hey Mazegate--
glad to hear you are going to take a break and try to get life back to where you feel it needs to be. I've decided to dedicate just 1 hr a day to ETS whether its forums or sending emails. I feel stressed if i ignore ETS too much..or too little. I still believe we make a small difference to those seeking ETS. I feel if i quit posting..then its as if the surgeons have won. (gee--we put her on disbility--but she proves she can live a normal life post ETS) which we know is untrue...and i refuse to give them victory--as well as refusing to admit defeat.
basically i'm going for balance,what makes me happy and to hell with the rest!
kudos to you for hanging in there and being tough, take care:-*
My Name is lisa and about 4 years ago I had the surgery! I now agree it was the biggest mistake of my life, I sweat everywhere now and my hands have started back, I have no energy and many times have passed out in pubic, feeling an overwhelming Hot sensation, when my hands are not sweating they feel as of they are on fire I cant pick up anything they are paby power dry! I cant operate small things like cell phones and remotes! My eyes are constantly on fire and its stressful to see. I tried to contact the doctor who did the surgery but unless I wanted to travel to texas again He had no help to offer me! I am constantly hot/cold at the same time and practically live off excedrins! Before this surgery Sweating was my only problem! I only wish I could say that now. You will regret this surgery years later when as the damage from that nerves begin effecting the other parts of your body, And it never gets better only worse So My Words to you If You are considering the surgery! DONT!!!! Its not worth the side effects that come on years down the road. Many people have stated this I can only testify that what ive read is all true! For I have had the surgery and at first thought how great it was! Only to find out it wasnt great at all. I made a big mistake I only hope that I can stop just 1 person from making the same mistake.
I understand its horrible to have soaked hands and feet! But the feet sweating gets twice as worse immidiately, Your hands feel like fire and your constantly using lotion to turn a page in a book, You cannot hold on to things for your so super dry! Being wet you probably say that would be ok??? Its not and through the years the stabbing chest pains and persistant sweating all over your body You can feel heat from the bed while you sleep, as if your in a bed of fire! You have no energy and tire easily! Its not worth it! Not to stop the sweat! There is things on the market like dri sol Ive heard works Try these other options before ruining your life as I have done with this surgery.[/i]

I'm sorry to hear of the trouble the surgery has caused you Hopefully there will be advancements in the near future to restore the damage caused to the sympathetic nervous system and bring it back to its normal state.
I praise you on posting your story on here though, we need more people like you!
