Hyperhidrosis: my cure

anne · Posted: Wed May 25, 2005 10:57 pm Post subject: Hyperhidrosis: my cure

Hi Im 16 years old and I suffered from hyperhidrosis all my life. I had the worst kind possible, hands, feet, facial and auxiallary. I had it set in my mind that the day I turned 18 I would get ETS because this stupid disease was ruining my life. But today I write with dry hands. I have finally found a combination that totally eliminates my hyperhidrosis. I wanted to this in hopes of helping somebody who also has this. I take Robinul everday which is a drug prescribed for drooling but a side effect of the drug helps knock down hyperhidrosis. Due to the severity of my case i also continue to use drysol for hands and feet and I use Certain Dri which an over-the-counter serum for auxilary sweating. These products completely eliminated it for me and hope they can help you too. I went from having drippy hands and feet everyday to only having a bad day once every few months. If you have an questions please email me, I really dont mind helping you at all because i know exactly what you are going through.
sincerely
anne

Im glad to know that youll give this a try. I really think it could work for you. Once you getting Robinul, which is prescribed for drooling, but a side effect of the drug can help dry out hh. Remember that for me i have two use both Robinul, which is a pill, and Drysol, which is like a topical lotion; and using one without the other is like using nothing at all for me anyways. It sounds like you have just as severe of a case of this as i did, so i really think you should give this a try. With Drysol there are no side effects and with Robinul the only side effects for me is dry mouth in the morning if I dont eat anything. But this can be easily fixed by just eating breakfast. I have been using Drysol for about 3 years now and never thought it worked until I found Robinul about 9 or 10 months ago and it completely stopped my hyperhidrosis. I am sure you can ask your doctor about prescribing you the drugs.
well good luck. let me know if you have any more questions.

hey anne

it's me again. hope you'll see this post *fingers crossed* been a bit busy lately with uni n stuff so i haven't had much time to do any "research" into hyperhidrosis, but i'm still keen to try out this Robinul. How did you get hold of it? ie did you order it over the Internet, or is it something that has to be prescribed by a doctor? Just wanna confirm this before I go to my doctor and ask him all about it if I find that it can be ordered online

Thanks Wink

You can go to http://www.drugstore.com

Link to Robinul:
http://www.drugstore.com/pharmacy/prices/drugprice.asp?ndc=59630020010&trx=1Z5006

However, since you don't live in the US, you might have to sign up for an additional site, which allows you to receive the drugs outside the US.
Of course there is always the issue whether it is legal to privately import in to your country or not.

anne (or anybody else who can be of assistance)

can you please please respond to this post if you read it! i'm going to my doctor tomorrow and i'm gonna try and persuade him to prescribe me Robinul (or an Australian equivalent) to fix my hyperhi*fucken*drosis! Laughing

is your treatment still working successfully?? i read somewhere that you can't exercise whilst using anti-drooling pills like Robinul as you'll overheat!? Do you sweat at all whilst on these drugs? i find that my hands and feet sweat when i know i'm gonna be in the spotlight/dealing with people or when it's boiling hot. no sweat otherwise...

Any response is appreciated, thank you!

Hello everyone,

I am working on a website on excessive sweat treatments together with a friend here in Romania who has this problem. You can have a alook at what we have done so far at:

Any suggestions or comments are appreciated, since we are so new at this. We hope the site will have a positive effect, just like this forum - educationg people and bringing new cures to the surface.

Regards,

im gonna get a sympathectomy done soon free on the nhs in uk. God willing it will cure my sweaty hands. From my research on the internet, the advantages of getting a sypathectomy done is 95% of the time it cures HH permanently, which may give you more confidence in life and therefore allow you to do more things which you couldnt. However the disadvantages are that most people will have compensatory sweating on there chest and back this may not be that much though (still it is better than having it on you palms, you can always wear a vest) The other problem is if the surgeon has less experience and not very skilled if the nerves are cut higher up the chain then it could lead to horners symdrome, a droopy eyelid.

Waying the advantages and disadvantages im choosing to go for an operation because the surgeon i have talked to has been doing it for 20 years this surgery and has never had anyone with the side effect of a droopy eyelid. The surgeon said most people sweat alittle more on their chest and back after surgery, but that cant be that bad can it.
