologist when I suffered from experiencing the hyperhidrosis in my underarms. My dermatologist gave me the right prescription to prevent hyperhidrosis. She prescribed me about using her anti-hyperhidrosis and anti-bacterial soap. She told me not to use deodorant temporarily while I'm on my treatment for hyperhidrosis. Its been 5days since I've used it but still no effect. She told me that she'll give me a follow up check up after a month. What shall I do? I want it to be cured already. Should I wait for a month? Can anybody help me?

Is anti-hyperhidrosis effective?
Personally if your dermo says to wait a month, I would.

This is great medication for hyperhydrosis.. but good luck finding a dr. or dermatologist that would prescribe it to you.. I live in California I talked to 4 dr. and 7 dermatologist.. and none of them would prescribe it.. they say that medication is not in their pdr book for hyperhidrosis " PDR medical book for doctors" they say that Robinul is not for hyperhidrosis even thou it reduces excessive sweating most dr. will not prescribe it.. so I'm force to buy it from a Canadian on line pharmacy..

Hyperhidrosis?

Does anyone else out there have this condition? extrmley sweaty hands?? and feet? I mean, the feet, i put powder, and im fine, but my hands, im shame to shake peoples hands, cuz they are drenched with sweat!


if u have this prob and fixed it, what did u do?

Hyperhidrosis?
I have had severe hyperhidrosis all of my life, where my hands and feet would both sweat excessively, unbearably. I began to look for solutions, of which there seem to be five primary ones, I suggest starting from 1 and working to 5:





1) Drysol Drysol is an extremely strong prescription antiperspirant. I used this as a child, it was to be put on once a day and that was it, however, it did not work well at all, and in addition, if any session was skipped it completely reversed the work done. I suggest you try it however.





2) Prescription Pills I do not know too much about these as there are always more and they are changing, but they did not work for me. Talk to your doctor.





At this point, having talked to a doctor and finding their advice unhelpful, I found myself a specialist. Since I live in MN I went to the U of M.





3) Iontophoresis It was suggested to me that I use Drionic, an iontophoresis treatment. What happens is you put your hands and feet individually in a container for some time in which low electrical charges are sent to do something to stop the sweating. This took an hour a day and when it finally began working, was extremely disappointing as it did not properly cover the area. This is the one treatment I suggest you avoid.





4) Botox I never got Botox treatments because of the needles. Botox is done to the affected area about 2 needles per square centimeter and needs to be redone every 4-6 months. I would suggest trying it if the needle aspect does not bother you.





5) Endoscopic Thorasic Sympathectamy This treatment is surgery. After trying all of the above and living for too long to bear with hyperhidrosis, I decided to get ETS. Four cuts were made, two on each side of my chest, one of which was used to insert a camera and the other to insert a tool which attached a tiny clip to the gland causing my body not to sweat above the nipple line. Recovery, like any surgery, was exhausting and painful, but it was definitely worth it. The side affects of this surgery are compensatory sweating, which I have noticed, meaning other parts of the body begin to sweat excessively. I, however, only experience about once a day for less than five or so minutes and it is much less severe than the sweating I had had.





Overall, my main suggestion is to go and see a specialist to help you decide which treatment to go with. I do not regret at all having surgery, it was a great decision and I am very glad I made it.





I wish the best of luck to you.
Reply:Thank u very much, I havent logged on in a while. I will see a speacialist. I heard of the surgery, but if its painful, I dont want it.lol Report It

Reply:Hyperhidrosis can be caused by food allergies, or a mineral/vitamin deficiency.





Check out this article about hyperhidrosis, grains, and sugars. Scroll about halfway down the page.


http://www.mercola.com/2004/aug/14/exces...





I had hyperhidrosis (and a few other symptoms) for many years and went through all the usual treatments including anticholinergic prescription drugs, antiperspirants, botox, and ETS surgery. The surgery was most helpful but several years later hyperhidrosis began to return.





Years later I was diagnosed with celiac disease, along with a few food allergies. I eliminated wheat, dairy, and sugar from my diet and stopped all prescriptions. I began taking supplements:





- Vitamin B complex, 50mg of every B vitamin plus Folic Acid


- Mineral complex, contains Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, etc.

and plz no wow glad i dont hold hands with u crap k, serious answers only. thank you

Hyperhidrosis?
have you talked to an endocrinologist first to determine the cause. if not, try that route first. sometimes it can be handled fairly easy that way. my second recommendation is botox. we treated many patients for hyperhydrosis successfully with botox. a dermatologist or ent (ear nose %26amp; throat) can give you information regarding how much botox they would use, etc. it usually last 10-12 months. not painful, as the needles used are very thin and small. it is certainly worth talking with them about it. sometimes, your insurance carrier will cover it.


good luck to you.
Reply:ummm..well, I know dermatologists can give shots in the sweat glands of overly sweaty armpits, but as far as hands go, I'd ask a professional. until then, have you ever considered carrying a small thing of baby powder?? maybe?
Reply:Botox works for short term 4-6 month relief.


Certain liposuctions and localized surgeries work long term


Thoracic sympathetic nerve cutting also works using minimally invasive endoscopic technique for long term relief


Hyperhidrosis?

I'm quite sure that I have axillary hyperhidrosis, and it's really embarrassing. My mom has it too. I've been looking online for treatments, and so far I haven't really found one I'm willing to try. From what I've read, botox works well, but I'm extremely terrified of needles. I really don't want to get surgery either. Does anyone know of a non-painful, cheap way to treat this?

Hyperhidrosis?
Medically known as axillary hyperhidrosis, excessive underarm perspiration is more of a social embarrassment than a serious medical condition. Large, prominent sweat stains and constant sweating are normal signs.





Should you be suffering from this condition, rest assured that this is curable. You can wear your white shirt again sooner than you think; it doesn’t need to stay in your closet forever.


Common methods to stop excessive underarm perspiration (also known as hyperhidrosis treatments) are prescribed anti-perspirants, botox, and surgery (endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy).





1) Prescription anti-perspirants. When the best over-the-counter deodorant or anti-perspirant fails, consult your dermatologist. Dermatologists are likely to prescribe anti-perspirants based on aluminum chloride. This may be one of the best, safest cures for excessive underarm sweating.





2) Botox. Should prescription anti-perspirants prove to be ineffective, a more drastic – and expensive – measure like botox treatment may be called for. Botox is injected in the infected area to prevent the release of a chemical that stimulates sweat production. Injections are done after every 6-10 months.





Though botox is approved by the Food and Drug Administration specifically to stop excessive underarm sweating, be cautious with this method as some patients complain of moderate or severe pain when being administered shots. Also, find a qualified practitioner to ensure your safety in this procedure.





3) Surgery. Clinically known as endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS), this treatment involves inserting titanium clips in the underarm to control sweating. The entire procedure is quick and painless but can have some side effects. A common side effect is compensatory sweating, where the body sweats more in other areas to compensate for the reduced sweating in the armpits.





In addition to the above treatments, you can do the following to control and stop underarm sweating:





1) Wear loose, natural fabrics. Loose clothing will let your underarms breathe more easily. Tight-fitting clothes trap sweat and can even make sweat stains obvious.





Natural fabrics, like cotton and silk, allow sweat to dry faster than synthetic man-made fabrics like spandex and nylon.





2) Eat and drink properly. Avoid foods that can only worsen your perspiration problem like those with caffeine and alcohol. Cut down or avoid spicy foods as well as they tend to make the body sweat more.





Drinking lots of water is important to re-hydrate the body especially after excessive underarm sweating.





3) Meditate. As stress and anxiety contribute to excessive underarm sweating, a sound mind can keep it in check. Meditation also maintains the body’s hormonal balance.
Reply:Sorry to hear that. I had hyperhidrosis for many years along with arhhythmia, migraine headaches, muscle twitching,


gastrointestinal problems, and food intolerances.





I tried all the usual treatments including ETS surgery, prescriptions, antiperspirants, botox, etc. The surgery was most helpful but several years later hyperhidrosis began to return.





In my case it was due to mercury, lead, and cadmium poisoning. These could have come from old dental fillings, lead paint in houses, etc. What finally stopped it was a gluten-free diet, replacing dental amalgams with composite, and DMSA chelation.





(Mercury and other heavy metals interfere with enzymes and digestion.) You can search for any of these and find tons of


articles.





Heavy metals like mecury, lead, and cadmium won't show up on blood tests. It takes a hair or 24-hour urine test. You could


find a naturopathic doctor or order a test directly.





http://www.directlabs.com/testtypes.php#...





Some other things which help are B Vitamins and Folic Acid. I take a multivitamin that contains NO copper but has all the


other essential minerals (magnesium, zinc, selenium, manganese, molybdenum)





If you search, there are several sources which mention hyperhidrosis as a symptom of mercury poisoning. This is also related to wheat and dairy intolerance because mercury inhibits DPP-IV, the main enzyme needed to digest these foods.

Reply:I think both of the above answers are great and pretty thorough concerning hyperhidrosis and excessive sweating treatment... However, to be more specific, I recommend you try http://www.megadry.com for your hyperhidrosis. I've tried a lot of stuff, but it either stings or leaves stains or ruins clothes in other ways.





Sweating too much really sucks and while, for me, megadry doesn't cure my sweating problem, it has made living with it bearable. My two cents on hyperhidrosis - I hope this has been helpful.
Reply:Sure.





You can use any of the following methods:





1. Use a prescription deodorant like Drysol or pick up CertainDri.





2. look for a deodorant with a high level of Aluminum Chloride. This is the active ingredient that blocks the sweat pores.





3. Use an antibacterial soap in the shower. It does wonders for drying out the underarm skin.





4. Avoid caffeine, spicy foods, alcohol, onions and garlic from your diet.





5. Wear loose clothing.





6. Drink plenty of water to lower your body temperature.


Hyperhidrosis?

I have hyperhidrosis/facial blushing and I am looking for treatment possibilities. I would like to hear from people that have dealt with this and know exactly what I'm talking about. I do not consider ets surgery an option because of the horrible side effects and am looking for an alternative. I've read some promising info about the use of botox when it's injected into the skin and not the muscles of the face. Has anybody tried this? Please help.

No, there is a herb that is far more effective than what you are talking about it's called Bloodfetos...it works great and it's cheap and 90% effective
