Sweat, and anxiety. What to do?

Well-known member
So here is my basic story,

I have tried ionto, hardly worked (and I tried doing my absolute best to work)
I have tried antiperspirants, namely drysol and driclor, they also only work to a degree
I have tried dehydral, worked to a degree, but same problem didn't totally do the trick

The thing is, all of these cannot stop my fingertips (I play piano, so a big problem for me) from sweating, and also the side of my hand (area below the pinky). I went to a dermatologist today, he basically told me, live with it. Good suggestion, but I think if there was any possible way to dryness, I'd take it (except ETS, a catch 22 really)

So this is what I have come up with... use robinul/avert/glyco and try botox.
I live in Canada, so does anyone know how I should go about attaining these things. And any clue of if insurance covers it.

Has anyone gotten robinul covered by insurance, what about botox. Any help would be appreciated, any suggestions, anything at all!

Thanks

PS - I also notice that my hands tend to shake, like a tremor, could this and sweating be related, should I take blood tests, oculd it be a thyroid issue? Im still a teenager, so I am not quite sure.

I would definitely try robinul it worked for me, only annoying thing was having to deal with a dry throat but it was well worth it. I now take ditropan because robinul was not available in australia and its much much cheaper than ordering robinul online. I took 6mg in the morning at 6 am of robinul and was dry until 5pm sometimes all night too,. But now taking ditropan i can maintain dryness 24/7 with less of a dry throat for some reason, only bad thing is its longer to take a piss haha. Pharmacy.ca is located in toronto maybe you vould visit them in person if u live there.

PS - I also notice that my hands tend to shake said:
i would defo get blood tests, even just to ease your anxiety when they come back clear
vitamin B strong compound is supposed to stop the shaking/tremors

"Avert" is the brand name for glyco made and distributed by pharmacy.ca You can go online and learn more.
It's OTC, so not covered by insurance--or not mine, anyway. (Annoying, since it's only available over one counter). My doctor does give me a prescription, though, so I can claim it on income tax.

Another suggestion: "Secure" pads, also through pharmacy.ca. They're a topical version of glyco, might help for your version of HH.

Oh--and meant to say, would definitely have blood tests. Don't know, but can't think why there'd be a connection between HH and hand tremors. See a doctor anyway.

Thanks for the help. I still have some things to clarify though,
I live in Canada, and the only way to get robinul is through pharmacy.ca
Is there no easier way, and has anyone got their insurance to cover it?
And has anyone ever tried doing extreme physical activity while on robinul?
If you have answers to any of these questions your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
