So I have been reading forums for years now. I have tried many things that never seem to work. I am 40 and have been sweating since I was 11. The older I get the worse it seems to get. I am a firm believer that most health problems can be cured. Its just a matter if figuring out what is causing the problem in the fist place. I had thyroid problems for almost 20 years. I figured that was causing my sweating. I went to Dr. after Dr. with no results. Then I started taking a whole food liquid vitamin, and holy cow!! My thyroid symptoms all went away (except for the sweating). My daughter at age 16 was told she had Rheumatoid Arthritis. Well I wasn't going to stand for that and started doing loads of research. Took her off all milk products and she is a 100% better. Come to find out she has a milk allergy. So Doctors really don't know crap about anything. A couple months ago I read a article where a guy started taking potassium and his sweating stopped. Of course I went out and bought myself some potassium and of course it didn't work for me. Well 3 weeks ago I woke with a cold sore on my lip. :crying: So I dug through my vitamin drawer and took 3000 mg of L-lysine. L-lysine deficiency can cause cold sores. I noticed I didn't sweat like crazy that day. Hmm is there a connection? The next day I took l-lysine again. Holy $*#t My hands, arm pits and feet are dry again. Now when I am nervous they still sweat but way better then sweating all day every day. is been almost 3 weeks so far and I couldn't be happier. Now I am not saying this will cure everyone. Maybe its just a matter of finding what amino acid or mineral you are lacking? I have read that Magnesium deficiency causes sweating and well that didn't work for me either but may work for someone else. Of course I had to look up L-lysine deficiency and sweating and came up with nothing. So I hope This can help someone. :bigsmile:

I never found my magic potion and I've tried many in my 50+ years. From vitamins to all kinds of supplements. Seems like I was born with HH. At least ionto helps the hands from making me drown... unless it doesn't.
Glad you found something to help you. Do you have any cures for Chronic Fibromyalgia? This makes my HH seem like it's the least of my worries.

I have gone the supplement route as stated above and it has zero effect on my HH. I believe MY HH is a genetic defect since birth. HH can also be caused by an offshoot from something else. In cases of secondary HH there is more hope for a possible solution. Those of us born with it and have lived our lives with it, supplements most likely will have little chance. HH for the most part goes beyond a simple deficiency. But hey, anything is worth a shot if you can afford it. Just be careful that supplements of any kind can be just as dangerous as too much medication. I've been there personally.
