...from all you veterans. I don't post much but I'm having an interesting experience. I know that everybody's physiology is different, but I hope there are some parallels with other people here. Please pardon the backstory, sometimes I drone on. If you want to skip it all and see my question, please go to the numbers! I appreciate any insight.
I recently got divorced so I've really been trying hard to cure or slightly reduce HH because I'm still young and want to date. One of the best qualities I remember about my ex wife was that she accepted my HH and never once mentioned it in almost 8 years of marriage (yet my personality wasn't good enough!). She would hold my hand, do things with me, etc and it never once phased her, even when we first met. Anyway, I never made it a priority to find treatment.
I started with the cheap, easy solutions. I tried sage tea, no effect. I tried prescriptions like robinul, which dried me out everywhere but hands and feet. I tried magnesium, no effect tried Green Vibrance ( a superfood), no effect. I tried eating nothing but fruits, veggies, and only water, and running 3 or 4 miles a day for a while, no effect. All those things made me feel better, but my hh remained moderate too severe and never changed.
I ramped up my approach recently. I ordered a drionic machine and drysol from canada. I tried the drysol and have been on it for a week. This leads me to a series of question:
1) How do you apply it? I use a cotton ball. I notice if it gets on the tops of my fingers or wrists where there is no HH, I break out in rashes, but on my hands it turns white and stays white.
2) I noticed my hands stay "dry" and cracked and I have noticed a significant reduction in sweating. My hands look like I lay bricks all day, even when a little sweat breaks through. My hands still sweat, but not nearly as much. I can even feel the sweat coming but not as much pops out. My fingers sometimes swell up like water balloons, and I found that hilarious. Anyone else notice this?
3) Do you wear gloves at night? I noticed that only vinyl gloves work with sweaty palms, so I wear those.
4) How often do you use it, and when do you run out? I use it nightly so far, and I bout the 37.5 ml bottle from canada.
5) My main question... For those who use drysol and ionto simultaneously... how do you do it? Each one nightly? Alternate nights? Also... drysol makes my hands dry to the point of appearing white and cracked.... is that painful with into?
6) What is the overall reduction percentage wise with ionto+drysol for those who've tried? So far, I'd like to think that drysol has given me a 30-40% reduction. I'm hoping for a 75% reduction using ionto, drysol, and of course the sage tea, magnesium, vitamins, etc daily.. cant hurt right?
7) Im doing treatment now and its spring, so the temperature is moderate. Do you notice more sweating in the summer, or is the overall sweating the same year round, if treatment is effective?
Thanks to all, sorry for the long winded post.
