Hey so i've been continuing research and i've even managed to talk to a leading neurologist who works for the American Institute of Hyperhidrosis named Dr. Meyer. He actually had the surgery done for hands but told me it wasn't right for me at this point.
Like i've said before, my feet are now worse than my hands and they always have been i believe. I've done a total of about 10 treatments or so on my hands with iontophoresis. Did 5 days in a row then stopped for about two or three weeks then did another 3 days in a row and it's been a week since my last treatment. This treatment really does help. My hands are improved, but they weren't severe to begin with, i'd say moderate.
I hope my condition stays the same, I'm 22 now and i've really been treating this since i was about 16 or 17 but did notice i had sweaty palms when playing video games and also sometimes when i used to play tennis as a kid the raquet would fly out of my hand when serving, but now it never does.
I know how frustrating this can be but the important thing to realize is there are a lot worse things to have and that there are treatments. Think of what people did just 20 years ago or before. They didn't even know they had anything wrong with them and didn't think much of it. The internet has changed all that. Plus if we lived out in the woods like our ancestors we wouldn't give a crap about sweating, it's purely a social dilemma and even posting this and talking about it makes us think about sweating more which can increase our problems. so the internet for hh is bad and good.
Everyone is different and needs to try different things. i'm trying to develop a system. For hands i'll stick with iontophoresis for awhile. Now i need to figure out a plan for my feet.
Any advice. Thanks for reading this long post.
