Hello all,  This could very well be entirely different but I (not a PWP) had
severe sweating around my head and face a few years ago and found it to be a
Vitamin D deficiency.  After taking megadoses of the vitamin for 2 weeks, I
was "cured".
While on the subject of vitamins, are there some that PWP's CAN and do take
successfully?
