Dr Nielson,
Its me Lisa you operated on me last weds!! Thought I'd drop a line
to let you know how things have been since!
The very best thing is I can lay next to my husband at night.
I rub my feet up and down his legs. My cats before I would
have to brush them they shed so much it was just horrible!
Now I can scratch and play with them. Before I was always cold
always wiping the water from my hands with soaked socks! Now
my feet are dry! Yea! I've sweat a little across my belly wheni
got out in the heat but thank goodness I did and it felt so
good for my feet and hands to be dry as the breeze
blew by! I want to thank you Dr Nielson, you have made a 100% change
in my life. All the problems that before seemed so huge, are
now so very small. its so nice to write and thank you with
dry hands upon the keys! I prayed and I prayed and the week
before surgery I was praying about many things because I take
care of daddy and he suffers from neuropathy! But, I prayed. "please
god this first so that i can bare the load ahead with daddy",
and god answered me with you! I recieved an email from another
surgeon saying it wasn't ethical to ask money upfront and I should
consider coming there! I wrote and told him I couldn't of been
placed in better hands! And, the outcome is priceless!! I didn't
mean to write you a book, its just that life seems so very wonderful
now! I find myself crying for little things like playing footsies.
Now we can walk through the sand without castle's being built on
my sweaty toes! (ha,ha)
Thank you and when you find the time could you send me the names
of the doctors for daddy! thank you!
(Patient)
Dear Dr. Nielson,
It's been under one week since my surgery. My results
are unbelievable!! I used to sweat excessively (dripping sweat)
from my hands and feet. You told me that there was a 50/50 chance
my feet would stop sweating. Well I guess I fell under the good
50% because my feet are now as dry as my hands. The surgery was
100+% effective. So far I have had no rebound or compensatory sweating.
I have already been in several situations where my hands would
have dripped sweat and instead they remained absolutely dry and
I remained absolutely cool and confident. I went to church today
and usually when we get to the point in the mass when we all hold
hands I would excuse myself and go the bathroom, but today I gladly
extended both my hands and I thanked God for leading me to you.
I know after reading all your testimonials you must realize how
grateful your patients are for your work, but I must tell you again
how extremely thankful I am everyday that I stumbled across your
website. I agree with the patient that said we need to get you
on Oprah, because it pains me to think that there are so many more
people out there suffering like I was who are not aware of you
and how easy your procedure is. I feel even more fortunate, because
I know people travel thousands of miles to get to you and I was
only a two hour car drive away. I wish I could have met Cheryl
and Peggy while I was in San Antonio to thank them personally for
all their help and kindness in dealing with my insurance preparations.
Once again thank you,
(Patient)
Dr.
Nielson,
Tomorrow will be three months since my ETS surgery and I
want to let you know how pleased I am with the results! I fully
expected that after the surgery my hands would be warm and dry. What
I didn't expect was that my feet would be dry as well. After
spending 20 years (since I was 15 years of age) obsessing about how
cold and wet my hands were it is hard to believe that they are so
warm and dry. I spend a great deal of time just looking at
my hands and thinking how easy it was to complete the ETS surgery
and the process leading up to the surgery. Dr. Nielson and
his staff were incredibly informed and helpful. I have to admit
that I was a little skeptical that it could be this easy. After
all, I found out about this surgery via the Internet. I researched
other sites, talked to the dermatology department at Johns Hopkins,
even talked to Dr. Nielson's staff many times. Let me tell
you that it was better than I could have ever expected.
As for side effects, they are so minor it is almost not worth mentioning. I
experienced minor pain after the surgery--almost like I had a slight muscle pull
in my rib cage. I never had a need for the pain killers. It was gone
after the second day. I felt like I was ready for full athletic action
after a week (but I kept my promise not to work out for two weeks so tomorrow
will be my first day back at the gym). I experienced some "phantom" sweating
the first and second day--I was feeling those sensations that meant my hands
were about to start sweating but they remained dry. The third day I actually
did experience some minor rebound sweating--slight moisture in the left palm
and on the fingertips of my right hand. They literally dried-up the same
day. It appears as though my compensatory sweating is occurring just below
my pectoral muscles on the front and on my back. This is not a big deal. It
only occurs at times when my hands and feet would have been sweating. In
fact, I used to sweat behind the knees and in the groin area and this is now
gone as well.
Again, thank you Dr. Nielson and thank you to the entire staff. The ETS
surgery is a wonderful thing and I would recommend it to anyone looking to solve
their hyperhidrosis and Raynaud's. I would state that it was 100% effective! Please
feel free to use this email as a testimonial on your website and feel free to
use my name and number as a reference to any others seeking feedback.
Sincerely, (Patient)
2
years post-ETS Anniversary!
A BIG hello to Dr. Nielson, Cheryl, Peggy, Jane & staff!
2 years ago today, I had my ETS for severe HH & mild
blushing. My life has changed so much since the op. I'm out in the
world doing the things I love that were very embarassing to do when
I had HH (hyperhidrosis)/blushing.
I've been performing onstage (I'm a classical singer) and I also serve as an
on-call rehearsal accompanist. That is something I always dreaded doing before
ETS because my hands would sweat all over the piano. I am an AVID (some might
say obsessed...LOL) knitter and I love working with my hands.
At my job, I'm working with clients and can shake hands without having to swipe
them on my pants first or worry about "the look" when they feel my
hands. They're still warm & dry. I am wearing bright, colourful clothes with
confidence.
I'm finally to the point where I don't worry about sweating anymore. After the
op, it takes a while to "retrain your brain" and quit thinking negatively
about sweating. If you've had HH your whole life, you get into a cycle of worrying
about sweating to the point where you plan your day around hiding it. (How do
I get through this meeting? How can I hide my hands during my interview?, etc).
I don't have to think like that anymore. I have finally stopped hiding my hands
which is something I never realized I did until I had ETS and didn't have to
worry about sweaty hands. I don't chose my clothes based on what I called "sweat
factor" (in other words, how much sweat is going to show?)
My CS is minimal to none. I rarely get it and when I do it's either when I work
out or in the hot summer months. It's very light so it's a non-issue for me.
I never sweat on my face or hands. My underarms can sweat a little bit if I don't
use antiperspirant. My feet are dry about 98% of the time.
When I do sweat, it's just a bit of moisture on my back & stomach (and sometimes
thighs when it's really hot outside). Like I said before, to me it's a non-issue
because it's nothing compared to what life was like with HH.
Just wanted to give you all an update and let you know that I'm still doing great
and life is good. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!
Kindest regards,
(Patient)
(ETS on March 26, 2001)
