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]

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]

Voltage issue can be settled very easily. Just buy a simple voltage converter that transforms your household’s electrical current into the type that is required by your iontophoresis machine. 🙂

These converters are pretty cheap and can be bought all over the world, so I think you’re set and I wish you best of luck in getting rid of sweaty hands…[Read more]

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]

What is the name of your iontophoresis machine? Usually iontophoresis for hyperhidrosis should be without any shocks, but I don’t understand what you mean by “automatic” iontophoresis… From the way you describe it, it doesn’t sound like any of the devices I heard of. Unfortunately, it’s possible that the device you bought is simply not good, and…[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]

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]

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]

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]
