Have Hyperhidrosis. Sweating, Anxiety. Marijuana Effective. What To Do?
I am a 22 year old male and have had severe hyperhidrosis all my life. I have went through every possible thing to manage and live a normal life but nothing worked. I ended up having double etc surgery at UAB Hospital in Birmingham Al. Slowly the sweating and anxiety started coming back until I was back at square one, now doctors in Alabama have no other alternative to try and pretty much sent me on my way and said there was nothing else they could possibly try..Now my question is I have recently heard and since tried marijuana to ease the condition and was shocked that I actually saw and felt results, but its also illigal for medical purposes in Alabama and I honestly am lost and have no idea where to turn?
Marijuana is prescribed in low doses of 2.5 mg to 5 mg, but it is avoided as it causes drug dependence. I suggest you try the other options of treatment like iontophoresis, botox injections, and anticholinergic medications. Avoid heavy clothes, use anti perspirants, use antibacterial soap while bathing and avoid alcohol and spicy food.
Thanks.
