1. What does the sympathetic nervous system control?
2. What exactly is compensatory sweating (CS) and when will it occur?
3. How will CS affect my life? Is it long term?
4. Do you have ANY patients with side effects?
5. If I go for clamping and want the clamps removed later, how long should I wait? Will it work to just take them off again? What will it cost to have the clamps removed if that should prove necessary?
6. I am athletic. Will ETS affect my ability to participate in sports?
7. Why is loss of sweat on my face considered a side effect? I would think that would be a good thing.
8. I don't sweat much but have facial blushing. Does this mean I don't have to worry about CS?
9. Will I develop flushing?
10. I live in a (warm/cold) climate. Will this make a difference?
11. What if I develop other side effects? Is there a reversal and is it proven to be effective?
12. Do you contact your patients again after surgery to monitor their results and for what period of time do you continue to follow up on their progress?
13. If I do end up having severe side effects, what help will be available to me?
14. I want to have ETS because of (blushing/sweating/anxiety). What level of nerve would you be clamping/cutting?
