hello Reese,
after years of suffering the emotional and social effects of palmar and plantar HH and of trying just about every solution except Botox and ETS , I read about Iontophoresis and that it was actually painless, easy to do in my own home , I would not have to find a clinic that administers the therapy ,I decided to oder a machine from Germany .To make a long story short ,after a couple of attempts to get the settings right for me , my hands got dry . The feet took a bit longer but they too are now dry . I keep them dry with maintenance treatments . I could kick myself for not having tried Iontophoresis years ago when I was feeling so isolated and panicked when I had to meet new people and shake their hands …I am not a doctor ,but it seems to me that it would work no matter what the cause of your HH is .
good luck ,

my experience with excessive sweating hands , feet and armpits, started before my teenage years .At that time my parents had me try all sorts of roll ons ,gels ,powders etc and nothing worked. I became more or less resigned to feeling like a social outcast.All the time trying to hide my condition and avoiding situations where I would have to shake hands or meet new people. Only HH sufferers know what that does to your social life. A few years ago ( I am now 41 ) I read an article about Iontophoresis therapy which talked about a 98% success rate with the therapy and I became interested.The Iontophoresis machine, the Idromed 5PC a seemed a bit on the expensive side,but they offered a money back guarantee if you were not dry after 8 weeks and I thought ” why not I ‘ve got nothing to lose “. to make a long story short, I did the therapy with the machine as prescribed , every day for eight days and nothing was happening , I was still sweating as always.Then on the 11th day of treatment my hands were suddenly dry ! my feet and armpits took a bit longer ,but those areas are also now under control.I can say that Iontophoresis has changed my life. I never seriously considered Botox treatments as they are way too expensive for my pocketbook.
