Imagine peeing - you can feel that you're peeing like normal, except no fluid comes out at all.
This is the weirdness of my iontophoresis treatment for sweaty palms/hands; I can clearly feel the tingle of beginning to sweat, except I'm somehow still dry??? wtf??

The tingle isn't the same thing as the sweaty itch you get when running/just exercise; it's fully non-itchy, it feels sorta like the sensation when your mouth suddenly salivates, and for me it's clear and historically 100% corresponds to sweating.

I had a similar experience when I used to use prescription-strength Aluminum Chloride. The tingling would happen even though it effectively prevented sweating. If anything, my hands tingled more. That and the other weird sensations were enough to make me quit using it.

How the hell have I never heard of iontophoresis? If I can get back into climbing when this is over I might have to see if I can get this.
