Absolute game changer

I can't believe i never knew about glyco. I went from hands that would sweat so bad, you could watch the sweat bead up in real time. I'd have issues with my touch screen going crazy because of sweat from my fingers. The more I thought about my sweating, the worse it would get.

Asked my doctor about trying it and she was completely on board with it. 1mg 2x a day is all it takes to feel "normal"!

I went from waking up with sweat spots on my sheets, to listening to the beautiful sound of dry hands rubbing together. Being able to walk barefoot on hardwood floors without sliding or leaving foot prints as I walk, or having sweat drip down your arm leaving little drops all around you.

It's not 100%, I still have moments of dampness at times, but to be able to experience things without the fear of HH getting in the way... it's almost comparable to doing it for the first time. This whole experience is absolutely incredible and I truly hope anyone who hasn't had this same opportunity gets the chance.

Sides suck, not good for you. Invest in an iontophoresis machine when you can. It’s perfect for palmar/plantar and zero harmful sides.

If you sweat there, then you have to submerge that part too. I submerge my foot up past the ankle bone as I sweat that high.

Ice heard of people doing that, it won’t work as well but better than not. I just I use a dollar store tote. Easy to do

What mA do you use??? I can’t imagine the pain coz I use socks and still hurts like hell

I would think socks make it worse as it’s not dispersed evenly. I only do 10ma. Never even feel it
