I had ETS surgery in 2007 for my hands. I now have compensatory sweating in my back. (I don't regret having the surgery because back is preferable to hands for me)
My GP has referred me for botox at my request but it's taken a year for them to get back to me :sad:
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone's tried it for their back? Or other treatments?
I've tried medication but I don't like it as it dries out my mouth, nose & eyes - & makes my contact lenses uncomfortable, & doesn't do much. I've used antiperspirants like Triple Dry & the ones that you put on at night that are supposed to build up but haven't noticed a difference with those either.
I can never wear what I want to, I'm constantly paranoid that I have a visible wet patch & it's horribly uncomfortable. Earlier today I was sitting in a University lecture wet & cold :crying: & all I'd done is caught a train there. I can't even walk to the train station because by the time I get there my back is wet & so are my clothes before I've even gotten on the train
It's gotten to the point that I am thinking up ways to create scar tissue on my back. I've genuinely thought about setting it alight :sad:
Any suggestions welcome!!
