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?
