Michael's Life Has Changed

Dr. Reisfeld:

It has been a year (December 5, 2003) since I had you perform an ETS to alleviate my hyperhidrosis. I am please to update you and let you know that I am 99.5% cured. My hands stay dry nearly all the time; I get a very, very slight dampness that is hardly noticeable if I drink too much caffeine. This success is particularly remarkable given the prior remedies that I had tried and which had failed prior to my ETS. My hyperhydrosis was particularly bad; since I was a child my hands and feet would produce copious amounts of sweat such that I could easily soak a half a roll of paper towels during the day. Prior to coming to you I tried Drysol with little result and much discomfort during the night as my hands were wrapped in latex gloves. I also tried oral doses of Robinul, which dried out my throat more than my hands to the point I would easily become hoarse during the day. I moved to iontopherisis which moderated my sweating somewhat but which was hugely inconvenient having to do it every other day and if I missed more than a week of treatment put me back to a zero starting point. I tried BOTOX®, which was painful and expensive but which worked for about a month at a time. Finally, I hit a combination of BOTOX® every four to six months along with the every other day iontopheris water bath with a dissolved Robinul pill in each tray which would mitigate my sweat output by about 90%. That combination of treatments was punitively expensive, extremely painful (BOTOX® injections every inch or so on my palms, fingers and fingertips and the iontopherisis which stung if I had any cut or abrasion on my hands), and quite time consuming. The ETS treatment was a welcome and permanent change. Now if you can come up with a way to stop my feet from sweating! (I notice about a 25% to 50% reduction in foot sweating since the ETS but it still somewhat bothersome). Your ETS treatment is the most effective and lasting procedure I have tried. It has changed my life and lifestyle.

Thank you.

Michael
