Just buy a simple voltage converter that transforms your household’s electrical current into the type that is required by your iontophoresis machine. πŸ™‚

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]

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.

I don’t typically feel like using face wipes – and I don’t really need them, but recently I started running in the mornings.

Welcome to the club! I in particular feel a little better seeing that I am not the only one whose heavy sweating is heavily influenced by emotions. Although I am not anxious, I understand what it’s like to have your overactive sweat glands freak out as soon as something gets your heart beat faster. That’s SO not fun. πŸ™
Cya around! πŸ™‚

I read your story and wonder if your causes of excessive sweating are partly psychological. Please don’t take offense, but maybe it only seems to you that your excitement is normal. Maybe you actually tend to get overexcited when talking to other people.

How do you normally feel around people? Does excessive underarm sweating happen to you e…
