been suffering with axilary hyperhidrosis for ten years with no underlying issue, I tried numerous methods as per insurance requirements and was approved for botox years ago which worked and I received 9 months of relief for a while. I had to stop treatment due to pregnancies. Once I started, efficacy decreased to where it has stopped working, increasing the injection to 100/pit failed. medical doesn't cover miradry and I can't afford the out of pocket cost. What is the next step to find relief?
