Re: I had ETS in 1998 and...

Congratulations on your approaching 20 year ETS-anniversary! I wish more of us "old timers" would return to share. Dandruff - definitely improved over time, yet I maintain a rather mild case of the flakes. So mild, that I do not use any special treatment. My wife and best friends never tease me abou...

Re: I had ETS in 1998 and...

Wow - I can't believe I remembered my password to this forum! Well folks, it's been nearly 20 years post-ETS, and life is splendid with respect to sweating - and not bad otherwise :). I rarely even think about my past HH or ETS. Occasionally, something will trigger my memory and I will revisit the f...

Re: I had ETS in 1998 and...

Hey folks, I'm back. It's now 15 years post ETS (wow...I can't believe it's been that long) and I'm doing fine. I have no significant adverse side effects, as far as I know. I remain very happy with my decision to pursue ETS and feel it has enhanced my life markedly. I realize that others may have d...

Re: I had ETS in 1998 and....

Hey folks. I'm back to check in and report that nothing has changed from my original post. I saw something last night that made me think of HH and decided to return and check out the forum--otherwise I don't ever really think about HH or ETS. I have zero regrets about my ETS decision; in fact, I am ...

Viking: My apologies for the delayed reply. Just now checking back. I developed notable dandruff a few months following ETS. Moreover, my skin is definitely drier than pre-ETS. No hair loss. Just dry skin. It is managable. Far more managable than sweat dripping off my face in 40F weather. Heart rate...

I had no palmar or foot sweating, facial redness or blushing issues. Dr. Nielson emphasized that my hands would be dry and warm after surgery, which struck me as odd since that wasn't an issue before surgery. Post-surgery, I noticed that my scalp became dryer. Moderate, nothing too serious. No facia...

I had ETS in 1998 and...

(copied from other board as I just realized this is a more appropriate forum for my post) I would like to share three points. 1) I had extreme facial HH that was debilitating. I had ETS with Dr. Nielson (San Antonio) in 1998 and it changed my life. I am now on the faculty of a major research univers...

I would like to share three points. 1) I had extreme facial HH that was debilitating. I had ETS with Dr. Nielson (San Antonio) in 1998 and it changed my life. I am now on the faculty of a major research university in the U.S. and it would not have been possible without ETS. I am VERY HAPPY with my r...
