It has affected me emotionally and mentally. But, I read some articles about a cure for it. One is an injection of Botox, and the other is ETS (cutting of a nerve node). I was wondering which way should I go and what's the cost of each one? Thanks.

It has updated information, including drug and surgical treatments. Dear Walking Sponge, Call the Health Service at x4-2284 to make an appointment with a health care provider to make sure that what you have is primary hyperhidrosis (rather than an underlying condition that causes profuse perspiration, known an secondary hyperhidrosis, which would require treating the underlying condition first, often resolving the abundant sweating as well). Use this opportunity to get more information and to discuss your treatment options, their possible side effects, and their contraindications. If you have primary hyperhidrosis, your provider may recommend the following treatment possibilities depending on how severe it is:
No Sweat: Dealing With Hyperhidrosis
No Sweat Dealing With hyperhidrosis. This condition is known as hyperhidrosis and for people afflicted with this condition, it s certainly no laughing matter.
http://www.personalmd.com/news/hyperhidrosis_062000.shtml

Extractions: We all sweat; when we're out in public, for most of us excessive sweating can be very embarrassing. This condition is known as hyperhidrosis and for people afflicted with this condition, it's certainly no laughing matter. Although the condition rarely signifies a serious health situation, unwanted smells and stained clothing can become unacceptable and increasingly frustrating. Sweating helps regulate our inner body temperature and is controlled by our sympathetic nervous system. There exists a "sweat control center" in our hypothalamus, which senses minor changes in temperature and other brain activities. When we are active, sweating helps to cool our body down, helping us to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. It's also normal to experience sweating at times of nervousness and stress (i.e. sweaty palms). Hyperhidrosis occurs when we sweat more than we need to, trying to keep our body temperature down. The face, palms, armpits, groin and feet are the places in our body where we sweat the most.

Extractions: Resources A disorder marked by excessive sweating. It usually begins at puberty and affects the palms, soles, and armpits. Sweating is the body's way of cooling itself and is a normal response to a hot environment or intense exercise . However, excessive sweating unrelated to these conditions can be a problem for some people. Those with constantly moist hands may feel uncomfortable shaking hands or touching, while others with sweaty armpits and feet may have to contend with the unpleasant odor that results from the bacterial breakdown of sweat and cellular debris (bromhidrosis). People with hyperhidrosis often must change their clothes at least once a day, and their shoes can be ruined by the excess moisture. Hyperhidrosis may also contribute to such skin diseases as athlete's foot (tinea pedis) and contact dermatitis Conditions or situations that can trigger hyperhidrosis are varied. They include stressful situations, eating spicy foods, consuming alcohol, the presence of underlying disorders (e.g. tuberculosis malaria , lymphoma, and diabetes), menopause , hormonal imbalances, and the use of certain drugs. Physicians believe that hyperhidrosis can be linked to a breakdown in communication between the brain and the mechanisms that activate sweating. In addition, a genetic link may also exist: about 40% of people with the condition have a family history of it.

http://www.uchospitals.edu/specialties/hyperhidrosis/questions.php

Extractions: What happens after surgery? Hyperhidrosis is a disorder of the eccrine, or sweat, glands. Sweating is the way your body naturally cools itself off. But people with hyperhidrosis have excessive sweatingusually on the palms, the soles of their feet, or in their underarm area. Hyperhidrosis is often triggered by emotion, stress, or physical activity. But, it can occur without provocation. Experts aren't sure. But a recent study in the Journal of Vascular Surgery indicates that palmar hyperhidrosis may be due to genetic factors. While more research is still needed, experts agree that excessive sweating is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body to cope with stressful situations. Normally, this system helps the body with its "fight or flight" responses. But in people with hyperhidrosis, something goes wrong and excessive sweating is the result. Is hyperhidrosis life-threatening?

Extractions: MOVEMENT DIAGNOSES INDEX What is hyperhidrosis? Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating due to an overactivity of the sweat glands. What causes hyperhidrosis? Hyperhidrosis is due to an overactivity of sweat glands that are found over the entire body with the highest concentration in the palms and soles of the feet. These glands are under the control of the sympathetic nervous system. Most sweat glands normally serve to regulate body temperature, however, those on the palms and soles respond primarily to emotional stress. Essential hyperhidrosis is a generalized condition that manifests primarily in the palms. What is the treatment for hyperhidrosis? Mild cases are treated medically with: Topical agents: astringents or antiperspirants Anticholinergic medications: atropine, side effects include dry mouth and blurred vision

Send This Page To a Friend While pharmacologic and selected other treatments exist, studies have found the surgical treatment of hyperhidrosis to be very effective. In fact, published reports show 68-87% satisfactory control of patients sweating problems. The most popular and effective surgical treatment is endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in the operating room. The surgeon makes several small incisions in the armpit. A small, lighted telescope is inserted into one incision and a clipping instrument is inserted into the other. The surgeon then clips the sympathetic nerves (T3-T5) at the sympathetic ganglia near the spine. The procedure is repeated on the other side. In some cases patients go home the same day and others may spend the first night in the hospital. Recovery time from the procedure is typically 1 week. Very rarely there are complications from the procedure including bleeding, infection, and injury to the surrounding tissue. One common side effect from the surgery (has been reported up to 80% of the time) is compensatory sweating in the abdominal/groin area.

Extractions: Hyperhidrosis The body naturally perspires to regulate body heat. Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the hands, feet and other parts of the body) is a condition in which the sympathetic nervous system does not shut off the sweat reflex properly. Symptoms Hyperhidrosis causes the hands, feet or other parts of the body to sweat profusely with no useful purpose, regardless of how hot or cold it is. Causes and Risk Factors One to two percent of Americans are affected by essential hyperhidrosis. The cause remains unknown, but it may be genetic since 70 to 80 percent of those affect have another family member with the condition. Although the majority of patients with hyperhidrosis are young adults, cases have been noted in infants and young children, as well as people in their 60s. Treatment Over the years, a variety of treatments have been tried, although most are symptomatic. These include: Use of powerful antiperspirants (e.g., Drysol) applied to the hands and armpits at night and then removed in the morning. This treatment is usually the first to be tried and may be effective in mild cases. Tap water iontophoresis, which involves placing the hands in an electrolyte solution with a low-level electrical current several times a week for several weeks. This can be uncomfortable, expensive and time-consuming, although equipment can be purchased for home use. This may provide temporary relief in mild cases.

Eleven patients there were treated by the injection of botulinum toxin, a substance that blocks certain nerve terminals. In all patients, the excessive sweating was stopped within a week. Johns Hopkins neurosurgery professor Dr. James Campbell. It is a treatment that makes sense from a mechanistic point of view. I would suspect that the injection of botulinum toxin into the areas that sweat excessively would provide for patients a temporary effective means of controlling the sweating. :16 Dr. Campbell says while it appears to help, repeated injections into hands and feet to block the sweating are a major drawback.
