Guest guest Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 I had ETS surgery done. It abolished my social/embarrassment blushing, which was my worst trigger. The surgery involves clamping or cutting your T2 and sometimes T3 sympathetic nerves (I had clamping done). It's chest surgery. I was in the hospital overnight. I also had hyperhidrosis (hand sweating) and that was the main reason for me getting the surgery. The extreme decrease in social blushing is a nice side effect. I am really happy with that part. Overall I am moderately happy with it. The only negative so far is I think my nose flushes a tiny bit more easily to heat now, but that is not nearly as big of a problem as the deep, intense social blushing was before. Also, my hands are pretty dry - I have to use moisturizer on them at least every other day. And, my lower back sweats a tiny bit more than it used to - but no big deal at all. There are risks, though, and I would NOT consider this surgery unles you have intense blushing from social situations and have tried everything (laser surgery, beta blockers, etc) - read in Dr. Nases book. He gives a very good description and a stern warning. Patty > Someone is asking: > > -=-=-= > > Do you know what is ETS? > I've read a testiminial about ETS used for ocular rosacea. > Please, help!
