BOTOX

Hi all,

regular viewers will know that I am a facial/cranial sufferer of HH. Basically I sweat massively from the face in certain conditions.

2 years ago I had an operation to remove a lump from the perotid gland, the gland that produces saliva in the neck. Thankfully, the lump was benign. However, a side affect is that when I eat any food, I sweat profusely on my left cheek, a condition known as Freys Syndrome. . This is on top of my HH that I already have.

Anyway, I am going to the hospital on 7th Nov to get Botox on my cheek to stop this additional sweating as advised by my doctor.

Will let you know how it goes because as you might expect, many of you may be wondering if Botox can help with your conditions.

I might even ask him to inject my whole face .... no not really, but it is another avenue that we have to explore.

Hi, I had botox injections under my arms for my sweating, all though there was some pain it was worth it!!! :D that was 4 months ago, unfortunately the sweating is returning slightly but Im due for more injections in 2 months time.

Just wanted to say good luck with them!!

botox

Fallenangel, I was just wondering, how long did it take your injections to take effect? And did it completely take away your sweating?
I just got botox for my underarms earlier today and so far I see no improvement...
 
Hi st00pid-cupid,
When I had mine done it took a couple of days for the botox to start working. I have to say though it stopped the sweating all together and it was so good, it completely changed my life, it was weird at first not having to worry about changing my top etc. Its well worth the pain!! The sweating is gradually coming back now but Im due to have the injections again soon.

Hope it works for you !!

XxXx

I had my botox injections yesterday in the left side of my cheek, about 8 in all. A little painful, sort of like 8 bee stings but nothing to worry about. I was told it would be a couple of days for them to kick in and so far no change in that when I eat my cheek 'sweats'. Will keep you updated even though this is not addressing my general facial HH. I jokingly asked for a couple of injections under my eyes as a freebee but to no avail !!
