Your doctor has never heard of treatments for overly sweaty hands? This is a very common problem so I'm really surprised she said that.
Believe it or not, anti-persperant works really well for that. There's a anti-persperant called CertainDri that you can buy at any drug store. You don't need a prescription but it's prescription-strength. I sweat a lot as well (it's really embarrassing) and this was recommended to me (on this site, actually). NOTHING else helped, but I bought this and it really, really works.
You just have to swipe it onto your hands every night and it will work really well. Pretty soon you'll only have to use it every second night or even once every few days. It doesn't wash off either.
CertainDri costs about $8 but it's worth the price. I really recommend trying it - it's worked for me when nothing else has. Good luck.
Sounds obvious, and you've probably tried it, but, try letting air get to your hands, this is the only ''natural'' way - without using sprays, medication etc for them to dry, everyones hands sweat, especially using things like a computer mouse, whilst your on the PC and using the mouse, lift your hand up slightly, not so only your fingers are on it, but just so you aren't gripping on the mouse and air can pass onto the palm of your hand.
Any other symptoms? Cold sweats? I have PCOS and before I got meds I was like that... hands sweating... worse when I didn't eat.
A dermatologist or endoctrinologist should be able to help.
