Maybe you're onto something but one would need to know a person's blood type AND ethnic origin to draw a reasonable conclusion; it's already been established that many HH sufferes are Asian and they are more likely to have blood type B. Haven't there been quite a few postings of 'O'? Another very common blood type. I know in the UK very few people are aware of their blood type which may be why more people of other blood groups haven't posted.
Anyway, if the disposition of a type of blood has evolved over time, it's usually for a reason. Maybe all us 'Bs' are protected by our blood type-associated HH against a deadly disease. Or maybe our blood type hasn't evolved at all, we're susceptible to every ailment and we're all doomed...........!
Ok here is the record of those who has answered up til now::
1: Dont have HH- O+,O+,O+.
2: Generalised HH- A-,O.
3: Local/focal HH-(hands,feet,armpits,cranial)-B+,B+,B+,B+,O+,B-,B+,B,and B for the guy I know from another forum. And 1 person said "I have HH and have A-",but has he generalised or local?
4: No idea?But have HH - 3 persons.
So count up for your self and find out what kind of bloodtype you think the majority of us whit HH have,whatever the race is!
Another thing is that I dont personly think that local HH and generalised HH is the same kind of HH/problem.I think in generalised HH, anxiety etc can be an issue.Sorry if some is defend by this ,(hope not:)).This is just my toughts.
And from what I understand Asian dont have most trouble whith generalised HH,but lokal or focal.(dont know the name,sorry).But in different areas on the body and not all over.!!!
So out of 9 people who has answered on local HH,8 people have bloodtype B,and 1 have O+.And you have 1 person whit A- but didnt said what kind HH he/she have?.
Dont think we are doomed because of blodtype B,I think there is advantages and disadvantages about every bloodtypes and genes.But it seems that bloodtype B has different problems whit the nervesystem.
And that is offcourse the most difficult thing to understand on the human body toghether whit the brain.
Maybe we have advantages in other illness because of this.Remember its many other worse diseases out there then HH,even if sometimes we dont think so.
But I am proud of who I am and my bloodtype or whatever.We are who we are!!. But I still want to find out the reason for this fu..... riddickelus illness called HH.
If I had been a billionar I would payed the best doctors in the world to only work and find out of this illness personly.!! There just HAS to be a reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was being tongue-in-cheek when I wrote we are doomed! And apologies for not counting the replies properly.
You are right in that the nervous system is very complex so it's unlikely that a pharmacological company/organisation is going to use valuable resources to research HH when there are plenty of treatments available already. Having the generalised condition is extremely unpleasant. Most people with HH probably have general increased sweating, hence the compensatory sweating you get when you have ETS surgery. I think anxiety-induced HH is something else altogether, that's just sweating when you're nervous like many people do.
And I agree with you - HH is not debilitating and, if HH is the only thing we have to worry about, we should be extremely grateful.
Personally if I was a billionaire I'd spend the money on drugs, good food, and gorgeous buff men. I'd also move to a sunny, warm island in the Caribbean. F*** the sweat!!
Hi Klamm. This inuitiative is interesting. I have understood focal is HH on specific places, such as palms and and foot soles, and generalized is other boddy HH, such as night sweat. Focal HH is triggered by the fight or flight response, in other words from anxiety. - Yes, I know, we may not think we are "nervous", but the problem is this response is autonomous, and if the brain decide to respond this way, there is nothing we can do about it.
Anyway, in my opinion something is "sick" with this part of our sympathetic nervous system, and what sciense should do is to find where and do something about it. But the truth is they still don`t know why the response to anxiety is HH. And there is no need for it. No-one neds to sweat in the palms in order to run fast for cover in an emergency situation.
Yea I agree whit you on this.But still why and where is there something "sick" in the nervous system that make us sweat for NO reason? Like I said earlier this is very difficult to understand togheter whit the brain,and we are maybe not enough people that suffer from this illness to find out either?
Thats why I try to find out ,or air out to you guys some of my opinions why!
So thats also why I want to find out as most as possibale on what bloodtype different HH sufferes has,because I belive that maybe we dont tolerate something that we let in to our bodies that makes us sweat.Or need something?
1 example for me is that I feel that sugar triggers my sweating more than normal,but it can be other things to,could have something to do about diabetes etc,bla,bla.
I dont know, but I want a discussion about this anyway,and would like to hear your opinion about bloodtype/HH.
thanks:)
Another thing is that I dont personly think that local HH and generalised HH is the same kind of HH/problem.
Well, I don't know, I've been thinking about this lately as well, but from my own experience I think purely palmoplantar HH is the first phase of generalized HH. I have seen this in myself and also read about similar stories from others.
My HH started out as purely palmoplantar when I was about 13 y/o. I would notice in class my paws were moist and would leave prints on the table and my papers if I'd have them on there. At first it was only when it was hot or when I was feeling stressed (I wouldn't say now it was anxiety induced, especially also seeing the reaction to heat, but it still could be, in fact at that point I thought it was because I knew of no other reason for people to sweat in feet and hands).
Anyway, when I went outside, there was maybe a mild clammyness. It bothered me a lot, but it was purely hands and feet and I was convinced it would go away at some point as I grew older. Moreover, even apart from gym class, in high school we often played football or basketball outside, especially in summer, and my clothes would remain perfectly dry (no sweatpatches on trousers or arm pits at all).
This lasted till I was about 17y/o, when quite suddenly, the sweating became much worse and spread to my back, my back end, my legs/knees and sometimes also arm pits, from then on it's been getting worse and worse. Obviously, what changed here is that I formed apocrinne sweat glands, which develop in puberty (which was late for me, I grew about 30 cm (12 inch) in 2/3 years from 15 till 17, losing some of my eye sight in the process, which is quite normal for fast growth). I know so because officially eccrine sweatglands are only present in palms, feet and axills (axillary sweatglands=mixed apocrine/endocrine) and now I sweat in those other places as well.
Now interestingly, emotional sweating is said to only affect endocrine sweatglands, so you'd expect if it was purely anxiety induced, only feet, palms and axills would sweat...however this is not the case.
So...I think pamoplantar and generalized HH are the same thing, the only reason that (young) people have purely palmoplantar HH is because their sweatglands haven't fully developed yet in other areas of there body, hence, they can not possibly sweat profusely in those areas. It is a very simple explanation, but it might just be overlooked by medics...
My O-/generalised is already accounted for btw
