2 weeks post ETS for Palmar HH

I had been a severe hand and foot sweater my whole life. I am 35 years old and finally had ETS in June 2017. I am sure there are people out there that had worse hand sweating than me, but I've never met any. I tried many of the non-surgical treatments such as Drysol, Iontophoresis (Idromed-5 and Dri...

Re: No one knows what it's like...

Em, you are definitely not alone. You are absolutely right that very few people actually know what it is like to live with sweaty hands, feet, etc. We differ in that I have had hyperhidrosis only on my hands and feet, but I have had many of the similar experiences as you in trying to cover up the sw...

Re: Distraught hand-sweater

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. It is very reassuring to know that for many people ETS has been a complete success. I have almost finished the first month of iontophoresis (21 treatments thus far) and have had mediocre results. I will follow through with the treatments, although I am...

Re: Iontophoresis Tracker

Well, for the time being I will make a simple tracker for myself. What I have noticed from the Idromed 5 compared to the RA Fischer device is less pain. With the RA Fishcer I definitely felt like there was electricity going through my hands whereas the idromed has a slight tingling sensation. Perhap...

Iontophoresis Tracker

Dear Admin,

I read a post a while ago that contained an excel spreadsheet to track treatments, but I can no longer locate it. If you have knowledge of where this is, could you please post it again. Thanks.

Dear Admin

I bought my Idromed 5 in early December by clicking your links. I received it today and will begin treatment. I'll keep my results updated on this forum, thanks.

Re: Distraught hand-sweater

Dear Admin, Sorry for the delayed response. I will try to report back on the mineral content of Colorado water after I get the machine. Right now I am still trying to deal with insurance to get it paid for. For many reasons, I do NOT want to get the RA Fischer machine after reading about the Idromed...

Distraught hand-sweater

First, I would like to thank the administrator for creating this website, it has been truly useful. I don't know how different my story is compared to others'. My hands, and to some extent my feet have sweated my whole life. I hated giving high-fives as a kid and dislike shaking hands to this day. I...
