Welcome to SweatHelp.org and the International Hyperhidrosis Society. We help people who suffer from excessive sweating. So, whether you have sweaty palms, sweaty feet, excessive sweating in your armpits, or sweat dripping down your face, or even if you sweat profusely all over your body as a result of ETS surgery, you'll find a sympathetic and understanding ear here.
The International Hyperhidrosis Society is the only non-profit, independent, global organization dedicated to the entire excessive sweating community. The International Hyperhidrosis Society increases awareness and understanding of excessive sweating, improves access to hyperhidrosis treatments, provides feedback to the scientific community about excessive sweating, and offers education for medical professionals in order to improve the diagnosis and care of excessive sweating.
We are inviting physicians licensed to practice in Oregon and Georgia to participate in the live-patient treatment portion of our 2010 CME, "Advanced Approach to Hyperhidrosis Diagnosis, Practice and Treatment." These sessions will be held in Portland, OR on April 10, 2010 and in Atlanta, GA on June 5, 2010. Participants will work alongside members of the expert panel, providing treatment with Botox or iontophoresis, as necessary, to patient volunteers. Space is extremely limited for this hands-on training. Register today as an injector/trainee; we will contact you to begin patient volunteer recruitment.
The IHHS, in partnership with Eastern Virginia Medical School, is once again offering two outstanding opportunities this spring for all healthcare professionals to get their hyperhidrosis diagnosis and treatment skills into top form."Advanced Approach to Hyperhidrosis Diagnosis, Treatment, and Practice Integration” will be held in Portland, OR at the Hotel Monaco on Saturday, April 10, 2010 and Atlanta, GA at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead on June 5, 2010. Registration now open!
Times are tough and jobs are disappearing at a rate not seen in decades. The results of our recent employment survey of people who have hyperhidrosis reveals what many sufferers already know: Hyperhidrosis not only deters otherwise qualified candidates from seeking out employment, it also deters potential employers from hiring otherwise capable candidates. But perhaps the most astounding revelation of this survey is that 1 in 4 hyperhidrosis sufferers do not know that their excessive sweating is a treatable medical condition.
Information and treatments for hyperhidrosis sufferers are plentiful compared to the world our parents and grandparents came of age in. While the hardships of this condition remain, we can perhaps more appreciate the advances we now enjoy by taking a look back at what it used to be like to live with excessive sweating.
