hello there
i'd just like some feedback from people who have had the endoscopic sympathecomy. it's my last resort it seems - i've tried everything but to no avail... this is just for my hands (my underarms and feet sweat too but underarms have been cured with driclor and feet don't worry me that much)
if someone could answer me these Q's i'd be a very happy person
1) where are the most common areas of compensatory sweating? can this be determined before the operation (ie would they be able to tell me that i'll sweat "here" if i get such and such a nerve cut)
2) is there ALWAYS some form of compensatory sweating after the sympathectomy? how i see it, is that the sweat must come out somewhere, so if one outlet gets blocked off, it must come out somwhere else - right?
3) is the compensatory sweat tolerable? eg i was thinking that if my hands became "cured" i don't think i'd be as nervous in social situations cuz i'd know my hands would be dry...
4) i posted this somewhere else..and it sounds stupid i know, but it's worth a shot! can't "they" remove some sweat glands from the body so HH sufferers don't sweat as much!? there's got to be some way to get rid of this f*cked up condition! it's impossible to live with!
i'd really love to hear some feedback, particularly from anyone who has had the sympathectomy or anyone that can answer my Q's!
Cheers :wink:
