Hi guys,
I know it is late and I should have reported sooner lol My finger tips sweat more now and I am not sure why! Maybe it is the heat? Not sure but I have been a little stressed that it is wearing off already.
I also got reimbursed for the cost of botox :) I just checked my online bank account.
My palms are always dry but at the edges of my hands they seem to sweat. Also sometimes the creases in my fingers...seems odd.
I was doing so well too, but it might just be the heat cuz it has been super hot lately. I paid my tuition this semester, $1438.98 yeah I know it just sucks that school costs so much!

Day 13 - Finger Tips Sweating
Today must be one of the hottest day of the summer so far in Toronto. My finger tips are sweating more lately but my palms have been super dry!
I guess I can live with this because I don't use my finger tips (near my nail) very often (such as shaking hands).
Only 2 weeks until school starts and I just feel so relieved. I remember last semester using the lab computers was HELL! I was so worried about other people noticing that I was dripping on the keyboard lol
Also the desks in all my classes were black. You know what that means! My fingers would leave little puddles and there were people who would stare at me.
So I have high hopes this semester that I can focus of my classes rather than my hands.

Day 10 - Wierd Sweat Pattern
Hi guys,
Today is going well too but last night I noticed I started sweating on the tips of my fingers (where my doctor didn't inject botox) and between the lines on my hands.
That was so odd.
I was really hot but my palms stayed dry though so I know botox is REALLY working. My doctor said that if he injected the very tips of my fingers I wouldn't be able to pick up paper haha! I just wanted to tell him "I don't care if I can't pick up paper, just make sure I don't sweat anymore"
Thanks for all the comments :)

Night 7 - Hands Dry All Day!
Hey guys,
I feel like I am repeating myself since there really hasn't been anything to report on, except my hands are still dry :) I have been less stressed out and enjoy everyday more.
School starts in 2 weeks and I am pretty excited. I think I will do so much better in my classes, since I will not be stressed my classmates will see me sweating! I usually can't concentrate and get frustrated at having to hide my hands under my thighs, or putting my sleeves over my hands.
Glad I don't need to do that anymore.
My feet have been dry too, except a few times when I was outside...they began to sweat a little. My mom commented on my dry hands and said to moisturize lol That is just wierd, I never moisturize my hands but I guess I have to start now.

Day 6 - Hands Are Dry, Mind Is Wandering
Good morning!
I have a dentist appointment in a few hours...I hate dentists. They are nice people but their job is like torture. I may need to get my wisdom teeth pulled :O
My hands are dry, warm and less swollen than they used to be. What I mean is, when I use to sweat constantly - my fingers would swell up sort of like a sponge filling with water.
Take a look at the first post and you will see what I mean :) Now my hands looks so much more "womanly". I am also a nail biter because of the anxiety of my HH. I am looking forward to getting my nails done at a salon.
I never had my nails done :(
Vincenzoso, the muscle weakness is like 95% gone. I rarely notice it. I am not sure what it is though, the botox or the nerve block?
Maybe if I didn't opt for the nerve block I wouldnt get muscle weakness? Maybe it's the botox. I couldn't say for sure.
It is so odd to not think about your sweaty hands every minute of the day. Almost like my mind needs something else to worry about. I can't believe how "normal" people have it so much easier than people who suffer from HH!
It hurts me to know that there are others out there that need treatment but can't get it because it's expensive. Everyone should be able to live a "normal" sweat-free life and not have to worry about this.
It makes me want to cry sometimes. I hope one day the governments of all countries find a cure that is not surgery but doesn't cost as much as botox.
PS - I left my camera in the car so Ill post pictures when I get back from the dentist :)
Take Care!

Day 4 - Still Improving!
Hey everyone!
Hope you guys enjoy the 2008 Beijing Olympic ceremony! Okay so let's get to my progress, which has been really good. Since yesturday I have not had a "sweat attack".
I went to Payless Shoes today to buy some new sandals and it was the best experience I have ever had! My hands were dry and so were my feet, which made trying on sandals SO EASY and I didn't leave a puddle in them :)
My hands have become so dry that skin is starting to flake off. I wouldn't say it's hard for me to handle paper or anything, but they were like a desert.
At this moment, even though I am thinking about my hands they remain dry. School is coming up in a few weeks and I feel so relieved. I hope this will continue because I will definitely have a great semester :)
Also I had spicy Indian food yesturday and a hot cup of tea - didn't sweat at all!
It's a miracle, halilouya!
Left hand dry and warm.
No shinny hands here.
Shoes I Bought From Payless! Very Comfy :)

Day 3 - Continued (10 minutes later)
Ok so I spoke too soon regarding the results. 10 minutes after writing that post, my hands started getting sweaty - no idea why.
I guess I just have to wait a little longer for my full results. :(

Day 3 - So Far So Good!
Hi guys!
I am typing this on my notebook and my hands are still dry! It has been more than 12 hours so far that I have not sweat at all.
The amazing thing is that since my hands stopped sweating my feet aren't sweating either. Is there a link? I didn't get botox for my feet, yet they are sweat free. I did notice that whenever my hands started to sweat before, so did my feet.
I am just so happy that I got some results - but this is incredible. I was scared that it wouldn't work and that I had wasted my money because they made me sign a document stating that "I know this is not a cure and that it is not guaranteed to work".
The wierd thing is that I still get the sensation that I am about to sweat, it sort of is like a funny feeling in your tummy. Kind of like being nervous on stage - but it happens anytime, like when I am eating or getting ready to sleep.
So now I get freaked out about this feeling, then I start feeling my hands just to make sure. It baffles me that when I get this sensation that my hands stay dry?
I guess it's psychological.
I am not sure if this will go away. It reminds me of when someone get their arm or leg amputated, but their body still thinks it's there. I don't know if you guys know what I am talking about.
Well I am pretty happy right now, I can start wearing tank tops and short sleeve shirts now. I use to only wear long sleeve tops because then it was easier to hide them when they got really sweaty.
Take Care!

Day 2 - Video On How Quickly My Hands Sweat
Hi everyone,
I noticed my hands were stained yellow by the starch-iodine test, but I am not too worried about that. So far I notice nothing different in the amount of sweat or how often I sweat.
I also have tiny bruises on the injection sites but no one else can see them unless they look really closely. The weakness in the hands are getting better slowly and it's a side effect that I can deal with.
Here is a video I decided to make on how quickly my hands can start from dry to sweaty.
Enjoy!

Day 2 - Still Waiting For My Hands To Dry Up
Hey guys,
So this is day 2 and I am really hoping I notice some improvement, but unfortunately it may be too early to tell. The doctor who preformed the botox injections into my palms said it could take up to 2 weeks to see the results.
I am not very patient.
I woke up this morning to dry hands as usual but the minute my feet hit the ground, little droplets of sweat were all over my hands and feet.
I swear it is almost like a magic trick - wish I could get paid for it.
My hands still feel weak but it is mostly in the area where they injected the nerve block. I think I should have not gotten that because it didn't work very well and it might have done more harm than good.

Night 1 - Hands Feeling Weak!
It's 12:58am EST in Toronto
I have been bragging about the fact that I had no side effects right after the botox injections, but I spoke too soon...
My hands are so weak right now that it hurts to type on my notebook :( I feel like I have arthritis. I couldn't open my peanut butter jar, I had a hard time getting dressed and I could barely flush the toilet without being in pain!
This is scary and I hope it doesn't last too long.
