My wording is maybe clumsy, but what I mean is: would combination of several alternative treatments help cure hyperhidrosis? The key point is to use these…[Read more]

In any case, I saw the website and visited their Facebook page. Their adaptors for face and underarm actually look pretty good and if this worked it could be one of the more versatile iontophoresis machines.

I have an idea regarding availability of Hidrex – did you try buying it through e-bay or a similar website? Someone could be selling a used machine… Just an idea. 🙂 And I hope you’ll find a way to treat your hands without harming your skin.

I’d hate to be that person, but… Why don’t you simply use sweat pads? You know, underarm sweat pads that you just set to soak up your sweat and keep your armpits from staining everything. I mean, isn’t that much MUCH more effective than trying to soak up the sweat with baby powder? =D

Sounds cool, I know people take apple cider vinegar sometimes in pills, because it is healthy or good for losing weight or what not. No wonder it helps one to sweat less, too.

Btw I sent you a friendship request. I expect to hear all the details on this “culinary” horror. 😈 :mrgreen:

I agree with Twinkle, definitely consult your physician first. If everything works out, you’ll get a prescription and will likely be able to get cheaper medication from your local pharmacy.

Though, I am probably not the best example since I only used iontophoresis to treat armpits for about 2 months, which might be too short.

And how about moving the bed next to the window, and sleeping near an open window perhaps? You can leave the door open to help the air stream through the room. This might help you stop excessive sweating while you sleep.

Oh and use the sheets…[Read more]

I have been in a similar situation before, and I agree, getting dumped can be especially difficult for us dealing with profuse sweating. No matter what your rational mind tells you, you’ll always blame it on sweating too much…I get this, cause I’ve been there. :/

If your home made iontophoresis machine doesn’t stop excessive sweating, you can always try to get a prescription from a physician – this should significantly reduce the costs of buying a pro device. Also, people are selling used iontophoresis units all the time, so that is another option if your budget is low. 😉

Normally I use the same spray to treat sweaty armpits, but yes, a lot of these antiperspirants are multi-functional. Still, I’m surprised they can even be used to prevent facial sweating – that’s cool! 🙂

DVDs can hardly replace a real live class, a real live example, etc. Don’t worry, everybody sweats in Yoga classes – even the people who don’t have hyperhidrosis. You will not stand out that much. 😉
