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 also have Rheumatoid Arthritis and wonder if my immune system plays any part in worsening my condition/s . I doubt this but
you never know.
I cannot get any control over the HH, my biggest problem is when I wear shoes/slippers. My feet always seem to sweat but when I put on footwear this intensifies and the heat from my feet are tremendous. My feet don't smell but my shoes/socks quickly do ( brand new shoes ruined after a few wears ). I am always paranoid my shoes are smelling, possibly even imaging smells.
Over the years my facial and all over HH has increased and now with summer here, I dread going out, more than ever. I always pray that I don't bump into anyone I know.
I have just quit another job because of my HH and the anxiety that comes with it. I really don't know what my future holds. I think the only way I can work is with a solitary job on part time hours but doing what, I don't know.
I really wish I could go and live on a desert island somewhere by myself. It feels a lot easier to give up.
My current treatments are
Idromed 5 GS - 8mA on hands ( 15min ) 18mA on feet ( 30 mins )
Pro-Banthine & Propranolol ( largely ineffective )
Please forgive my rant but I would be grateful if anyone has any recommendations, pointers or of any kind.
Thanks
