The best purchase! I'll never look back.
I started with my hands on the lowest setting (5ma) and was only able to do 9 minutes. It was extremely uncomfortable and felt a little dizzy afterwards. I think I was not expecting the feeling - as if my hands fell asleep and could not stop tingling. However, I was determined to stick with it. I worked my way up to 30 minutes at 5mA and then I was eventually able to work up to the recommended 15mA and therefore lower the time to 20min. After about 15 sessions at 15mA for 20 min, I was completely dry. I never thought I would see the day. Not even botox got me that dry. I'm still in disbelief actually. I never thought I would feel normal, sweating became my normal. I'm still amazed at the situations I'm in now where normally I would be trying to find an excuse not to touch someone (even a simple high five) and now I can act like a normal human. And by the way, same with my feet. I can actually wear sandals now without sliding all around. And I don't have to change my socks multiple times during the day when I wear shoes. It's amazing! One thing I suggest that I learnt with trial and error is to go above the water line. In the tray there is a line you have to fill the water to, but I noticed my whole hand and foot wasn't being covered (spots where I sweat) and therefore those areas were not being treated and still sweating. That's when I ignored the water line and went as high as I could. There is no increase in discomfort just more coverage in treatment. I also noticed when I was following the water line for my feet it was hitting my cuticles and the pain was unbearable. They say to put Vaseline on those parts, but I decided to raise the water to where it wouldn't hit the cuticles, and that worked perfectly and gave me more treatment coverage. All in all, if you are on the fence about this product.. please go for it! It changed my life. I was so depressed before, never being able to find a solution and trying to come to terms with how horrible my quality of life was. I can't believe how long I waited to get the RA Fisher, but it was honestly the best decision I ever made.
