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]

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]

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]

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]

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.

Toby replied to the topic Lemon juice in Iontophoresis?! in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 9 months 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, 9 months ago
Attention all iontophoresis users! 🙂
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, 9 months 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]

Toby started the topic Battery Life in Homemade Iontophoresis Machines in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 11 years, 3 months ago
First of all, I love this video on how to make your own iontophoresis machine. I makes the whole process seem incredibly easy, to the point where I was left wondering why don’t more people opt for homemade devices… (But yes, I know, portability is a big issue with homemade iontophoresis.)
I would like to know how long the battery life is in…[Read more]

Toby replied to the topic Low-voltage current VS. High-voltage current in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 11 years, 3 months ago
I think you should just stick with what you know. If iontophoresis currently works for you and you are satisfied and have no side-effects, why should you risk wrecking that balance? If you start sweating profusely again, it might take you weeks to get back at where you are now. Just my two cents! 🙂

Toby started the topic Treating back sweating with Hidrex in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 11 years, 4 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 11 years, 4 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]

Toby started the topic Sweating at night in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 11 years, 5 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] - Load More
