Do you have hyperhidrosis?

OK heres the thing I have this skin condition called hyperhidrosis. It is where you sweat more than the average person. I have it on my hands, feet, and underarms. I have tried numerous treatments, but they have all failed. Does anyone know of any sucessful treatments that I have not tried yet.


I have tried the following:





~ Antipersperants:


* Secret Clinical Strength deoderant


* B+ Drier


* Certain Drie


* Michim's Deoderant


* Ban Deoderant


* Drysol


* Ban Deoderant


* Arrid Deoderant


* Suave Deoderant





~ Kleinert's underarm shields.





~ Iontophoresis treatments.





P.S: I am very interested in reading Mike Ramsey's book called stop sweating and start living. I anyone has read this book I would really appreciate knowing if it helped you. Also, my parents will not allow me to have any surgeries, such as botox or ETS, because they think it will damadge my nerves, and that I am too young. Thanks to everyone who responds to my very long question I reallly appreciate it. Thanks again!

Try plain old Zinc Oxide - you know the white stuff swimmers put on their nose. It's supposed to also be an anti-sweating agent.
Reply:I know you said that your parents wont allow you to do Botox, but I have heard that it does work. As for damaging your nerves, The Botox serum blocks nerve impulses from the nerve within the specific muscle causing the contractions (or in your case, stops the muscle around the sweat glands) to stop. If there was to be nerve damage, it would be localized. other than that, I dont know and I wish you luck.
Reply:Sorry to hear, I know this must drive you crazy..I also have a friend who has this same problem but I didn't actually know it was a skin condition. I just thought it was a normal function of his body..No matter what he does or environment he is in, he is always sweating. He just has to take alot of showers..Anyhow,, I was looking up some stuff found this link about the ETS..

Reply:I had severe hyperhidrosis along with neurological symptoms such as arhhythmia, rapid heart rate, migraines and muscle twitching. I went through all the regular treatments including robinul, klonopin, drysol, and botox without luck.





After fifteen years of going to various specialists, I had the ETS surgery done. It went well but after 2-3 years the hyperhidrosis and Raynaud's syndrome (cold limbs) began to return.





In my case these symptoms were caused by allergies to wheat and dairy (Celiac disease) and mercury toxicity. These lead to depletion of certain amino acids and enzymes, and malabsorption of B vitamins and minerals, especially magnesium.





After eliminating grains and dairy from my diet, the symptoms have gone away. I have been taking supplements as well. Sometime in the future I will be having amalgam fillings replaced, including root canals.





If you search, you will find several sources which mention hyperhidrosis as a symptom of mercury poisoning. This can be related to wheat and dairy allergies (gluten and casein) because mercury inhibits DPP-IV, an enzyme needed to digest these foods.
