I just watched the progamme and found it very interesting and was upset that the lady with sweaty armpits was not offered the treatment that I have already had. I had hyperhydrosis under my arms and it was awfull for me. I tried a few options that my doctor offered but nothing worked. He then suggested I could have surgery to remove the sweat glands from under my arms. I had it done privatey as the NHS would not cover this surgery as it is classed as "cosmetic surgery"
Its been about 3 years now and I do not sweat under my arms any more. For me that treatment worked!
