A member asked:
Have polycthemia vera. my feet often sweat and become cold no matter the season. is this related or unrelated?does this warrant further investigation?

Unrelated: Sweaty feet is not a symptom of PRV. The fancy name for sweaty feet is hyperhidrosis plantaris. Injections of Botox into the skin of the feet can dramatically reduce the sweating, but must be repeated every 3 months.
