Hi,
Firstly sorry to hear about your sister condition. Coming to the query part, as you mentioned she gets cramped all where and there is excessive sweating than I feel this condition in medical is called as Hyperhidrosis. In this condition there is a loss of sodium from the body in the form of sweat leading to cramps.
I prefer you meet up a physician as it is of utmost importance to have some medicinal supplement for this cause. there are many medical compounds like glycopyrrolate, oxybutynin, benztropine, propantheline, and others but the decision will be made to provide what compound and when is totally based on after checking certain parameters.
Also, she has to consume more water in a day than regular people as losing more sodium from the body is a not a good thing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
