		<description>Yeah I been dealing with this for some time also. the palmar version of this is horrible because when you want to hold your girlfriends hand or shake a girls hand that you meet they give you a funny look and treat you different due to this. But I recently tried the hushed tea. I only had it for a day but most of my night sweats and head sweating has stopped! My palmar however is still occurring but i expect it to go away. So don&#039;t worry, I know how you feel. I know their are worse issues but it doesn&#039;t feel that way to us, does it?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m just back from Brazil where I had surgery by [link removed] for my compensatory sweating (CS). He was able to cure my upper body, from the waist up. I had T2 and T3 cut in 2004 and my hands and feet became dry but CS began right away and increased in severity over the next 5 yrs..I&#039;ve read this can be common. It can also diminish after 5 yrs from surgery.  
     
I still have CS on my legs, currently it is a little more severe that before but the Dr&#039;s other patients did not get a good read on the results for 1-6 months after.  [snip] does not cut the ganglia but takes the time to cut further away from the spine yielding less side fx as the ganglia is left intact.  I am able to sweat from my head during exercise only and asked to keep that as I like the feeling....and I still have that. 

     I found [snip] to be an extremely caring and skilled surgeon and recommend him to all of you if you choose surgery as a solution. He has developed techniques to cure armpit, facial blushing, palmer, and auxiliary hyperhydrosis with little or no CS. He is the true pioneer in this area. I wish I had found him for my original surgery.
 
     If my lower half&#039;s CS does not improve with time I will seek a solution with him. There is hope there. Right now the technique needs some work to avoid sexual side effects and still give the body some sweating as it is a necessary bodily function. I have faith there will be more advances here, meanwhile I will be patient. 

 I came across this study from a different doctor.  He surgically treated a patient and cured his CS on his entire body. I am going to contact this doctor and see get more details about side fx and follow up results.

[link removed]

     So there is hope. I share with all of you the mental anguish this as caused me. For me it started with armpits and then moved to hands and feet, mostly hands. I wish I had tried botox on the hands or met [snip] as his surgical solution would have far less chance of CS. But what can you do?  I refuse to let this bring me down and will continue to search for solutions. Thanks to all of you for posting your experiences here.

Unfortunately there are doctors that would push surgery under the guise of a person dealing with excessive sweating. This comment may or may not be legitimate, but regardless, it&#039;s way to early to be pushing a surgical procedure by a doctor in another county! I quote:

		<description>I have noticed that the older I get, the more I am sweating, and in every place that you can sweat from! I used to be plagued with sweaty hands &amp; feet only, but now it&#039;s hands, feet, underarms, face, neck, head, and a whole lot in the groin area. I, too, would like to know what to do about the &#039;area down there&#039;!! Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!</description>

		<description>I had sympathetic surgery when I was 25 and have had compensatory sweating ever since. My crotch is especially effected, which is terrifying to me that it will be noticed. In the summer I wear 2-3 pair of underwear. I can&#039;t wear dresses or skirts, because the back will get soaked if I sit for more than 10 minutes. I also have the problem on my whole torso, but not as bad. I haven&#039;t seen any comments with anyone having the same problem. Does anyone know of some strategies for dealing with sweating from the crotch? I thought about botox there but I&#039;ve read it can create compensatory sweating  &amp; I&#039;m afraid or where my next sweaty area will be. :o

Thank you all for sharing!</description>

		<description>I have a major problem with facial sweating.  I dread my job interviews, because in the middle of a great answer to a question, Niagra Falls start to gush out of my head.  I can&#039;t take it anymore.  I am going to try the Hushed Sea Herbal Tea.  I don&#039;t know what else to do.</description>

		<description>I have been drinking the tea for almost a week and so far it is working.  My sweat levels have decreased significantly.  I would say 75%. I have had excessive palmar hyperdrosis since I was little but the Hushed Sea Tea might be the miracle to naturally cure sweaty hand/sfeet.  I&#039;ll keep you guys posted.</description>

		<description>I have a 13 year daughter who has suffered from this condition since she was a toddler. It started with her hands and then her feet. When she started puberty and sweating it then became a problem with her armpits. 

Over the counter clinical strength deodorant does seem to be helping the armpit issue for now. She has used xerac for her hands and feet over the years. It has worked at times but seems to not be doing anything at all anymore. She is a great basketball player and her skills are suffering due to her hands. 

We are in Michigan and she is dreading flip flop season because that is what everyone wears. She has to make sure she has some sort of fabric bottom for when she is at school or goes any where. The cheap plastic ones make it look like she hasn&#039;t washed her feet in days because of all the sweat absorbing all the dirt. 

I googled the surgery and the University of Michigan had a video of the procedure, see link below:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://ummcvideo02.mcit.med.umich.edu/surgery/Surgical_Procedures/hyperhidrosis.wmv&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;U of M Surgical Procedure for  Hyperhidrosis&lt;/a&gt;

It looks like a lot more than what I want but of course she is all for it. Anything to stop the sweating. I am going to order the tea and see how it goes. I will let everyone know if it works or not. She does however feel better knowing she is not alone with this condition and that it does have a name.</description>

		<description>I am so glad I am not the only one with this problem.  I have Sweaty Hands, Feet and Armpits!! It is very embarrassing, especially as a woman.  People starting thinking that black was my favorite color because that&#039;s the only color I&#039;d ever wear because of my sweaty armpits.  I constantly have to wear shoes with straps because I can&#039;t wear stilettos because my feet would slide off.  And my hands keep sweating to the point where I have to constantly wipe my hands with the clothes I wear.  :(

I did some research and saw some methods you can do to prevent the excessive sweating but I am more interested in this Hushed Sea Herbal Tea.  I&#039;m so tempted on ordering it but I want to hear some feedbacks about it first.  Especially if it is safe to take and if there are any side effects to it.  I read about the herbals it contains and they seem to be safe on their own but combined together?  That could be a different story.   So... hopefully someone out there would provide some info. of their experience with the product.  And if so... I hope it&#039;s all good news!!! ^^</description>

		<description>I&#039;m desperate! I have tried so many things- soaking hands/ feet in tea, Drisol, Robinul (loved at first, but started having stomach trouble from it and HORRIBLE dry mouth and eyes), and last week I had Botox injected into my armpits. I&#039;m desperate for hand/ feet relief and seriously considering that Hushed Sea tea. I&#039;m eager to read some feedback. So far I haven&#039;t been able to find any. HELP??!!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been using Levsin (generic hyocyamine) for over 20 years.  It provides an overall drying out of the body and works great to eliminate/reduce sweating.  Side effects are dry mouth and eyes, but a small price to pay for relief.  Only dermatologists that specialize in hyperhidrosis will know about this drug, your basic skin oriented derm will not.



&lt;blockquote&gt;Generic Name: hyoscyamine
Brand Names: Anaspaz, Cystospaz, Hyospaz, Hyosyne, Levbid, Levsin, Levsin SL, Levsinex SR, Symax Duotab, Symax SL, Symax SR&lt;/blockquote&gt;
