Leons replied to the topic Dating: how to confess that you have hyperhidrosis? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years ago
It was definitely not my intention to be insensitive or harsh or anything of the sort.
As Mary-Jane said that she is having success treating her hyperhidrosis with iontophoresis, and that we're talking about an axillary hyperhidrosis (which I myself have, so I know what it's like!), I gave the best advice I could. Maybe it wasn't sugarcoated,…[Read more]

Ramona replied to the topic Dating: how to confess that you have hyperhidrosis? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years ago
Man, people can be so insensitive! π
Can't you see the woman is terrified? And you're just advising her to shrug it off and boldly spill everything out!? π
Mary-Jane, I think you should wait until you feel comfortable to talk about hyperhidrosis with him. Let's be realistic. We all know how important first impressions areβ¦ π There is a…[Read more]

Toby wrote a new post, Hyperhidrosis and Love (My Story) 10 years ago
Sometimes it feels like I have it all. And before you start envying me, what I mean is that I have: sweaty palms, sweaty feet, sweaty underarms, sweaty back… Sweaty, sweaty, everywhere! It is maddening.

Ramona started the topic Inspirational Hyperhidrosis Videos in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years ago
I am writing this because I discovered a video that truly inspired me, in a way.
This is the video (a Youtube link)
Being anxious as hell in real life, and especially in front of the cameras, I was amazed to see this young, pretty girl, who practically looks my age or somewhere there, to speak out so openly about her painful hyperhidrosis…[Read more]

Toby replied to the topic Lemon juice in Iontophoresis?! in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years ago
I was curious and tried adding lemon juice once when doing iontophoresis for my feet. I did not notice any special improvement, so I dropped the experimenting – as you wrote, better not to risk damaging the device itself!
As for my skin, there were no “itchy” or other unpleasant side effects. To answer your question, it's neither yay nor nay……[Read more]

Toby started the topic Your Ideal Iontophoresis Voltage? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years ago
Attention all iontophoresis users! π
What would be your ideal iontophoresis voltage? By ideal, I mean the preferred one – the one that gives you the best results, the one that you basically keep your settings on during a usual iontophoresis treatment.
I got surprised seeing that some people use very different settings, so I wanted to see just…[Read more]

Toby replied to the topic Renting an Iontophoresis Machine – Yes or No? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years ago
In my experience, renting a Fischer Galvanic was a wise call. It removed the fear of “what if I throw my money away”, and it alleviated all worries my wife had about the effect a bought iontophoresis device would have on our monthly budget.
This way, it was one small cost to begin with, and after proving itself as a wise investment, buying…[Read more]

Leons replied to the topic Dating: how to confess that you have hyperhidrosis? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years ago
Just relax. Don't think about it too much. Let things go naturally, go on dates, talk, spend more time together… Then, when the moment's right, when the situation just comes up in which it's convenient to spontaneously mention hyperhidrosis – you could mention it then.
You can see if the conversation steers somehow toward medical issues, or…[Read more]

Leons started the topic Iontophoresis + Antiperspirant = Problems! in the forum Antiperspirants Forum 10 years ago
…And by problems, I mean painful skin irritation. π
When I used only antiperspirant on my armpits (Odaban most recently), everything was fine. Then, I bought Hidrex PSP 1000 and treated my sweaty armpits with iontophoresis. At first, it was still all fine, but when I applied Odaban too, my skin had some kind of weird reaction. It burned,…[Read more]

Mary-Jane Thompson started the topic Sweat Cost Calculator on miraDry Website in the forum MiraDry Forum 10 years ago
This is scary!!
I'm thinking about undergoing a miraDry procedure for my underarm sweating. And, while surfing on their website, I found this simple, and yet telling “sweat cost calculator”.
It's upsetting to see the costs summed up like that. And, keep in mind that I already have a Hidrex iontophoresis device – I did not even include the cost…[Read more]

Mary-Jane Thompson started the topic Dating: how to confess that you have hyperhidrosis? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years ago
I'm seeing someone. It's been several casual dates so far, but things are slowly progressing and I know I won't be able to hide my condition forever. I need advice on how to deliver the news – how to confess that I have hyperhidrosis.
So far it's been easy to hide it because I have axillary hyperhidrosis – so, it's not very visible. My hands and…[Read more]

Hey Vivian, I'm back!
Just wanted to update this thread by saying that in the end I chose Idrostar +. In these past couple of months, it really made a difference, especially on my palms! π
So, to me, iontophoresis seems like the way to go if you want to get rid of sweating – or at least that was my experience. I even volunteered to blog about…[Read more]

I am going to order Drionic Underarm, so while I don't have the answer now, maybe I will have one in the future π And thanks for opening this thread – now I know that I need to be careful about washing those pads!
Btw, did you two maybe try contacting official Drionic support? - Load More
