    Allergies anyone?

    I recently had some allergy testing done (and a test for h.pylori) because aside from the HH that's been haunting me for about a decade now I had started to develop some other discomforts as well (bloating, pains in my chest/belly, dry mouth while not on meds). The h.pylori came back positive...

    My right hand is colder than left

My HH goes along with sometimes very red, wet and warm hands (and feet/limbs), but usually they are dead cold (really dead cold) and clammy. I think this has something to do with the in my Guesstimation cause...

    Careful if you're importing meds

    Hi, After finding out that an appointment with a medic that I think might acknowledge the superiority of robinul over other anticholinergics is not able to take place until 7 weeks from now, I looked somewhat further into ordering it online via pharmacy.ca. If I'd try a trial package of 30...

    tiotropium update

    Hi guys, Sad news...I contacted Boehringer Ingelheim about the potential of tiotropium in the treatment of hh. As you might know tiotropium is an anticholinergic like glyco etc. It's used with an inhaler for COPD. Because it's a quaternary amine like robinul, it doesn't cross the blood/brain...

    true story

    Hey guys, I informed a neurologist who does some research what's (according to me) the cause of HH ;), so in say, 10 years, we'll be a-ok.

    Spiriva/tiotropium bromide

    Hey guys, As you might know from my earlier posts glycopyrrolate seems not to be available here in the Netherlands, and neither is propantheline bromide. So I've been looking for other anticholinergics of the quarternary amine kind (the kind that doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier and...

    Hi guys, Just wakin'up in the morning gotta...oh wait... Anyway, as of today I'm trying out if topamax helps the HH. I wanted to try glyco with ionto first but apparently that is not at all available here in the Netherlands, so now for next time I'm hoping to find another good anticholinergic...

    neurotransmitters cause of HH

    Hi people, So, at this point, I have a sneaky suspicion a neurotransmitter imbalance is causing HH, so I looked into it and found this; Peripheral amplification of sweating – a role for calcitonin gene-related peptide I found out recently that apart from acetylcholine, which we all know and...

    how about this puppy?

    Cyproheptadine (pronounced /ˌsaɪproʊˈhɛptəˌdin/; usually as cyproheptadine hydrochloride, trade name Periactin) is an antihistaminic/anticholinergic and antiserotonergic agent. It acts as a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist and also blocks calcium channels. Sounds like a whole bunch of things that...

    Blood Pressure and HH

    Hey guys, I was wondering, since most of us have a couple of things in common already (like HH, but also oftentimes either cold/clammy then warm/red/clammy extremities, some amelioration om symptoms when drinking booze), whether any of you guys also have a fairly high blood pressure. Me...

    lab-findings/endocrinology till now

    Hi there, I've been away from this forum some time since I was hoping to get some results to share before posting again. I have some interesting lab results now, however no clear cut diagnosis yet much less a solution to the sweating. Still, it would be great if more people with HH have done...

    Anyone had an MRI or CT scan?

    Hi there, Looking for possible underlying causes of HH, you come across quite some exotic diseases...mostly spinal cord or brain abnormalities, rare tumors (for instance, syringomyelia + Chiari malformation, pheochromcytoma, pituitary gland tumors and a whole bunch of other random bad things)...

    Having tests done

    Hi guys, yet another post :) I went to a less than understanding doc today and I pressed for some testing. The doc (being less than understanding) was reluctant to do anything really, but eventually when I said I haven't ever had so much of as a test for hyperthyroidism he conceded to at...

    cholinesterase

    As I was thinking about HH like I do all the time, I had the following thoughts--> sweating begins due to 2 possible systems in every human...one of them is the nervous system (hypothalamus, pituitary gland, nerve pathways) and one of them are glands secreting hormones (thyroid, adrenal glands...
