Hello I'm Billy a 16 year old boy from luton just off of london.
I have suffered from hyperhidrosis since i was 6 that's 10 years.
Half a year ago i search the internet looking at various sites reading
various stories about people with the condition i have. Like most people
my hands sweat really bad along with my feet making my feet smell really bad.
I have been to a doctors and after trying driclor for 2 months my doctor has
considered i look into surgery. My doctor refered me to the hospital on May 11th 06.
A month later i got a letter from the hospital saying to come in and speak to a consultant
June 3rd 06 i went in. They observed me carefully and agreed with the fact that i have HH.
I then spoke with another surgeon who suggested i should go away and think for two months and discuss
it with my family. Although im so for getting this surgery done i did as he said and thought about it.
I discovered stories that i had never seen before of how bad the surgery has went for people and how it
has ruined there life. But i am still determined to get this surgery done. I went back on July 10th 06 which is
today he explained the procedure they are to let down my lungs and cut my nerve which controls the sweating to my palms.
They will do each side seperatly starting with my right side which is my dominant side decided by me. I am now going to be
having surgery on the 2nd of august 06. I will be staying in over night for safety reasons. This is sooner then i expected. I am not scared at all i am more excited. Finally i get
to get rid of what has been troubling me all these years.
I will discuss side effects and the pros and cons of having the surgery. See you all later!
