I am 42 and I think I am on the way to menopause. I have been waking up in

the middle of the night with my nightclothes and sheets wet. We also keep

the house freezing cold (we all like it like that) with central air and fans

in every room. Also recently (for the first time ever), I have cold chills

off and on during the day and turn the air up to 80 (of course that doesn't

last long!) to warm back up. Not much fun on top of everything else!

Hi Louise...I'm on Remicade but have had not had any night sweats. I'm

perimenopausal. Are you diabetic? When my Blood Glucose goes low I

sweat a lot. I sure hope you get this clearned up and have a restful

night.

Love....

It's funny that you should bring that up. The past week or so I've been

getting sweats, too. I haven't had that in a long time. We are tinkering

with my thyroid dosage (lower), and I figured that was the reason.

I'll be interested to see what others say.

Love and hugs,

Carol

Just when I finally thought that I was over menopausal symptoms I have

developed night sweats. These are doozies. I have to have a fan on ,change

night wear and it is sure interrupting my sleep.(Which was finally getting

back to a quasi-normal pattern after the addition of 15mg of Dalmane. Is it

the Remicade? my hormones or what? It sure is frustrating.My husband said I

had the central air on cold enough to freeze beef in the kitchen. Has anyone

had a re-occurrence of this type of problem.after having no problem in 3

years?

hey ya'll... I am 47 and went through menopause 10 years ago. I only

started taking hormones about 1 1/2 years ago. Wish I had taken them

sooner! But was " younger " and full of fight then! And they do make it so

much " easier " .

What I did notice as far as " night sweats " and hot flashes in general

was, was that this hormone taking took them away completely! Wonderful.

But... when I started taking the Prednisone a few months ago, I noticed

that they " came back " to some degree. Just every now and again. But my

Pharmacists explained that the Pred. sometimes " reduces " the

" effectiveness " of the Hormone. But that it would " level back off " . And

it has leveled back off. Thank goodness!

I take my Hormone (FemHrt) in the early a.m., and the Pred. around Noon,

to space them out somewhat.

I don't know how many of you are on Pred. along with your hormones, but

if you are new to taking Pred. maybe it could be like the Pharmacists

said to me?

Hi Louise,

My Lifemate had this same problem, At times it was so severe we would

have to change the sheets in the middle of the night. She switched

her hormones from morning to just before bed.. Problem solved.. Hope

this helps.

Hi Susie,

In my early fights with SLE I was on Pred for a good long time. I

hated it, Made me swell up, The doctor said this is what works and I

had no choice. Along with the Lasiks ( To force kidney function). It

was not a happy time as I felt like a beached whale that needed the

bathroom every few minutes.

Tell her to try coconut oil. I'm having good success with it and

hormones. You can have her do a search on the coconut forum on

hormones for more info plus find Suze's and Katja's coconut chocolate

candy recipes. Those candies are not too difficult to implement.

Of course my success with coconut oil is probably not an isolated

event. I also use lots of fermented vegetable foods, grassfed red

meats and pastured chickens, raw fermented dairy, butter oil/cod liver

oil........

Tell her also to look at the info on women's health on the weston

price foundation site.

Ray Peat has some good info on nutrition and hormones - very compatible with

WAP/NT. If you google his name, his site and articles should come up. I had

night sweats last year on several ocassions that were not menopausal (I'm

41) but were likely due to mercury poisoning (from my amalgams - it's one of

the well-known symptoms) and/or from my thyroid issues, which I think is

caused by my mercury load. I haven't yet removed my amalgams, but I did

start taking several antioxidants at the suggestion of my ND, plus Armour

thyroid, and haven't had any more night sweats. Antioxidants help aleviate

the symptoms of mercury poisoning since it causes oxidative damage, among

other things.

Dix,

I have night sweats too-I think its a combo of " meanopause " and fibro for me. I

just sleep with the fan and very little clothing -lol.

I've been having a problem with night sweats for a while. I assume they're

part of fibro, since so many things are. I know my internal thermostat is off -

there's a very narrow temp range that I'm comfortable in.

Does anyone else have this problem? Know anything more about what causes

it? What can help it?

Thanks in advance,

Night Sweats

Amazing things these

Previous to being diagnosed I had night sweats thinking that it was Menopause

and was not that concerned.

When I had my bleed-out and a radical hysterectomy this year (2008) I knew what

night sweats were all about.

Left me with one ovary and all other tubes, lymph glands, uterus etc were taken

out.

Just the body adjusting and no glivec (at that time for a fortnight) - like a

giant detox.

Sweats - head to toe, just sweating - that the hospital staff had to change

sheets and night clothes.

When I went home from hospital, had to change night clothes, like Lottie had

beach towels on bed to soak

up not sweat but I think the amount of water just pouring off me - just

terrible. Then went back on glivec

and within 2 days sweats stopped. Amazing - and to think some specialists think

that glivec has nothing to do

with hormones.

Sweats - I was ill with bone pain this winter - just could not get warm - and

was walking the pain off - it wasn't bone

ache but actual pain - went on for weeks - I possibly was not eating as well as

I should at that time and I started

to get night sweats again.

I now find if I eat as a good a diet as I can (healthy) and try as I can to say

NO!! to chocolate and cake, (Good reason

to join the CML Weight Loss Gals and Zavie with motivation each week) I find

that I do not have night sweats.

So as Lottie states, could be a wide variety of reasons for night sweats - just

have to keep a diary and try and work

out triggers to see a pattern maybe one suggestion

So true, so true!

I have sweats--they are the bane of my existence! They will not stop

no matter what. I have been in remission for a while and they still

have not stopped, even when my white counts are down. I am about to

go to an endocrinologist to find out if I have a brain tumor or

something going on--it is that bad. Drenching, multiple times per

day. I am almost afraid to do activities because of the discomfort

and embarrassment of having a dripping day.

What to do?!

> Hi, I, too had terrific night sweats and it wasn't because of

hormones, I was already on them, it was the CML. I would sleep on

beach towels and get up and change them every other hour or so. I

also found that working outdoors, the sweats would come and blind me

because of the salt dripping from my scalp and face. When I was

diagnosed and got my wbc under control, the sweats stopped. So

depending on whether you are male or female, are on hormones or just

beginning the menopausal cycle, you may be sweating for a different

reason. Now, where else could you talk about something like this,

but here?

I am exactly the same way. I use my air conditioning or ceiling fan to keep me

cool, but also have to cover up so that I don't get cold. It makes no sense.

Dear all,

Has anyone noticed please if night sweating (soaked sheets etc) is

associated with CMT type 2? Asking for son age 8, although did notice

in husband (who also has CMT) a few years back (not so much recently).

Thanks very much!

Yes it is very weird and I never quite understood it.
