SDLA DID NOT WORK FOR ME

My axillary sweating returned completely by week 5, quicker than the 1st time, with the more superficial procedure. I can honestly say that I had no improvement at all with either of the SDLA procedures. Darn. Will be going to see Dr. R. Karpinski in New York next for the modified Skoog procedure.

SDLA SURGERY #2

Had the surgery again 2/8/2010 and today is post-op day 2. The new procedure was more traumatic on me than the first time around. Maybe because less anesthesia was used, maybe because I had scar tissue from the first time. Don't know. Besides the underarm swelling and some brusing the recovery is going well so far. I didn't have the numbness down my arm that happened the day of the last surgery, and I don't have the nerve pain down both arms like last time either. So far no erosion. No sweating noted so far but it was day 3 on a hot summer day before I noted any return of sweating. It is winter and cold now. For me that normally does not matter as my sweating is mostly anxiety produced anyway. I will keep posting as the days go by...

6 Months Post-Op 1st SDLA

My axillary sweating and odor has returned 100%. The case of ringworm I had turned out to be nummular eczema and not ringworm at all. New condition since the surgery but don't think it is related.
I am going to return to Dr. Nielson for another SDLA procedure soon to try again with a revised protocol. I will keep this blog going until my journey ends with dry underarms.
Wish me luck!
