I have suffered from hyperhydrosis since I was 13...

I have suffered from hyperhydrosis since I was 13 years old. As I reached highschool it only got worse. I am like others and have found ways of hiding my condition; wearing black shirts, wool sweaters in the winter so you cant see the sweat, wearing shawls in the summer. It's so hard when people say "arent you hot?" and you have to lie and say "oh no Im actually cold" When you are sweating so bad. It really shatters your confidence, and makes you not want to go out anywear or do anything. Even hugging people is hard for me. Wearing any colourful clothing is a no no. So thats why when my first treatment of miradry failed I was devastated. I had my treatment at the end of april, by the end of May my symptoms were back. I would say the only difference I have noticed is that it is not as dense. So maybe a 10 percent decrease...if that. I was so excited when I first had the treatment, I went out and bought a colourful t shirt to celebrate, my first one in years! Its amazing how Ive trained myself when shopping to go straight for the black or white. Its hard to divert from that. I called my miradry specialist today and she assured me it will work the second time around. I have my second treatment on July 3rd so I really really really hope it works like she says. Its even harder now that I have had a taste of what life is like without the constant sweating; being in public being able to hug my husband and not have to worry about wetness, put my arms up whenever I want to, and just that increase in confidence. Plus I look good in colour! I would love to wear it...Wish me luck. I will update later.

I am so sorry you have to go through this frustration..UGH!  
I am always running super hot but can't even imagine having to wear heavy clothing.  Please let me know how the second treatment goes.  I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

well it has been 2 weeks or so since my last treatment and so far so good. No sweating and the healing seemed quicker this time; only sensitive for the first two days and im now getting feeling back :)

So its been a month since my second treatment. The only sweating Ive noticed is while I workout! and its not even in the armpit its in closer to the chest and inner shoulder. So definitely worth it. Now that I know it worked I can't wait to buy a colourful dress! Definitely worth the money. Now I will be able to be a part of my friends wedding and wear a light blue dress with a shawl (in august) and without worries! yay

Hey: ) What's your update now??? I'm in Mississauga too.... I'm 22 and been sweating since 13-14 ... I've had it and honestly want to finally try something like this.

Hi 22liva, My sweating has reduced by 80 percent. I only sweat when I am anxious or when its a really hot day, or exercise; All normal reasons to sweat. I have so much more freedom with what I can wear, I am no longer constantly thinking about if I am sweating. Honestly its still there a little, but wayyyy more manageble. I don't feel bad about myself anymore, I am not covering up, and it is not noticeable by others. If I do sweat, I recover very quickly! Whereas before I would never recover, once I started it didnt stop until I changed clothing. In my opinion, it is 100 percent worth it because of the effect its had on my life. Any pain associated with those needles are worth it. Good luck!

7 Months after my 2nd procedure

So 7 months later and I only sweat in normal circumstances, exercise, hot weather and when I am anxious. It has reduced by 80 percent. I have finally gotten to a point where I am not constantly checking if I am sweating, and it doesnt limit what I wear. I no longer have to layer and pretend I am actually cold. When I do sweat, I recover quickly whereas before I would not recover because the more I sweat the more I got anxious and it was a vicious cycle. Now I know it will stop and will not get noticeably out of control. It is so nice to have my life back! I would 100 percent recommend this treatment for anyone who has suffered the way I have! It will change your life
