About Me

Age: 39

I have had hyperhidrosis my whole life. I underwent Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy in which they cut my sympathetic nerves which cause you to sweat in certain areas. I no longer sweat in my hands or armpits but I have excessive sweating more now on my back, my feet, and my legs. My feet are actually worse than they were before, they sweat so much, I could ring out my socks. I wouldn\'t go back and change anything about having the surgery but it is an every day struggle to deal with the excessive sweating.

I have been a HH sufferer my whole life, and I recently found out I am pregnant. I underwent ETS surgery about 12 years ago, and it helped tremendously with my palmar and under arm HH. However, I now suffer from compensatory sweating as a result of the surgery, and gustatory sweating. I have been relying on Robinul for the past year and it helps amazingly with the sweating and gets me through the day at work. Now that I found out I am pregnant, I am afraid to continue the Robinul even though...
