Anyone currently using Iontohporisis - Page 3

What I meant by reverse polarization was that using my home made device. I reversed the polarity by disconnecting the wires from my tubs and switched them to the other tub. I did twenty minutes one way and then switched for 10 more once a day.

I'm on day 8 right now, been doing treatment twice a day and I think im getting a lil bit of dryness on sections of my palm, but the fingers are still sweaty, not as bad as before tho. I realized that submerging my hands into the water doesn't work as well as having them just touching the surface of the water.

g35:
Congratulations. Keep it up. Hopefully soon it will just be a maintenance plan for you.

I'm getting really dried skin between my fingers, do you guys just use lotion?

one more thing, when can i stop doing it everyday and just start with the maintenance plan?

JohnSwead · 03-09-2009, 03:32 PM

I use lotion
You can stop everyday when you feel comfortable in how much you are sweating.
Also try backing off to once a day first instead of two and see how that works out.

this is day 11 and I'm quite satisfied with the results, even though I'm not 100% dry yet, I'm more or less 90%. I'm really happy I don't soak my test papers anymore and i can actually concentrate more on my work. I can't believe that after 15 years, I can finally open up to more social situations, iontophersis works!

Hi all, first official post here. So happy I found this forum, it seems like the best online for HH. I've had moderate to severe palmar and planter HH since young childhood, I cannot remember a time without it. I also have it more mildly in axillary in groin areas.

Just started iontoporisis for the very first time 2 days ago. I made the DIY machine, using pie pans for my hands and roaster pans for my feet. I started with 18v but bumped it up to 24v the next day. So far I think I'm just sweating more. I know it's too soon to see results but I was hoping I magically would. The 24v seemed to give my hands and feet a bit more of a sunburned feeling than the 18v. Whatever, don't care, this must work.

If it doesn't I'm ordering Avert in pill form. For those who had it shipped to the US, did everything work out ok?

A few years back I took Robiunul Forte 2mg x2 each day but hated the dry mouth side affects. Also when I worked out I'd just turn really red and not sweat. But I'm willing to give it another shot. Don't have insurance now so ordering from Canada seems like a better option than paying to see a doc who knows less about HH than I do.

Here's to hoping I have my first summer where I don't go through 15 pairs of shoes.

Oh hey I didn't know that would imbed. I just pasted the link.

Anyway I did my 3rd treatment last night, and it was the first one that was actually quite unpleasant. I found myself moaning and groaning from the itching and burning during the treatments. I somehow managed 15 min on each polarity for my hands but could only bear 10 min on each polarity for my feet.

Mainly the tops of my fingers, the areas around my nails, and in between in my toes drove me crazy. I put some aloe lotion on afterwards, everything looked sunburned. This morning it mostly seems to have gone away but I think I'll try to use vaseline on certain areas for tonight's treatment.

I just kept telling myself the short period of discomfort is worth it if it works.
