For glyco users; skin temp

Hi there,

I was wondering for those of you who use glyco, particularly does who have hand sweating; if you use glyco and it dries up your hands, how does your skin temp feel?

Cause normally along with the sweating I also have very cold hands and I think this is par for the course as far as HH goes, so I was wondering if you use meds is the skin dry, but still cold or dry and warm?

I've got palmoplantar HH and without the glyco my hands and feet were always freezing - or so everyone told me - with the glyco they seem warm (maybe they can't use sweating to cool off so the heat is trapped ?) just a thought-

When Glyco was working for me (I stopped because increasing the dosage over the years produced too many side effects), my hands certainly got warmer.

The process starts, as I suspect it does with most HH people, when my sweaty hands meet air. Since my palmar sweating doesn't seem to have much to do with thermoregulation, sweat makes my hands, and feet, freezing cold because of the continued process of sweating, evaporation, sweating, evaporation. Just as sweat cools off the body in a normal person, except palmar sweating never seems to stop regardless of the situation. Glyco cut out the sweat and, voila I had warm hands.

I am a little atypical because I have raynaud's, but the above probably still applies.

I had limited success with glyco (didn't work that well on me after 2 months, and I got side effects like drowsiness). But when I used it, my body temperature was closer to normal. My hands and feet were still a bit cold, but pretty much normal.

Just started Robinul a week ago and everything seems more normal. Hand and feet temp and they are dry!
