So I have a sweating problem in my hands (hyperhydrosis), and I was wondering if there was any option to wear gloves during OMM? I never really let it effect my life, but as I will have to make much more contact with people's bodies I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable. I've tried prescriptions for my hands for but they only had a mediocre effect.

I think it would depend on your school. It would be wise to contact whoever's in charge of teaching OMM, and see if they can help accommodate you in any way. Best of luck!

I have sweaty hands and it really isn't a problem with OMM. The only time it can be weird is with the cranial hold stuff where your are touching someone for a few minutes. I usually just let the partner I'm working with know my hands might be a little sweaty and I'm sorry about it.

Wearing gloves will make it 100x more weird

Bring a personal towel and let your partner know about your hands being "moist."

No gloves needed.

Just tell them that you're nervous and that it's your first time.

Be sure to snap the gloves on then rub your hands together with enthusiasm while maintaining solid eye contact the entire way through. I wouldn't feel uncomfortable at all. I would be like "Yeaaaaaah. That man means business!"

Consider tap water iontophoresis or Botox if your insurance plan covers it. I keep getting advertisements for this Iontoderma product which seems cheaper than some of the alternatives. I've used RA Fischer in the past out of CA. The Botox doesn't last very long but the iontophoresis will last for decades though it's a lot of time up front before it starts working. I treated a physician that did procedures with his hands and he had very minimal temporary weakness with grip strength. He preferred this over the iontophoresis. You can also use Drysol first to see if it will make it tolerable. You use it every other night to start with. 20% is a prescription. You can consider some of the OTC clinical strength antiperspirants if you haven't tried them. There's topical glycopyrrolate Secure wipe preparations that are in wipe form that are considered OTC. You could also use PO Robinul if you don't want to do the topical options, Drysol, or iontophoresis.
