I have had RSD for 2.5 years. It started in my right arm after a freak accident and soon traveled down my leg. 1 year ago I got into a car accident and it made the RSD "travel" to my left side and gave me whiplash. Now I have RSD in all four limbs and in my neck. I have done every possible injection with no relief and fortunately, stopped the process on the Permanent snipping procedures when I realized that they seriously limit future options if it doesn’t work ( which the chances of it being effective for me were pretty low). I am not a candidate for a spinal stem stimulator because of the amount of damage to my limbs.
However, I have found that I can usually deal with the pain ( with the aid of Methadone, Morphine and Flexeril) but there are several side effects that I just can’t take!!!! I get terrible hot flashes that make me feel as though my eyes are burning in my face! My face and hair get all sweaty and I sometimes feel faint. Once I have had a hot flash, I will usually have a series of several or I will continue to feel overheated and clammy for several hours. I’ve only heard of hot flashes in Menopausal women who treat it with hormones. My doctor does not seem to care, but this is REALLY bothersome to me. I’m not even 30! Does anyone have any tips or ideas to help?

Secondly, I gained 40 some pounds in about 4 months and have been unable to do anything about it. I have always been thin but now I am 35 pounds over the maximum weight for my size/shape! Before I got hurt weight loss was easy; I just hit the treadmill or elliptical machine a little harder for a few days. Now I’m lucky if I can go for a walk that day. If I have a good day I can never decide if I should go outside and do as much as I can or if I should take it easy in the hopes that I will have more good days. I eat very healthy and have cut my portions in half considerably to no avail. My doctor just put me on 10mg 2x/day last week to help me lose weight and to keep me awake ( lately I’m so tired I could sleep 20 hours /day). Now I just feel bloated to the extent that I look 7 months pregnant- no joke! If my body is broken, it’s not fair that it has to look bad now, too.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to get a grip on these two side effects? Sometimes the side effects are more difficult to deal with than the RSD itself!

Overwhelmed & Disabled

Kinds of diaphoresis tratment:

Let us talk about medical antiperspirants first. Medical antiperspirants contain not less than 15 % of substance demand even more strict observance of rules, for example, interaction of some substances with water is capable to lead to hydrochloric acid formation that will cause a strong boring or a skin combustion.

Antiperspirants help in 60 % of cases to those who suffer with axillary hyperhidrosis. They are convenient and simple in application. Unfortunately, such agents approach not to all. They are capable to cause borings and allergic reactions. Another method is ionophoresis, it has appeared in the beginning of XX-th century. The method is based on electric current application.

At treatment of dermatological diseases (eczema, a psoriasis and etc.) the doctors have noticed that electrolytic trays will help at sweating of palms. However, up to the end to explain the mechanism of positive influence they couldn’t. Carry out procedure as follows: the patient for 20–40 minutes immerses arms or feet in special trays with water through which pass a weak electric current. A session repeat every other day. It is capable to help those who suffer with sweating for various reasons as it did not have a relation to antiperspirants that can cause allergic reaction to some patients.

The method is limited in use: usually it applies to feet and palms (to do trays for axillary area inconveniently). It has a series of contraindications: pregnancy, warm pathologies, an epilepsy. As any often repeated physiotherapeutic procedure with use of currents, can negatively affect a condition of a skin, joints and nerves. Therefore treatment is better for spending as short fortnight courses with breaks in one and a half month.

A method number one from the point of view of efficiency, an esthetics and safety is injections of Botox. Botox is capable to block acetylcholine transport (biologically active substance transferring nervous impulse to executive cells) which supervises activity of work of sweat glands. A preparation enters subcutaneously. It allows reaching full interlocking of development of sweat on the average for 6–12 months. Contraindications to application are not a lot: pregnancy and feeding by a breast, reception of antibiotics and anticoagulants, and also an exacerbation of any disease. The method doesn’t work only in 1 % of cases: at natural resistance to a preparation (that meets extremely seldom) or at very persistent hyperhidrosis (more often palmar).

Enemies of Botox are a bath and a sauna: they reduce preparation period of validity. The most often asked question by patients: where this sweat disappears after the treatment? Many wait for edemas and rise in temperature. It is not necessary to be afraid – anything terrible doesn’t happen: the superfluous liquid leaves with urine.

Let us talk in this article about some methods of sweating treatment:

The present panacea is injections of Botox. The method approaches for treatment of the raised diaphoresis of ANY localization. It may be expensive as also demands repeated injections what not everyone presumes.

Surgical methods: Operative way of struggling against hyperhidrosis makes the correction for a long time already. Certainly, such intervention is effective, but is recognized exclusively as an extreme measure.

Addressing to it is necessary in that case when anything else doesn’t help. There are two techniques of surgical elimination of a hyperhidrosis: a curettage and endoscopic sympathectomy. Curettage or local influence on a zone of the raised sweating is very widespread operation practiced already more than 40 for years. Its sense consists in destruction of nervous terminations of the sweat glands.

Depending on a way of performance a curettage of axillary area it is divided into some kinds: shaving (the rotating razor); ultrasonic (with use of an ultrasonic curette); a liposuction (with use liposaction curettes); excising (excision of all zone of a hyperhidrosis). Last technique is very effective, but is applied only in the presence of excess of a skin – at mature age.

It can be done to juvenile patients as there is a risk of occurrence of a contracture of the top extremities (restriction of mobility of arms). The curettage allows achieving proof result though doesn’t guarantee dryness and comfort with which provides other method that I have mentioned before and that is Botox.

After operation there are traces from cuts (the truth, not too appreciable). There is a danger of development of rasping (hypertrophic) cicatrixes. There are also contraindications: presence in the hydradenitis past – inflammations of sweat glands. It is simple operation: through small cuts into a thoracal cavity enter an endoscope and manipulators and under sight control at certain level of a sympathetic trunk cross or press on nervous fibers.

In this case after clamp excision it is possible to count on restoration of fibers and thus to eliminate in need of implication of a compensatory sweating. More often it is used for treatment of a palmar hyperhidrosis (under an indispensable condition strong social and not just esthetic motivation!). One patient from ten resorts to this method. Operation is considered enough easy and allows to solve a problem of a local hyperhidrosis once and for all. It can lead to occurrence of the general (instead of palmar) body sweating that is transferred much worse.

Any way it is only for you to decide which method is better, because every case id unique and demands great inspection at the doctor to detect what exactly can help each particular person that is suffering with the excessive sweating.

Summer in a city is a serious problem. Especially in the event that expression “dry and comfortable” for you is not simply advertizing slogan, but the fixed idea. To sweat or not to sweat? – Here is a question. Certainly, to sweat, only in reasonable limits! However what to do to that who suffers with a hyperhidrosis – the raised sweating? Constantly wet arms, the wet face, dark stains on clothes and constant feeling of is shame … About these troubles it is a high time to forget, the blessing is in that to solve this problem is possible today quickly and very effectively.

Hyperhidrosis can be in to kinds: the general and local. The general sweating is always implication of something global: endocrine disturbances (a diabetes, a thyrotoxicosis, a climacteric syndrome), infectious, oncologic and neurogenic diseases. Serious medical examination and appointment of corresponding treatment in this case is required. Another matter is a local hyperhidrosis. It can be observed at persons with a vegetal-vascular dystonia and can be primary.

The American researchers have found out that 2,8 % of the population of the USA suffer from constantly wet axillas, palms and feet. There are enough of variants of a problem solution. The only thing is that it is required to choose the optimum one.

Conservative methods: To such ways of struggle against the raised diaphoresis carry application f antiperspirants, an ionophoresis and Botox. Antiperspirants use for struggle against a local hyperhidrosis for almost 80 years. Earlier a preparation made in drugstores (the talker of white color). By the way, in Europe this tradition has remained till now. The given bond doesn’t regulate work of sweat glands. The effect of dryness is reached at the expense of interlocking of their lead-out ducts by the original “caps” formed as a result of interaction of Sodium chloride of aluminum and fibers of a skin.

Today antiperspirants are made in the form of perfumery-cosmetic agents (deodorants with concentration of active substance from 3 to 6 %) and medical preparations in which its maintenance reaches 15–30 %. It appears, the greatest our error ???????????????? consists in use that we have got used to put in their morning, after a shower. At this time days ??????? glands start to work activly and are filled with a moisture. Even if any percent ?????­??????? also gets inside, sweat there and then beats out it on a surface – and all substance remains on clothes. That it doesn’t happen, ?????????????? it is necessary to put on a pure dry skin in the evening when activity of glands is minimum. For six – eight hours of a dream the substance gets into them and forms “stoppers” which provide protection against sweat next day.

All people sweat but some sweat more and others less. Those who has faced “a wet” problem know that the strong diaphoresis prevents to live and feel normal and comfortably practically in all spheres of life.

The general symptoms of this phenomenon are that – excessive allocation of sweat on various sites of the body, arising as though “in itself” and at various emotional situations (excitement before something or special events, the intimate moments, stress etc.). Axillas, feet, the face is special subject to sweating. Also other parts of the body suffer from a superfluous diaphoresis– a breast, a back, hips, etc.

The given resource is devoted to struggle against a strong diaphoresis and urged to help those people who suffers from it.

The raised or superfluous diaphoresis also is called as hyperhidrosis. The reasons of occurrence of a hyperhidrosis, and also this problem for today up to the end aren’t studied fully.

Many people, suffering with a hyperhidrosis endure the problem silently and hide it from associates. And it is clear – after all to whom pleasantly to tell that from you constantly sweat pours and it is impossible to make anything using usual methods.

As a rule, such people can’t receive the help from doctors since while, unfortunately, the experts who are professionally taking up the issue of a hyperhidrosis practically are in a small quantity. That doctors can offer all medicament preparations or a surgical intervention that not always happens useful to your organism.

There exist methods of treatment of a hyperhidrosis in the world:

1. Medicament treatment (doctors attribute strong restful tablets and pills)

2. Iontophoresis – a treatment method a weak electro current

3. Injection methods

4. Antiperspirants – special agents, external application (a liquid, sprays, ointments) that are blocking sweating (for example Odaban, Maxim)

5. Surgical operations

Unfortunately, all specified methods of treatment don’t give 100% treatment guarantee and basically stop a superfluous diaphoresis for some time after which treatment procedures need to be repeated. It doesn’t concern surgical operations, but in case of operations too there are features and side-effects, and resorting to it is necessary only in the most extreme cases.

We offer way essentially to lower a diaphoresis without operations and tablets, thus efficiency of offered agents of treatment reaches 90 % of cases. In house conditions very simply to use special antiperspirants, such as Odaban and Maxim, and devices for carrying out of procedures of an iontophoresis . You can read the information about these agents and read the information about it in the internet forums as there are really many references about these agents. The given agents are safe for health, and they can be applied regularly during all life.

Secondary generalized hyperdrosis

The reasons of secondary generalized hyperdrosis are the following conditions:

• endocrine disturbances:

• a hyperthyroidism;

• a diabetes;

• a climacteric syndrome;

• a pheochromocytoma;

• a carcinoid syndrome – superfluous coming in a blood of a serotonin, metastasizing in a liver;

• an acromegalia;

• infectious diseases:
• a tuberculosis;

• a brucellosis;

• a malaria;

• oncologic diseases:

• a lymphogranulomatosis;

• malignant lymphoma;

• genetic disturbances:

• family vegetative dysfunction that is a hyper salivation, generalized hyperdrosis, mental lability, lowered painful sensitivity;

• the use of the medical products possessing cholinergic effect;

• an alcoholic or narcotic abstinent syndrome;

• a poisoning phosphor substances, fly-agarics.

Hyperdrosis treatment:

At treatment ofsecondary hyperdrosis it is necessary to influence the reason which has caused it first of all. Often therapy of a basic disease promotes retrogress of treatment methods of idiopathic hyperdrosis and it is possible to part on two groups: conservative and surgical.

Surgical methods of treatment:

Operative measures at hyperdrosis:

A remote method is surgical interventions on the sites which have been kept away from a place of the raised diaphoresis. The sympathectomyis among such methods. The method consists in crossing of a sympathetic trunk at certain level. As a rule, the sympathectomy is carried out at palmar hyperdrosis, it is ineffective at hyperdrosis of axillas and is no effective at hyperdrosis of feet. The lumbar sympathectomy causes an impotency in men.

There are three kinds of a sympathectomy:

• endoscopic – the optimal way from all operative measures concerning hyperdrosis;

• opened – it is characteristic traumatical access, the long period of the after treatment, the expressed postoperative cicatrixes;

• in skin method – it is carried out without visual control of the surgeon that becomes complicated frequent “misses”.

Local, or surgical interventions are applied only to treatment of axillary hyperdrosis and to it concerns:

• a liposuction of an axillary hollow – high cost of procedure and doubtful efficiency;

• a curettage of an axillary hollow – it is dangerous, as a bleeding and formation of hematomas can be seen, besides in some years after performance of curettage the sweating can be restored in connection with possible germination of the nervous terminations and sweat glands;

• excising of an axillary zone – excision of a site of a skin on which the great bulk settles down of sweat glands. It is enough traumatically operation which because of cicatrical changes can limit subsequently volume of movements.

The choice of a method of treatment of the patient with the raised sweating depends on concrete diseases, awareness of the doctor concerning modern methods of therapy and also on wishes of the patient. However the doctor should know about complications and traumatism of surgical methods and in cases, when the clinical situation allows preferring conservative therapy, in which arsenal – highly effective, safe and convenient agents of application.

Conservative methods of treatment:

Radial therapy: the given method has special historical value. Application of radial therapy is unreasonable owing to the expressed by-effects: inflammatory processes in a skin, destruction of sweat glands and hair follicles, development of malignant neoplasms.

Psychotherapy: the given method isn’t capable to solve problem of the raised sweating as that, but helps to change the relation to it and to take out the expressed psychological problems. Besides the psychotherapy promotes control of emotions which often are at the bottom of the raised diaphoresis.

Medicament therapy: specific medicament methods of treatment of hyperdrosis don’t exist. Appointment of sedative preparations and tranquilizers ineffectively and also is always accompanied by development of the expressed by-effects at their long application. The preparations reducing activity of nervous fibers (atropine and its derivatives), besides the core actions cause the expressed dryness in a mouth, giddiness and consciousness disturbance.

Modern “fashionable” agent of medicament treatment is injections of botulotoxin of Botox type which blocks the nervous terminations of sweat glands. The method is expensive and procedure is necessary for repeating constantly (preparation action lasts nearby from four to eight months).

Local treatment and physiotherapy:

There are methods of treatment which efficiency reaches 90 %, they don’t demand an operative measure, aren’t expensive, and they can be used in house conditions. “Odaban” and “Maxim”, and also portable physiotherapeutic apparatus come to a question about antiperspirants.

Also there is an apparatus that was developed by the American scientists, the principle of its action is based on an ionophoresis. Under the influence of a weak electric current on a skin there is an activity suppression of sweat glands and appreciable reduction of a diaphoresis by the period to 4-6 weeks.

There are two kinds of apparatus for palms/feet and axillary hollows.

To local therapy carries also application of antiprespirants. Unlike deodorants they stop diaphoresis process: sweat continues to be developed, but do not get to a skin surface. Similar action causes a part of antiperspirants of organic bonds of aluminum. It is impossible to use antiperspirants in the situations accompanied by a plentiful diaphoresis (appreciable exercise stresses, a strong nervous shock and etc.), as sweat, without leaving on a skin surface, can cause an edema of an axillary hollow. Therefore in such extreme cases it is better to use deodorants.

“Odaban” antiperspirant that was manufactured in Great Britain is an effective agent of night action on a spirituous basis. Since 1971 it is recognized by one of the most powerful agents for elimination of a diaphoresis and is widely used in Great Britain, and all over the world. It is safe, reliable, effective and a universal remedy which is applied for treatments of all kinds of an excessive diaphoresis.

It eliminates such by-effects, as an unpleasant smell (feet, axillas), attritions and grazes (arms, feet). The active ingredient of “Odaban” doesn’t block work of sweat glands; the effect of dryness is based on “closing” of skin pores by the “caps” formed at interaction of Sodium chloride of aluminum and dermal fiber. Insolubility of it formations in water guarantees total absence of absorptions of aluminum by an organism that makes “Odaban” safe at long application and allows to use it in pregnancy.
