Dear teandtoast. Thanks for your remarkably sharp analysis of my situation. You´ve clearly read the bulk of my insignificant posts and understand the scope of it to the core, at a much higher level than me, in spite of your only 4 years of experience with excessive sweating. I´m very grateful that you have taken your grace to step down to my level, exposing my pitiful superficial person.
I skimmed the surface of the ocean of your own extensive and most impressing resources here at Social Phobia World, to get a hint of what might be the origin of your vast human insight and wit. But I´m foundering at whether it may be, that you´re still living with your mother in between your week-end drinking binges, or the fact that you don´t eat anything throughout the day, which has caused your unique intellect to arise. Sir, I am in awe at the powers of your observation. Are you 20-33 % over, or are you in the distinctly obese category though ? Do you have your type 2 diabecy diagnosed yet? The descriptions of your life style in mind, merely a question of time I should think.
Don´t even consider ETS if you want to hear my point of view. I tried it, when I was as desperate as you. I had no good experience with sleek surgeons passing time away from the country club. And sweet, desolate Ralphy, may you regain the lust for life soon. If from the murky pit of your navel, you could look beyond the ranges in the horizon but for a moment only, you might read my first post in this string again, and see that I was making an innocent general point, rather than commenting on your specific case. Unlike someone else in here, you might also do me the favour of taking your own excellent advice, rather than steep in malicious choice of words.
There is certainly hope. I believe there could be a solution in reviewing and recombining diet. Atleast I found that some of my own uncontrollable sweating is connected to my choice of foods. E.g. even the mildest chili can make me sweat uncontrollably, and certain fruits e.g. apples can also provoke sweat on my forehead, although they don´t always, so it may be down to which species of apples I eat. Painstaking registry of what you eat, studying food declarations and learning about nutrition could be a way ahead. I´m not trying to diagnose anybody, and I´m not making this comment with any specific focus on your situation though, so relax ok? Cheer up, spring is coming.
Bill-uk, thanks for your post about things you don´t recall, but which you nevertheless seem to think have a bearing on this string. If you want to have an understanding of what is it you´re writing about, you can find all the original posts from ESFB channel posted in this forum, including the posts ED at ESFB deleted to cover up for themselves. I don´t intend to discuss those posts with you or anyone else though. I made the information available for people in this forum to make their own assessment of ESFB channel.
Fuck me that made for boring reading...
You should stop making stupid assumptions you fool...I am from obese if anything I am under weight for my age.
Weight has nothing to do with HH anyway...yes fat people may sweat more than thin people doesn't mean they have HH.
No-one has mentioned him getting ETS so why do you suggest he shouldn't when the idea of doing it wasn't even there in the 1st place.
Dismissing other options which have worked for alot of other people (such as botox) is just stupid and not helpful.
Anyway please don't reply with another one of your lengthy boring I'm so intelligent replies...u quite obviously aren't the HH know it all as u would like to think....u certainly are one cool mother fooker thats for certain

I didn't recall which site, but thank you for the clarification of the site from which you've been banned and also for your helpful response to teandtoast and myself.
Ralphy, I wish you well in your quest for solutions, I have the same condition on the face and head and have done since I was an 18 year old very fit teenager playing sports at county level. Both topical and oral medications are available as posted by Pinker in the first post and I would suggest starting with the topical ones first. Secure wipes ( from www.pharmacy.ca) seem to help many people but they were not effective for me, nor was anhydrol, so I eventually tried Probanthine orally but only in exceptional conditions and it seems to be working for me. As Hyper-Hydro stated, diet and exercise may help some and it sure does alleviate the condition, but the excessive nature of this sometimes calls for other measures as I have found personally. Good luck and post back how you are doing.
Well Bill, it seems to me you remembered the site well enough to mention it in your post, but nothing about what actually went on there. If you have any beef with me about that, I think you should come out more clearly and directly about it, instead of slipping in here, pissing in the corner of the room and slip out as if nothing happened.
What you're going thru is hell. I'm nearly 50 and I can tell you from my on experience that you have to take one day at a time. Just keep in mind that tomorrow you may feel better. Maybe not that much but it can vary from day to day. There is hope! The problem we have hinders us. Just keep in mind that what we feel is terrible but not hopeless. I know from experience. Just take it one day at a time! No matter how horrible you feel, your life is precious! Life is hard for everyone. We just have a few more problems. Life is about struggles and surviving. Hang in there!
I don't wanna sound patronising but we are all in this together. It's hard enough to deal with f ** idiots that make fun of us people with HH, so we don't need to be nasty and rude to each other.
I, for one, will not ever consider ETS as even though i would give EVERYTHING to permanently get rid of this nasty condition (even millions if i had any!), i would not consider ETS because i would not take the risk, HH all over my body would mean the end of everything and i think i'd rather *****.
As for bottox, well, why not if you can afford it and don't mind having a treatment every 3 months or so.
I would sugget, if you havent' tried already, to start from the basic : odaban in combinaison with other natural stuff. Maybe it won't work but you have to try several things before choosing the extreme and more invasive methods.
As for GP's, well forget . They don't have a clue about HH. I might acually see one again but ONLY so that he can refer me to a dermatologist. Even then, i don't have much hope. Your best option is to 'shop around' on the net and see what's work for you. I have a very severe form of plantar HH and i have managed to reduce the sweating a lot.
hi ralphy. Try spraying odaban on your forehead at night, that might work. Or secure wipes from www.pharmacy.ca or maybe avert tablets again from pharmacy.ca gives these a try its worth a shot, oh i've just thought maybe maxim wipes as well. hope that helps
hey Ralph, your situation sounds similar to mine - I'm 26, had HH since my early 20s and have BAD facial/cranial HH along with just about everywhere else on my body, face/cranium being the most distressing. And yes, lonely too - the last 4 years have been hell. They say 1 in 100 people have HH but I have never in my life come across anyone with it as bad as mine the only people I talk to about it are the few people on here.
I've caved in and bought medication from that pharmacy.ca site just recently and they do work to a degree though I am a bit concerned about side effects.

Ralphy, I didn't see your post previously.. there seems to be a lot of posts on here lately. I'm sorry to hear about how you're feeling, but there are a lot of people here who can relate. Please stick around here and you should hopefully find some things that start to work for you.
