I am new to this forum so here is a little background from me beforehand.
Age: 23
Age when HH started: 12
Areas affected: Mostly Palmar/Plantar, Underarm, upper lip & Groin/thighs (so I guess that is general HH).
Treatments tried: Only Drysol which I tried on hands/upperlip/underarm. It has worked well for my upper lip and underarm but not so well for my hands.
I recently moved away from home and started uni. This has caused me alot of anxiety/stress, some of it just being normal since I am in a new environment and have never lived away from home, but a large part being that I am concerned that HH will affect me in school and in my future career. Since moving I have had a severe increase in sweating.
I know that my HH is mostly triggered by anxiety and stress. When I am 100% relaxed and not thinking about HH, then I am likely to be dry for the most part. I don't feel like my HH is due to an anxiety disorder but rather that the stress/anxiety that is caused by my HH results in a dramatic increase in its symptoms.
My question to you guys is if anyone else experiences this and if so have you tried taking anti-anxiety meds & did it work?
P.S. I have ordered Robinul/Avert from pharmacy.ca and it should be arriving tomorrow so I will let you guys know how that works out.
