Hello All
I had a sympathectomy at the age of 14. I have alot of secondary sweating plantar etc.I have tred it all Glycoplorate, botox and have resorted to taking £325 of her hard earned cash

..to buy this machine. When I first used it a few year back in a NHS hospital it had minimum effect as there was less than 400ml of water. Since owning my own machine (I am the boss of me

I top it as far as it goes. People with plantar HH know that it is not only the soles of your feet that sweat (doooh to the doctors

Honestly I am too scared to say to soon but over the past days it has been hoooot (uk-24 degrees) and usually i would be squelching in my roman sandels...which eventually break!! But I am still sweating but it has reduced (in two weeks). This does not mean that it will work for everyone but hey it is working for me so far...fingers and everything else crossed xx

another thing ive posted some threads mentioning. removing the sweat sludge from your sweaty areas. sweat sludge is the sweat that sticks to your skin. the sweat its like having vaseline, nivea blue or sorbolen on your skin then use the iontophoresis. the result is less effective.

try this for one day go for a jog and sweat as much as you can. get home take a shower with warm water try and use a cloth and wipe those areas that you sweat. if your feet sweat have them in two buckets with warm water in the shower. get out and dry then use a dry cloth and focus on wiping those sweaty areas. even between the fingers or toes. now after take a very warm bath and use 1/2 cup of salt. use a cloth wiping your sweaty areas. the bath room temperatur is important, should be warm not cold. stay in there for an hour dont let the water get cool or cold. now after this use the iontophoresis. and take your feet out to wipe the feet whenever there clammy with sweat.

the bath is very similar to when you go the pools. people have said when they go to the pools for half the day they notice when they come out their very dry, same thing. their cleaning the sweat off their feet. not only that your pores have been blocked by sweat for so long they havent got the chance too breath fresh air.

now you dont have to take a bath everyday im just proving the point that iontophoresis works better if your skin and pores are clean and dry. and also youll sweat less. bc their clean and dry.

room temperature or body temperature is important the colder it is for me the more I feel like sweat coming. even when you sleep try and stay warm wear socks then when your warm take them off. put the blanket over your head till your body temperature is warm. then go to sleep

This is why I love this site. Helpful information

Hello, everyone.
I use Hypercare (Aluminum Chloride) on my hands. It has been controlling the sweating for the past month. But tonight I decided to try iontophoresis in addition.

I made my own machine. I definitely felt the initial shock when I first put my hands in. I left them in there for about 30 minutes. After I was done, I noticed my hands were dry for about 30 minutes, but the sweating came back WORSE than before. Whats going on?
Any suggestions?
