A few years later still sweat free
So its been a few years after I had two treatments done. Still the best thing I ever did for myself. After one treatment things were still better but after 6 months or so I started sweating a bit more then id like so I did a second treatment. I still dont need deoderant and I can wear whatever I want. Life changing. Some people may need three treatments but it does work. The healing process does suck ill say that lol.
It's been just over a week and I haven't…
It's been just over a week and I haven't worn deodorant yet or even had to buy anything. 100% zero and I mean zero smell even after a whole day of being out running errands.
Still bone dry and it's amazing!! I even had a job interview and boy was I getting those phantom sweats people talk about but there was nothing!! I also seem to have about 70% hair reduction which for me is great!
The only time I've felt any moisture is from minor fluid leaving the body which is normal and it was like not even damp or showed on my shirt.
I have some mild swelling, more so under my right arm then left and still a bit of muscle pain right neat the top of my right armpit but other then that I'm totally fine.
I was experiencing some numbness and tingling under my arm and down my arm a bit but that was expected and has pretty much gone away at this point.
I think I hold fluid more then some people because the swelling is mostly some saline still under the skin. I've been using a tensor bandage to wrap the upper part's of my arm to help it absorb better. I am also still icing once in a while and applying poluysporin. Ibpfofun really does a good job with any minimal discomfort and the water retention.
Another note: I'm not sure if it's because I'm not sweating constantly which used to make me more cold or what the reason is, but I find I'm overall feeling warmer and for me that is strange because I'm always freezing. I noted this to the doctor as an interesting fact and will see if this becomes my norm, which wold be great. I have trouble retaining heat because I'm anemic so this would actually reduce another issue I've had my whole life. People seeing me walk around with blue lips and finger nails in the winter thinking I'm very sick or dying and me having to explain I'm fine, is something I can live without lol.
So happy I got this done and the more I heal the more Ive been able to enjoy it. Wearing a white t shirt is so awesome.

Day 3 First I'll update how it went after…
Its now day 3
First I'll update more on how I felt later in the evening on day 1 .
On the day of procedure I was fine when I got home very minimal swelling other then the golf ball under my right underarm. By the end of the night all the numbness had worn off and the only real pain I could feel at all was from the injection sites and because the saline had moved down under my arm and that was uncomfortable. I did swell up pretty good my upper body looked square lol and I couldnt put my arms down or do much but I was still ok. I iced on and off all day and took a warm shower that night.
The overall discomfort I felt maxes out at around a 3/10 by the time I fell asleep at 2am, but I was also just tired from the day so I was less tolerant. I will note I slept on my back and it was not a fantastic sleep.
By the morning of day 2 about 26 hours after the procedure the swelling had significantly go down. I could dress myself and shower a lot easier, which I did again because I figured it would help move some more fluid out. Then I took more ibuprofen which I have been doing every 8 hours after the procedure.
As the day went on I got more and more comfortable and the swelling went down. I even went to the grocery store with my husband and he made me a really nice dinner. By the end of the second night I felt about 60% and was able to get pretty comfortable.
Now it's day 3!
I feel really good today! 75% of all swelling is gone. My left arm looks great my right arm just has a bit of that golf ball in the center but overall I feel fine. I do have a bit of what feels like muscle pain from working out in my triceps, but im used to working out so that doesnt bother me. I am still going to ice on and off today and shower twice a day then apply polysporin and take ibprofun.
Best part of all no sweat and no smell whatsoever!!!! Ahahaha it's amazing! I'm so happy. I forgot to pick out my first fruit smelling cheap deodorant to wear for fun, because I was a bit tired when we went to the store day 2, so I'm really looking forward to picking some of those up.
I'll keep updating. Thanks for reading!
