I have noticed about a 75% reduction in my sweating in my hands and I have been told that this could get better yet. You have to repeat botox every 3-6 months and it is a little painful, but it only take 2 minutes per hand, and to me it was totally worth some minor pain when they would poke my hand with the needles. I didn’t have any pain after the 2 minute procedure (per hand). My doctor said she has seen people come in less often the more times they do botox, so hopefully it will last at least 4 months this time and more like 6 months from now on.

Best of luck to all of you! I know this is a very hard problem to have, but the one thing we can all be so grateful for is there are a lot of options out there where years ago, there wasn’t. I am confident within the next 10 years, there will be something like laser that will take care of HH in one treatment, much like the surgery but with better results! Take Care everyone and keep your head up. I know it is hard.

In the rare occasion that my hands go through what i call a dry spell–a period of time that i have yet been able to find the reason why–my hands wouldn’t just be normal dry like everyone elses, they would be bone dry and commence ripping, cracking and bleeding in a couple days time. they would be so dry i wouldn’t even leave finger prints on glass panes.

It has never caused me any distress. it sets me apart from everyone else.

i do think about it when i go to shake someones hand, but if its someone that matters like a possible employer i simply come right out and tell them with confidence why my hands are the way they are. Actions like this exudes confidence and security with oneself.

One time the employer admitted to having it after i told him i was afflicted with it after shaking his hand, think of it as an exclusive club that approximately 3% of the population have.

I enjoy showing off the water dripping off my hands like i just washed them without drying them.

This has been happening for about 3 years now and every time it happens someone says something and I feel like everyone is making fun of me because of it. I play multiple instruments and I love to preform but every time I do I have a little anxiety attack and just have to push through. There have been many times I can’t even kiss my boyfriend because I feel to un-ordinary.

My family doesn’t have money for a doctor of any sort. Is there a way I can help my issue myself?

You will need to use this once a week (or every other week) at first, but then you can reduce it to once a month (I do it about once a month now). It works for me and I hopes it works for you too.

If I don’t focus on it then it won’t happen. Sometimes I go a full day without sweaty palms but that’s because I’m not nervous or thinking about it. However, when someone wants to playfully grab my hand I pull back immediately. It’s embarrassing and I just want to get rid of it.

Is there any way that I can get rid of it without surgery or anything like that? If so, please do tell me. I can use all the advice and help I can get. Please.

Thanks
