Don’t worry Janet, we all feel sorry for ourselves sometimes. It can’t be helped. 🙁
Sometimes, in summer, when my night sweating and back sweating are at it’s worst, I just wonder why my wife doesn’t divorce me already – although of course, she herself is being patient and understanding.I hope that your bad hyperhidrosis spell has eased…[Read more]

Toby replied to the topic Meditation for Hyperhidrosis in the forum Alternative Treatment Forum 10 years, 3 months ago
I tried this approach over the past couple of weeks, and I didn’t really notice the difference. Sorry. :/
For me, meditation did not stop excessive sweat at all, so I can’t consider it to be a valid hyperhidrosis treatment. I’m glad to hear it works for you, Elena, but it seems to be an individual thing – either that or I’ve been doing something…[Read more]

Lucas started the topic Excessive Sweat and the Couch Problem! in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 5 months ago
Any ideas how to deal with the excessive sweat on the couch and the chairs?
I recently threw my old couch, the surface of which was made of fabric that was nearly impossible to wash and made me very warm and sweatier than usual. After that, I bought an eco-leather couch that is super easy to clean and wash, but I overlooked one awful thing:…[Read more]

Toby replied to the topic I built my own iontrophoresis machine and have some questions. in the forum Alternative Treatment Forum 10 years, 5 months ago
I think the yellow water after iontophoresis is the result of some chemical and electrical reaction in the water… It could be the consequence of diffusion of metal in salty water. I have no idea if this could cause any harm to sweaty hands – somehow I don’t think so.
First thing that comes to mind: to stop water from getting yellow, you might…[Read more]

Tim Fleiss replied to the topic Maxim Wipes in the forum Antiperspirants Forum 10 years, 5 months ago
Why Maxim?
On the over the counter antiperspirants guide, it seems to be one of the weakest ones. Is this the reason why it is good to use Maxim for treating facial hyperhidrosis? Because it is not too strong?
But then again, if your excessive sweat is, well, too excessive, won’t you be needing the strongest antiperspirant out there? Or is your…[Read more]

Look, I don’t suggest anything, really. I just thought it would be helpful if I pointed out some potential drawbacks to using Maxim Wipes on your face. But hey, if this works for you, and has worked for you for some time now, then clearly you know better. However, I do think you should be careful about recommending these wipes as a facial…[Read more]

Leons replied to the topic Maxim Wipes in the forum Antiperspirants Forum 10 years, 5 months ago
Jenny, are you sure you’re okay with applying Maxim Sensitive on your face? Here it says that they should not be applied on the face – and it especially warns against using the wipes on the eye area. To me, this doesn’t look like the safest way to prevent excessive sweat on the face.
Facial hyperhidrosis requires a lot of care and you have to be…[Read more]

Leons replied to the topic Ra Fishcer MD-2 device with Robinul? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
You should try different mA settings for hands and for feet – the important bit is that you need to feel a small tingling during iontophoresis for hyperhidrosis, because that’s often a sign that the treatment is working. (But you should never feel pain!)
Iontophoresis is really a hyperhidrosis treatment that needs some fine tuning. Not everyone…[Read more]

Lucas started the topic miraDry now available in more countries! in the forum MiraDry Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
So far, miraDry was available only in the few countries outside U.S. – Japan, Korea and Canada.
Well, I just found out on miraDry website that this is no longer the case! Now, several more countries have physicians who offer this hyperhidrosis treatment for underarms.The complete list now goes like…[Read more]

Tim Fleiss replied to the topic A Question for Hyperhidrosis Network Members! in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
I was mostly drawn by neat informative articles on the website. I think they offer an excellent overview of all topics related to hyperhidrosis.
I also joined to explore various treatment options – and I think I succeeded in figuring out the ideal hyperhidrosis treatment for my specific set of sweating problems. And it was interesting to hear o…[Read more]

Hi Chris,
For starters, you can try registering a full account here on Hyperhidrosis Network – that way the other users here will be able to contact you via a private message if they’re interested in buying an iontophoresis machine from you. Or you can leave some other way for people to contact you…
And I think it would also be a good idea to…[Read more]

Ramona started the topic Rubbing Alcohol and Cotton Pads Trick in the forum Antiperspirants Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
I started doing something very simple (and maybe a little silly) to get rid of the awful sweat odor on my underarms.
When I sweat, even if I use antiperspirants or deodorants, the odor can get pretty bad… In some situations, when I am not at home, I tried doing a quick wash up (with wet pads) in the bathroom or re-applying the deodorant.…[Read more]

Hi, Denise 🙂
It’s been a while since I last used underarm sweat pads, but I don’t remember every seeing them in stores. I mostly ordered them from Kleiners website, and my favorite were these: http://www.kleinerts.com/enlarged-disposable-underarm-pads-for-men.html
..although that probably doesn’t mean anything to you since they’re for men – but…[Read more]

Toby replied to the topic Renting an Iontophoresis Machine – Yes or No? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
Yeah, I agree about trying out things, though you should also be careful not to disrupt your maintenance routine. Maybe try using the same current settings even with the new device? In any case, be careful. The summer is coming (this sounds like something out of GoT), and that’s not the best time of year to experiment with your hyperhidrosis…[Read more]

Toby replied to the topic Renting an Iontophoresis Machine – Yes or No? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
Well you see for me it’s psychological. I was relaxed when I rented a device, because I did not feel the obligation to keep it.
First of all, I don’t think it’s fair to order an iontophoresis device if you’re not serious about it. I would just feel like some sort of a fraud, giving them my money when I’m actually half-planning to take it back.…[Read more]

Hey, I’m pretty much a newbie, only been doing iontophoresis for months now, but here it is: I think it took me about 5 weeks to get everything working just right.
My iontophoresis device is Idrostar + and it is supposed to be a high profile device. In my experience, despite that, it did take some getting used to, and for a while even after I…[Read more]
