jessie replied to the topic Excessive sweating as a symptom of serious medical condition in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
This is interesting, and also worries me a little. I never undertook any blood (or other) tests that should determine if I really have “only” hyperhidrosis.
However, I remember reading that excessive sweating in localized areas of the body AND first appearing in adolescence or earlier is likely a primary hyperhidrosis; on the other hand, excess…[Read more] -

I'm sure we all occasionally find ourselves in a really bad situation of meeting someone who is openly, blatantly rude. You probably know what I'm talking about – a snide remark that mocks your sweaty palms, or a wet brow, or stains on your clothes from underarm sweat, or body odor…
As if we're not having a bad time anyway! 🙁
Well, it can't…[Read more] -
Steve replied to the topic Sunscreen and facial sweating in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
Make sure to always apply the lotion a lot earlier before you go out – stay in a cool place (like at home with your air condition turned on) to make sure your face won't sweat too much (or at all!) and wait until your sunscreen lotion completely dries off. And I stress completely! And then wait some more. 😆 And then go out.
With this,…[Read more]

Steve replied to the topic Hidrex Iontophoresis Machines in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
I have heard that Hidrex is good for treating excessive armpit sweating, but I don't know if it is as effective as it is for treating palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis. Anyone with experience is free to enlighten us. 😀
And I agree with Elena there – iontophoresis machines have that kind of reputation… but the way things are going, this will…[Read more] -
Steve replied to the topic miraDry in the forum MiraDry Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
If all turns out to be good in a few years miraDry could be a real deal
My sentiments exactly. A permanent hyperhidrosis cure without a hyperhidrosis surgery, that's what we need. And underarm sweating is especially tricky with underarms being so sensitive… Ah what am I saying, it's equally bad wherever you sweat. =)
Anyway, back on topic – as…[Read more] -

@ Tim
Heh, you forgot to add one important thing: miraDry is currently used only to stop underarm sweating. Not everyone knows that… Given that I have axillary hyperhidrosis, I've been researching miraDry as well. As of now I am not sure if I really need a strong procedure like that… maybe someday.@ Leons
miraDry is supposed to be a real…[Read more] -

Steve replied to the topic Emotions and heavy sweating in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
Hey there ladies! 🙂
I am not so great when it comes to supportive talk, but I really wanted to give you a hand somehow… So, I found a good website and opened a special topic about anxiety and hyperhidrosis.
There is also a link which includes tips and tests… well, you will see. I hope you will find it somewhat useful, and I am sure there are…[Read more] -
Steve started the topic Anxiety and Hyperhidrosis in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
Reading through this forum, I have noticed talk about anxiety and its connection to hyper hydrosis.
While we know what hyperhidrosis is, it's not so easy to figure out what's anxiety – I mean, what's the difference between a small anxiety issue and the real (maybe even clinical) problem.I ran into a really good website, which I hope will be…[Read more]

@ Ramona
Hi! From the looks of it, we're 2 different sides of the same coin: I have anxiety issues BECAUSE I'm sweating too much, whereas you sweat too much because of anxiety.
So, in a mirror reflection, I understand how you feel. I am sure you'll be able to overcome your problems and then you can brag to us how you're not sweating profusely anymore. 😉 -
jessie replied to the topic Have you tried Iontophoresis? DId it work for you? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
That's so great how the treatment worked for your daughter! =) It never even occurred to me how hyperhidrosis can create serious problems for someone who engages in activities that strictly require dry hands – like gymnastics, for example…
I definitely want to try iontophoresis, from what I've read this seems to be the best method for curing…[Read more]

jessie replied to the topic Footwear for Hyperhidrosis in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
Does special footwear help with the odor? Or how do you deal with that?
These brands look good, btw. I see some of these sell on Amazon, so I might as well give it a go… Although I typically don't like buying shoes online, it's a different story with flip-flops. Not that many worries about buying the right size with them. 😀 And I suppose that…[Read more] -
Steve started the topic Sweatproof Clothes in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
Surfing across some tempting websites that sell sweat-proof clothes (Kleinert, for example) got me thinking that I never gave a decent chance to this method of dealing with excessive perspiration. Okay, in my case it's excessive underarm sweating specifically – and clearly this is the type of hyperhidrosis that benefits from sweat-proof clothes…[Read more]

Steve replied to the topic Age and Hyperhidrosis in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
My excessive armpit sweating stayed the same throughout the years – in fact, for about two decades now! The change in intensity had more to do with the shifts in my fitness level, or winter/summer seasons, etc.
I daresay that it gets easier as time goes by – by now I had a lot of time to figure out how to stop sweaty armpits, and tried out a lot…[Read more]

jessie started the topic Age and Hyperhidrosis in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 10 months ago
Does hyperhidrosis get better or worse as you grow older? Or does it stay the same? Is this individual or is there some general rule?
I would really appreciate some input from those who have lived with hyperhidrosis for many years now. I read that it often gets worse, which is not an encouraging thought. 🙁
Okay, some theories say that what…[Read more] -

If only I had friends who sweat too much, my life would be much nicer. Haha, okay, that sounds ridiculous, but you get what I mean! XD
Tim you're totally lucky to have a friend who understands you! If there are really 180 million people out there with hyperhidrosis, I'm sure I will sooner or later run into someone who's also dealing with profuse…[Read more]
