no success with Fisher after 1 month
Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2013 12:27 pm
Hi--I have foot hyperhidrosis, and have been using DC iontophoresis for about 1 month, after exhausting other treatments. So far I have had no success and would appreciate any help that this forum can offer. Below is some information regarding the regimen I have been using.
1. Current 20-25mA for 20min at each polarity (40-50 min total for each session). Have done about 25 sessions over past month (missed 3-4 days, but otherwise daily). The water level is less than halfway up my toes (very low).
2. For the past 5 treatments, I have added 2 mg of glycopyrrolate to each tray and treated for the same amount of time/current. The med dissolves well as I crush and mix it thoroughly.
3. I live in Pennsylvania (USA) which has moderately hard water, so have not added any baking soda.
4. The skin of the arches of my feet has become somewhat flaky and thicker but still sweats. The worst sweating is on the balls of my feet, my toes, and heels.
I feel like I have done everything properly, and still have achieved no success. I am about to abandon all hope, but am open to suggestions regarding modifications to my approach that may achieve success. If glyco is going to be beneficial, how long can it take? Has anybody seen results after 25+ sessions?
Thanks in advance for all help.
