Greetings..! 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

…I'm not laughing! 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. 😈

Ramona, please take care and be cautious about taking medication, especially if you're planning to get some real hyperhidrosis drugs. 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. It should be a win-win…[Read more]

Twinkle started the topic Can one have multiple Iontophoresis treatments simultaneously? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
Having hyperhidrosis in several body areas makes iontophoresis seem like a challenging treatment option, so I wondered if anyone does it? Is it doable in the long run?
If iontophoresis is so great, I would consider buying a device and all necessary accessories. If I do this, can I run iontophoresis to treat hands, feet and underarms…[Read more]

Twinkle replied to the topic Hyperhidrosis Medication in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
Oral medication is the right approach for me because I have plantar and palmar and axillary excessive sweating… Pretty general and difficult to treat with antiperspirants and so on.
My main qualm with medication is that it can cause various side effects… What if there's a reason why some things are only available through prescription? I don't…[Read more] -

Hi,
I have just learned on another forum that getting medication without prescription can be possible, but a lot of it depends on where you live! So, it seems that getting Robinul in UK is very difficult, in USA you need a prescription, and in Canada you can just buy it like you would buy an Aspirin!
A lot of people apparently buy Canadian…[Read more]

Sean M. replied to the topic Iontophoresis for Axillary Hyperhidrosis in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
I have tried this about 2 years ago with a borrowed iontophoresis machine (I think it was Hidrex?) and my treatments were semi-successful. 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.
Anyway, I wanted to say that to me, the biggest issue with this was…[Read more]

Toby started the topic Treating back sweating with Hidrex in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
Trying to find something that could put an end to my night sweating & back sweating, I ran into this:
Ordering this on top of the regular Hidrex package should make it possible to treat back (or chest) sweating. I tried looking for some more information on this, and according to the guys from Hidrex, a lot of these…[Read more]

Toby started the topic Night Sweating & Antiperspirants – help! in the forum Antiperspirants Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
I know it's a common rule to apply antiperspirants in the evening, after the shower, because that is when we are supposed to sweat less. That way, the antiperspirants have enough time to work their magic before we get sweaty. Okay, I get that, but what do I do when I sweat at night?
I have to deal with some excessive sweating during the day, and…[Read more]

jessie replied to the topic Hyperhidrosis is ruining my social life in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
Hi Becky! Trust me, you're not alone in this… I know exactly how tiresome this struggle is, halfway between anxiety and sweating, all the time… It wears me out, I think it's taxing and exhausting on some emotional level, which is probably why we don't feel like socializing that much. I mean, it's easier to stay at home and be comfortable,…[Read more]

Sean M. replied to the topic Sweating at night in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 9 months ago
Try wearing sweat-proof undershirts or pajamas while you sleep, if it's not too uncomfortable for you. 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]

Toby started the topic Sweating at night in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 9 months ago
A few weeks ago I mentioned my problems with night sweating, partly due to my overactive sweat glands and partly due to the fact we don't have an air conditioner in the bedroom. Since then, my night sweating got even worse.
I've grown extremely tired thanks to waking up 3-4 times every night. Changing my clothes doesn't help, because the sheets…[Read more] -

Hi Mary-Jane, welcome to this cozy corner of the Internet. 😉
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. :/
My advice: stop with…[Read more] -
jessie replied to the topic What's Your Hyperhidrosis Story? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 9 months ago
Hi there! Have a fun stay here!
I have plantar and palmar hyperhidrosis combo since I was 18, and so far I haven't yet experimented with too many treatments. Mostly just antiperspirants to stop excessive sweating. I tend to get nervous around people in real life, so I love chatting online. Feel free to send me a private message so we can also…[Read more]
