ETS was reviewed - again

feeds@yuku.com (ugyan) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:20:03 GMT

ASERNIP-s (Australian Safety and Efficacy Register..,) reviewed ETS once more. They still made no attempt to consider any other material than the one published by the ETS surgeons - which makes me think, why on earth would somebody spend time, effort and money on something that was already done at least 6 times and came up with the exact same conclusion???!! They also have - the reviews that were done prior to this, including the one completed in 2001 by Centre for Clinical Effectiveness,...

For UK ETS patients - legal help?

feeds@yuku.com (Chickpea) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:26:15 GMT

I have just seen an advertisement in a British women's magazine for 'tjl solicitors'.

They say they are one of the UK's leading cosmetic surgery negligence specialists, and that they will listen and give you advice 'no matter what you've been through'.

They have a 'no fee, win or lose policy' and work to help clients 'secure the funds you need for corrective surgery, and maximum compensation'.

I do not know if they...

ETS migraines and mental disorders (Bipolar disorder)

feeds@yuku.com (sartrehush) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:04:13 GMT

I'm 23 and had ETS surgery when I was 17. Sometimes I forget I even had the surgery as I'm so use to the CS sweating, and feeling like crap / depressed these days.

This is my story....

I had always blamed my HH for my antisocial behavior, and depression throughout my teen years and thought that if I had ETS surgery I would be "normal" and be able up to lead a happy and normal life if I no longer had to live in fear and anxiety all the time. I had a...

i've begun the fight to stop my hair from thinning more and more.
I just bought a product called Nioxin, which is supposed to make your scalp healthier, so hair grows thicker and healthier..

Elective surgery causing an epilepsy-like reaction

feeds@yuku.com (ugyan) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:02:19 GMT

ETS is a very effective way to treat hyperhidrosis and FB in the vast majority of the cases, but a small group of patients have devastating effects. Unfortunately, we do not know who these patients are before we operate.
Extensive surgery or burning causes nerve scaring, which may behave like epilepsy of the autonomous nervous system and cause the well known (sic!) devastating side effects.

A revealing chat with a doctor

feeds@yuku.com (Chickpea) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:28:11 GMT

Maybe this post is only going to reaffirm what many of you already know but I feel compelled to share this conversation I recently had with a doctor (he is a radiologist).

The conversation occurred in a casual context - we were not speaking to each other as doctor and patient but as two hikers sitting in a wilderness hut.

I knew the doctor was cold and tired and I noticed he was sitting with one hand curled up almost in a fist. I asked him if he had warmed up yet (he had...

Waiting in a queue!

feeds@yuku.com (jamie1088) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:25:04 GMT

I don't know if all you are the same but I can be walking around a shop fine, no CS or anything. Then as soon as I stand in a queue the sweat starts streaming out my back and legs. It's like a nervous reaction and I can't control it.

Also I had a cold recently and i have never sweat so much in my life. You know you get cold sweats when you are unwell, well when I woke up I was dripping from my back and legs. You would have thought I was sitting in a sauna.

Facial excessive sweating help!

feeds@yuku.com (claus) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:46:16 GMT

Hi guys, I'm from Europe and I've been reading this forum the last days... I'm considering to have ETS for my excessive craniofacial hyperhidrisis. It occurs when I'm any social situation and I'm nervous. I deal with this problem since 2003 and my life is like hell since then.

Have you any other solution for this craniofacial problem? I've taken Secure wipes, Ditropan, antitrenspirants and ansiolitics, but nothing works for my face sweating. Please I need...

Before ETS

feeds@yuku.com (grimaldi) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:51:11 GMT

I ran over another possible reason for facial blushing and excessive sweating, that should be investigated before anyone decides to go for ETS. "Histadelia" is a condition were one's level of histamine in the body is to high. Histamine works as a neurotransmitter to the central nervous system, "giving fuel" to the sympathetic nerve system. It's also a reason for flushing, but people on other forums experienced a decrease also in sweating, palpitation and likewise...

Ok so i was clamped in about 2003 due to HH on my hands (i also had it on my feet but thouse didn't improve or changed in any way), and i was pretty happy with my results, i lost the ability to sweat from my hands which i didn't miss in any way tbh unless it was on a very very cold weather in which case i lost all the sensation on my fingers, and i still had the ability to sweat from my underarms, head, back and everything else. I didn't notice any side effects or at least not...

If FDA Will Study Lasik, Why Not ETS Also?

Washington, DC: On October 16 the FDA issued warning letters to 17 Lasik centers that weren't properly reporting problems with the procedure. LASIK is eye surgery done with a laser to help you see better. The laser makes tiny cuts that change the shape of the clear cover over the eye, the cornea. If done right, it can reduce a person's need for glasses or contact...
