I've had hyperhidrosis on my hands and feet for many years now, and have tried a few things with little success.
I've tried anhydrol forte, which caused too much irritation so stopped using that quite quickly. Had iontophoresis done at the hospital for about a year or so, which worked for the first 6 months, then the effect slowly deteriorated. I now have my own machine, which doesn't do anything for me now at all. It doesn't help with my sweating, I tried using it every week and giving it a break to see if that would help, but was no help (I was told I should not use it more than once a week).
Have just come off Propantheline tablets, which seemed to make my sweating much worse... I don't know how this is possible but it seemed to trigger my sweating a lot more often.
My doctor has suggested surgery and I am due to go for an assessment in a couple of months, but I would prefer to avoid going through this if possible. I was thinking of trying Odaban or the Perspirex hand and foot lotion, has anyone had any experience of these, and what are their effects?
It seems that now, when I'm inside, my sweating gets worse on my hands and feet, and when I go out, I seem to start sweating all over my body, but my hands and feet aren't that bad. Seems weird, don't know if it's just me? I noticed this started getting worse since I started taking the Propantheline tablets, which I have now stopped taking.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks!
