Just had my surgery for my hyperhidrosis in my hands, armpits, and feet. All sweating has stopped!!!! Also, there is very little compensatory sweating. Go check out sympathotomy. I got it done at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.
BTW I had tried everyother treatment. They all sucked. Please dont live with this problem and go get the sympathotomy.
I am 18 years old and have had hyperhidrosis my whole life.

God bless you, well done mate i dont know you but still im really happy for you. im gonna get the sympathectomy done in a few months i hope it works for me as it has done for you. You probably are right about all other treatments sucking, however the other treatment have worked for people with milder hyperhidrosis. Mine is just too bad (sweaty hands) so antiperspirants just dont work. plus drugs u dont want to stay on them forever even if they work. i reckon acupuncture or anything will not work cause abnormal sweating is not a stress related condition.

I might be getting this operation done on my hands... depending on the success of my Ionphoresis.
But the dermatoligist said I could only have it done on one area.. because once you have the operation the sweat is diverted to another area and if you have it done all over you could end up with compensatory set all over the place.. you get the picture.
Did the doctors/dermatoligist tell you about this?

no the surgeon told me that "most people get SOME compensatory sweating on the chest and back, but this is easier to handle". i got very sweaty hands and feet, but im only getting operation done for my hands.
but i dont know u guys know this that most websites mention that people who get the sypathectomy done for their hands also have reduced sweating on the feet.
Hi. Just discovered this forum, surfing the internet. I am staying home, resting as last wednesday I had the surgery myself! (as I understand they severed only the T2, no more) So far no more sweat in my hands and feet. I really was interested in the hands. In the last months also I developed a 'blushing', but not permanently, so I will see how it develops.
My problem is that I take a little bit longerthan normal to heal as I react not very well to general anesthesia, so the first 24 hours were not pleasant. After that, much better. Also, on top of this, I got a bad cold....
This morning I woke up and felt a little bit of sweat/dampness on my thighs, minimal, as I was very cold and had put the heat on my bedroom last night. I don't know if my sore throat is part of my cold or the tube the was inserted during surgery.
My best wishes for all of you, I have read some of your stories, and they moved me to tears. Gosh...here I go again (maybe becoming emotional is a side effect too). Will keep you abreast on how I develop, maybe this could be of help to you.
My surgery was a same-day surgery, and I was blessed with the most caring and nice staff to look after me, and a wonderful husband that couldnt care less if my hands were clammy or damp.
Good Luck to you all!

Wow, its great to hear more about this surgery. Ive had HH as long as I can remember and now Im talking to my parents about the surgery. My Dr. is making me try every other solution before considering sugery, but even if these medications did work, which they dont, they are never really gonna be completely reliable and i dont want to live with them forever. I also read recently that compensatory sweating often reduces over time. If i could have this surgery tomorrow, i would, it just isnt fair that we have to live the way we do. I just want to be done with this and live my life. Thanks for talking about your surgery, its a big help.
yeah i got it done a couple months ago. i no longer sweat from my hands. but shit man it is scary that a lot of people have had some side effects. but i was lucky to come out completely ok from it.... and im glad i got it done!!! yeah but i do advise like with all things in life there are risks, its up to u if u wanna take it...ETS could be the worst thing for u or the best thing for u.
