In the last year or so, I have had an increase in groin sweating. This is more prevalent when working, exercising and walking. Lately I have been using large womens ( Tena xtra )incontinence pads to combat this although they are not best suited to men. Does anyone have any better suggestions...

I was wondering if people had recognised any definite signs that their iontophoresis treatments are working. I had a spell of 4-5 months last year when my treatments, combined with with Lyrinel XL gave me almost complete dryness at times. Unfortunately this effect waned and ever since I have...

I was wondering if many UK sufferers have managed to acquire Avert. I was told by the pharmacist at Pharmacy.ca I would require a doctors note ( due to medicines I currently take, which would clash ) which will be unlikely as the Dermatologist previously said it was a no-no. Are there any...

Hi, just looking for some advice. I currently take Lyrinel XL 20mg daily, coupled with using an Idromed 5 GS. My regime is usually to take 15mg first thing and to not eat for at least 1-2 hrs. I had been having good results until recently but as you will know the medicine/treatments effects...

Hi, was wondering if anyone has found that plantar hyperhidrosis has affected their toenails. Surely constant wet/dampness may lead to some damage. In the last six months, my toenails have become more opaque, discoloured and a little corrugated. All similar to a fungal infection, though I've...

Hi, I was hoping someone could tell me if it is possible to obtain Pro-Banthine without a doctors prescription. I am currently on Lyrinel XL 10mg ( 15mg from 10/10/2015 ) but one day tried taking a Pro-Banthine as well, 1 hr after eating and approximately 2hrs after taking my Lyrinel. I found...

Hi, just a quick question. Has anyone discovered a method for covering all of their feet whilst using their machine? I currently put two wet clothes on each foot, with no great success. I was wondering if a very light soaked sock could be worn to ensure full coverage. Thanks

Forgive me if I am asking a question that has been asked several times before. I have read through several posts on the forum. I have recently switched from Pro-Banthine to Ditropan. Week 1 - 5mg Week 2 - 10mg daily Week 3 - 3x5mg daily I am now on week 2 and took 10mg for the first time...

Due to ongoing treatments with my Idromed 5 GS the skin on the underside and heel of my right foot has started to crack. I have applied vasoline to the areas but it is still proving too painful. Does anyone know if I could stop my treatment maybe for 2-3 days to allow my skin to start healing...

I have been using an Idromed 5 GS since 2008. I have never had great success but at times my hands would be dry. I have currently been using the machine daily ( missed 2 days ) for the last 5/6 weeks but am having no joy. My settings are Hands 7/8mA for 15 mins and feet 18mA for 30 mins...

I'm just looking for any help or advice. I'm an HH sufferer of 20+ years ( Mild to medium ). Generalised HH but my feet are my biggest concern. I always also feel that my body is burning up. I also have Reynauds, which may be connected and I suspect doing Iontophoresis does not help this. I...

Hi, I've just been given Pro-Banthine and Propranolol by my doctor via the Dermatology dept at my local hospital. I was told to take Propranolol first to see what effect it has. I took it for one day as it is supposedly quick working. I did feel it generally improve my mood and led to a...

I was just wondering whether people have found jobs they can do where their HH might not be less of an issue. Lately I having been doing office work but my plantar HH has made this virtually impossible. When in work my whole body sometimes get wet and my feet can get extremely warm as soon as...

Hi, For several years I have been using an Idromed 5 GS for my hands and feet. I have had success with my hands but limited success with my feet. Lately I have not been able to get any real success. I have been using my machine almost daily for over a month, missing -maybe 4-6 sessions...

Having had Generalised HH ( or what I believe is HH ) for over 20yrs- since my late teens - , I thought I'd share what happens and see if anyone would have any advice to offer. I use an idromed 5GS which often dries the skin on my hands and feet ( less so ) out without totally stopping any...

Hi, I was a member years ago but forgot my username etc. I'm still struggling with generalised HH but mainly hands and feet, with my feet being the main issue. Hope people can help me with some questions/issues and as you probably all know HH starts to grind you down. I've read people talk...
