i found a cure

[anne]

I had bromhidrosis since I was young and everyday was a battle for me. Having hyperhidrosis didn't help either. I thought it was the sweat under my arms that's making the smell but I started using some good antiperspirant and even when completely dy I still smell. I didn't know what to do, I had low self-esteem, everytime a guy would approach me, I'd keep my distance hoping they won;t smell me. I couldn't smell myself, I could only tell by the people's reaction when they get close to me, they'd rub their noses. It started getting worse when I was preganant and after, hormone changes or something got to do with it. I was hopless so I did a lot of research but no doctor in the US would do this procedure that I wanted, APOCRINE REMOVAL. I found one doctor online but he's in china, I contacted the doctor and yes! I went to china, it was going to be cheaper and had more good chances than having some unsure thing done here. I had somebody come with me, to take care of me after surgery. China was nice but it was a public hospital so it wasn;t good for me to expect anything fancy looking hospital but it wasn;t bad at all. The surgery room was updated and really nice. it was just very busy and too many people in the hospital. Very few spoke english but we were lucky enough that the doctor understands english. The procedure was minor, but I was not to move my arms for 3-4 days then a lil movement after that. I did the procedure almost 2 mos ago and I still have a little bit of scar. I had help changing me and feeding me after the surgery. I remember complaining of not moving but i reminded myself that i had to sacrifice at least that if i really wnated the smell to go away.. Now when im around people, i sometimes intend to get so close to them just to see their reaction ;D and they don;t rub their noses anymore! It is the most effective procedure but the hardest one I think in terms of recovery but the good thing is it worked for me and I don;t have to put on deodorant, only if i want to. No more hyperhidrosis either and very few hairs! The hairs are almost not growing. So i am very happy with the procedure, and I promised to share my experience when I find the cure.

Happy you found a cure, because B.O issues are a NIGHTMARE to live with. Especially if you know you're probablythe cleanest person around.

That is truly great Anne how well it worked out for you. I wish my odour could be cured so quickly like that. I'd just like to point out to maybe some of the newer members who were not joined the old forum that unfortunately a lot of people found that when they had some of their underarm sweat glands removed their odour migrated to different parts of their bodies.
I guess it just goes to show different things work for their people but definately to take such a big step you would have to think really carefully about it as such a procedure has backfired bigtime for a lot of people.
ps I really don't want to offend anyone but it is a good rule of thumb on forums like these to be suspicious of somebody who comes on without posting anything before and suddenly offers a miracle cure that will solve everything. Often these are such instances of a marketing campaign by some company. If you are on the level Anne then I apologise completely for casting any doubt on you but I've seen people caught out like that before so I guess it's always a good idea to be wary of anything which might seem too good to be true.
