Re: Off topic, but am absolutely desperet at this point for help!

   If you are able to type on a keyboard, many of the voice 
over gestures can be done with keystrokes when using a blue tooth keyboard 
with iOS.  I thought I heard about some kind of pen you can use on a touch 
screen instead of your fingers, though you wouldn't be able to use the two 
or three finger gestures or pinch and stuff like that.

Hello, by chance, I  know well hyperhidrosis, because I work in a clinic
natural therapies.

It is known that there is Simpaticectomia Thoracic Superior Bilateral or
ETS (Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy) is a simple surgery that definitely
solves the problem of excessive sweating of hands, armpits and feet.

It is performed in the operating room and takes approximately 30 minutes.

If carries a single incision in the chest under the armpit to perform
sympathetic nerve ablation thoracoscopy.



Although many people suffer from hyperhidrosis, few people know that it is
a medical condition that has name and treatment. Hyperhidrosis is nothing
more than excessive unpredictably sweating. But wait, before diagnosed with
hyperhidrosis understand that people with this problem even sweat during
cold days, or when they are at complete rest.



What are the causes?

The sweat, in most cases, is the body's natural reaction to maintain the
balance of body temperature. When we practice exercise, or feel shame, for
example, our body heat and sweat appears as a form of defense. However,
those having the sweat hyperhidrosis, even  without these triggers occurs.
This type of problem can cause others such as physical and even emotional
distress.



Apparently you have primary hyperhidrosis, one that affects the hands, feet
and armpits; there may be no obvious cause, and may be hereditary.

 When exist  another medical condition, it’s  called secondary
hyperhidrosis.



The important thing is that  you know that do not need to live with this
problem!

You're already on the right track, because some persons  live in ignorance,
understanding that this is a real  problem.



Well, you can first try to resolve the problem with natural therapy. But
how to deal with home remedies ?



1st .  sage :

The sage tea is an excellent remedy for hyperhidrosis because it has
antiperspirant properties, helping to prevent and regulate the production of
sweat excessively.

To prepare, use 500 ml of water and two tablespoons of sage leaf tea.

Add the two ingredients and let rest for a period of approximately 5
minutes.

Strain and then consume drinking even twice a day.



2nd .  Talc and Sodium  bicarbonate :

Mix one tablespoon of Sodium Bicarbonate and cornstarch spoon to your  talc
and use  always after a shower.

Apply mainly in areas prone to suffer from sweating .



3rd .  lemon :

Lemon is another way to combat this excessive sweating. To do this, apply a
little lemon juice right after a shower, or every day in the morning. Thus,
you may notice that the region will be drier.



4th .  Apple cider vinegar :

The apple vinegar must be consumed on an empty stomach, mixed in water.
Place a tablespoon of vinegar in a glass of water and consume on waking,
before consuming any food.





Also, exist some  Rubber-pens! I know there but I never used it, so I do
not know if it's handy.

Anyway, good energy, good health, hopefully you will go to  improve.



P.S. sorry about my English.

Hope Santa Claus will come to your town!

Chris, I was asking a serious question.  No need for the rude remark.  Alas, 
I digress to answerring your questions.  They say that it's not severe 
enough for medication or anything.  Frankly, I disagree, but I've gone 
through about 4 doctors now all who have told me the same thing.


Anyway, I'll look into those gloves and see if that may help.

Might not be a bad idea.  I think the only thing that really concerns me 
about that is, would they be really really warm, therefore making my hands 
sweat even more in the long run.

there are gloves available that are still conductive, meant for use with 
touchscreen devices.

NO sir!  Absolutely not!  My nails are long enough I'd scratch the thing 
useless.  Sorry.  I'm not trying to make that purposely sound rude, but that 
is not a good idea in my case.

Off topic, but am absolutely desperet at this point for help!

2014-12-24 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland

Guys,

This is somewhat embarrassing to write, but I'm at the point now where I 
can't stand it any longer.  I need some suggestions.


If you'd rather write me about this off list, that's totally 100% 
acceptible.


clgillan...@gmail.com

OK, so here's the deal.  I've been an I O S user for quite some time now. 
Since 2009 with my first IPod Touch 3GS.  Since, I've gone through IPod 
Touches, IPhones, and IPads all 3.  The issue is, I have a medical condition 
called Hyperhydrosis.  For those of you who don't exactly know what this is, 
basically, I don't like admitting it, but what it means essentially is, my 
hands are always nonstop 24/7 profusely! clammy/oily/sweaty.  I mean, we're 
not talking your average sweat here.  It's absolutely disgusting!  It's not 
to the point where my hands are literally dripping sweat, thank god, but 
it's bad enough to where they always are very greezy, and have lots of oil 
buildup like crazy.  Way way! more than the average person.  For this 
reason, even with a screen protector, or a case, like say, a Lifeproof, or 
even better yet, an Otterbox Defender, my screen becomes utterly nasty! 
within literally half a day of use.  And buddy? I don't just mean yeah, 
there are some smudges and fingerprints.  No...  I'm saying it is ab, suh, 
lootly? filthy!  Trust me!  It's repulsive!  I won't even use other people's 
phones/IPads/IPods unless it's for maybe like a 3 to 5 minute period just to 
check something quickly for them.  Because of all the sweat/oil, it dries 
and just gunks all over the screen so badly, it almost literally feels like 
little sand particals on the screen surface.  I've attempted to clean my 
screen, but no matter what I do, I can't get it cleaned.  I get it to where 
it's hugely improved, but according to my sighted friends, they still say 
it's absolutely filthy.  Usually, I have them wipe it off for me, but I 
don't know what they're doing different than me.  They hand it back and say 
it's now clean, but again, like I said, within several hours, it's right 
back to where it was before.  Basically, it's inevitable.  It's going to get 
really really dirty incredibly fast.  I read online that I can use a very 
very mildly... key word... extremely!... lightly dampened lent-free fabric 
cloth, and wipe it down, but that doesn't seem to be really working.  That 
gets rid of the smudges, but it still seems to be very greezy from all the 
oil in my hands.  Yes, I always always, always! wash my hands very very 
thoroughly with luke warm to mildly hot water and liquid soap before I 
handle the thing, but that doesn't really help too much.  Either that, or if 
I'm not near a sink, I'll use some hand sanatizer.   Obviously, on my hands, 
not the screen.  LOL!  I'm not stupid!  LOL!  That helps a bit, but not 
much.  Well, the other problem is too, I get real bad dandrif, and sometimes 
it flakes off my skalp on to the screen unknowingly.  That's rare, but 
sometimes it does happen.  My point is, firstly and foremost, what is 
probably in my case going to be the best way to clean this screen off 
thoroughly?  Secondly, once we get all the shit off of it, what is probably 
the best way for me to keep it clean as addiquitly as possible, considerring 
my situation?  I know being my issue, it's obviously not gonna be easy, but 
is there anything I can do?  Yeah, I know, talk to my doctor.  They tell me 
there really isn't much they can do.  They don't wanna do medication nor 
surgery, as they say it's not severe enough.  I'd honestly tend to agree 
with the surgery part of it, but not the point of not medicating me for it. 
Anyway, they won't do it, so that's that.  Yes, I've gotten multiple 
opinions.  They all say the same exact thing.


Not only have I in the past used a dry or very lightly dampened lent free 
cloth, I've also at times used an unsented no lotion, no alcohol Huggies 
babywipe but that doesn't seem to really help much either.  I'm real! real! 
hesitant to use liquid air on the thing.  I've also used the chlorox 
disinfecting electronic wipes, but that isn't doing much good either.  It 
helps for all of maybe an hour, and that's about it.


I just wonder if anyone has any ideas.  I'd love to use my device, but it's 
honestly becoming gross!  Sorry to gross you all out with all this, it's 
quite humilliating, but, this is really the only list I'm on with any blind 
I O S users.  So, yeah... I'm hoping someone may have an idea.


If it helps be more specific, I have an IPad Air.  Not the newer one, but 
the older first generation Air.  Then, I also have an IPhone 5S.


I have an otterbox defender case for the IPhone, although I took it out of 
there recently, so I could plug the thing into my speaker dock.  Yeah, I 
know, I know, quit doing that!  Use a bluetooth speaker!  I know, I know, 
you don't have to tell me!  LOL!


I don't have a case for my IPad Air, and frankly, don't know of one that 
would be good.  It really! would be cool if I could f
