Dry at Last: Hyperhidrosis Treatment Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe hyperhidrosis. Writers describe the years before it had a name: the ruined shirts and the dark colours only, the paper that curled under a hand, the handshakes avoided, the school and career decisions made around it, and the doctors who said everyone sweats. There is saying it out loud, and then the ladder of treatment: aluminium chloride and the burning it causes, glycopyrronium wipes and oral anticholinergics with their dry mouth and blurred vision, and iontophoresis trays used nightly in front of the television. Writers describe the needle and the grid — botulinum toxin injections into palms, soles and underarms, the pain of palmar injections, and months of genuine dryness — and cover feet, face and the places nobody mentions. Later chapters cover microwave thermolysis and ETS surgery, compensatory sweating described honestly, and the cases nothing helped.

Who it's for

For anyone whose sweating dictates their clothing and social life, patients weighing botulinum toxin against surgery, and readers who want the truth about compensatory sweating.
