@contentandwell None that don't cost an outrageous amount to go to and aren't covered by my insurance and I only know of one. I also know of a few that have gone to her and their treatments aren't helping at all. My dermatologist told me that it would require me to have my sweat glands removed and he said he would not perform that surgery because of the dangers it opened me up to. And then he wanted to put me back on the pill (post menopausal/husband had prostate cancer twice, surgery and radiation) ... can we say it would be the immaculate conception if I were to get pregnant ....... in order to do a new treatment and in researching that treatment and women in my age bracket, it was scary what was happening to these women in other organs as a result of the treatment so I decided I'd rather deal with a disease at least I know something about than to head into the unknown with poor results. 🙁

@autumnleaves I can understand your reluctance to take any of your current options. If the specialist had a better track record it might be worth the money to get relief. I sincerely hope some other, better options will open up for you.
Please let us know if you find anything that does help.
