Talk:Hyperhidrosis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't know if this is the place for this, but i was wondering if there was a way to "link" posts under your ip address to your new user name. I posted without signing up, and now I would like to see them under "my contributions" on my page.
One additional note, I must add another treatment entry for the Dehydral cream, but I need to do more research on it. I believe the cream is sold under brand name called Anhydral (spelling?). If anyone knows more about what the cream is, I would encourage you to add it. If not, I will try and found out.
I also plan on further editing the treatment entries--I think they aren't as complete as they could be.

RoshSok: 01:59, 27 Aug 2005: I feel that though we know much of the info is correct, we should include sources for them. Also, many facts are stated that may or may not be true--such as the incidence of suicide, and chronic pain. Unless there is a source for them, they should not be included.
[edit] Moved from Atropine
Here's some information that I have removed from the Atropine page. It should probably be re-integrated on this page: --Mdwyer 17:17, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
An article on eMedicine (http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic893.htm) reports:
"Systemic agents used to treat hyperhidrosis include anticholinergic medications. Anticholinergics such as propantheline bromide, glycopyrrolate, oxybutynin, and benztropine are effective because the preglandular neurotransmitter for sweat secretion is acetylcholine (although the sympathetic nervous system innervates the eccrine sweat glands). The use of anticholinergics may be unappealing because their adverse effect profile includes mydriasis, blurry vision, dry mouth and eyes, difficulty with micturition, and constipation."
[edit] Excessive sweating
I just copyedited this article (a lot) to remove its commercial feel, some content from there might want to be merged here. SailorfromNH 00:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Source
"....but this hyperactivity may in turn be caused by abnormal brain function." What does this mean? Can this be specified? Source?
The temperature regulation part of the brain, hypothalamus I believe it's called.
[edit] The meaning of "mandated by the article itself" in WP:EL
Please see Wikipedia Talk:External links, where is is clear that the meaning of "mandated by the article itself" does not mean what User:137.132.3.11 wants it to mean: "forums [...] should not be linked to, unless they are the subject of the article".
