Please follow the link below to the second ever post that was published on this blog, which is Briton Chris Carter's account of how he recovered, over a period of approximately one year, from ETS side effects - including severe compensatory sweating - by making long-term changes to his eating habits.

"After one-and-a-half years of all these terrible side effects, I started to research the human body, starting with the ETS operation. Coming from an engineering background, I like to find solutions and answers to problems. After looking at all my side effects and what causes the same conditions in people who have not had ETS, I started to work things out from the results of all my tests and scans and I began looking at the op and the sympathetic nervous system in more detail.
"It took me about a year to fully come out of ETS side effects by changing my diet and lifestyle. For the last year and a half my body has been rebuilding. I was only going to get better as a result as coming out of the state of fight-and-flight...."
Thanks to Chris Carter for sharing this information.

I continue to suffer from compensatory sweating after having the ETS procedure in 2003. Please check out this website www. sweatbetter.com.
ReplyDeleteI receive a vast amount of emails from those who are suffering significantly from compensatory sweating. Many are extremely depressed, which is very concerning to me. Sweat Better is not a cure, hence the name sweat better. It simply helps manage the side effect compensatory sweating, making life easier. Best Regards, Debbie.
