Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Now you guys can get a taste of what we women go through during menopause.LOL That is exactly what I thought the night sweats were. I seem to be on the front end of the process (menopause) but had heard night sweats were common. So now I have 2 things to attribute them to. Barby married 21 years, mom of 5 sons- KS UC - dx in 1965 (11yo), total proctocolectomy with ileoostomy 1972, BCIR (continent ileoostomy)1994 PSC- dx in 1999 nordgren1@...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 aubrey, i have never gotten around to asking jim's many doctors about night sweats, so i am very appreciative of you taking the time to explain this to me/us. now that i think of it, not only has jim had consistent night sweats since being dx'd with PSC, but it goes back to about 17 years ago, when he started to first get ill with his colitis. he did exactly what you suggested -- went to bed in t-shirts to soak up all the wet. (so wow, everything you said makes sense to me). i love how you explain things so understandably. i'm jim's future " transplant support person, " but it's like YOU are mine :-) maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 Hi there, I have such a problem with night sweats it isn't funny. Thank God I'm marrying a Mainer -- he doesn't like a warm house, so we keep the thermostat at 60 all through the winter. I sometimes overheat to such a degree at night that my nightgown is soaked, along with my pillowcase and fitted sheet. About the only thing I can do is throw off the covers and get up and let the sheets air dry a little. It is really awful. Also -- no artificial fibers on my bed -- cotton (and a few linen) sheets, down comforter, cotton nightgowns and t-shirts. Anything polyester in my bedding and I feel like I'm wrapped in Saran Wrap and under heat lamps. YUCK! My family thinks I'm crazy because I bring my own sheets and comforter with me when I stay over! I've had night sweats for some time now -- since my UC was diagnosed nearly 17 years ago, but it definitely got MUCH worse about 4-5 years ago. The PSC diagnosis kicked it up to a whole new level. God help me when I have babies -- I'll have to move to the Arctic Circle! Colleen Aubrey wrote: This symptom is very common for a variety of diseases, including chronicliver disease of autoimmune origin and gastrointestinal diseases such asUlcerative colitis. The reason UC is thought to cause this is that yourgut is responsible for a good portion of our heat maintenance because ofit's metabolic activity (functioning as it digests and moves our foodalong it's length).

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 I wonder why that is, sleeping at night sweating, during the day sleeping, nothing.... Maybe he should get a night job so he can sleep during the day! Barby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 here's what I find interesting.....Mike was having pretty bad night sweats for about three weeks (subsiding the past few nights)...however, if he were to lay down during the day...nothing at all? I wonder why that is, sleeping at night sweating, during the day sleeping, nothing.... more stuff to ponder!

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 you know what Barby, I guess you could say he has a night job because he is a muscician and usually doesn't get home until 4 or 5 am....but on the nights he is home...well, we had to take our new 'Brunswick' sheets off the bed (they are so warm and fuzzy)....He hasn't had any significant sweating episodes since a couple of days after stopping that new fangled milk thistle with the licorice and wild yam...so, who knows.... for any of you ladies having hot flashes that wild yam stuff is supposed to balance you all out and help that....

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Numb tingly mouth and other parts could be low calcium. Night sweats Hello, Are night sweats and breathlessness an adrenal symptom? Here's my situation and why I haven't started anything yet. I wanted to do a salvia test first. Did the test and it got lost. Finally showed up but was too long to process. Now I'm waiting for another kit. BUT, I"m also weaning off of xanex and I have been told by the company helping me wean that cortef interferes with the xanex and makes the withdrawal process really hard. But I know I need to start thyroid as my FT3 is so low. I also have numb tingly mouth and other parts of my body. I"m depressed and anxious and scared to try anything as I always seem to get worse no matter what I try. Sorry to whine more. I just feel stuck and scared and screwed Liz __________________________________ Liz Vernand www.ojaipaintedminis.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 >>Are night sweats and breathlessness an adrenal symptom?<< Well they CAN be, but may be other things as well. breathlessness can be form hypo and night sweats can also be form low estrogen. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Night sweats could be either thyroid or adrenal. If adrenal it is probably related to hypoglycemia. Breathlessness is a hypo symptom. Tingling is usually thyroid. Depression is thyroid and anxiousness is probably adrenal but thyroid also causes it. Clear as mud? Fix both and you will eliminate all those symptoms. Missy > > Hello, > > Are night sweats and breathlessness an adrenal symptom? Here's my situation > and why I haven't started anything yet.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 My E levels are fine as I just had them checked. I used to think it was that but now I"m thinking it's something else. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Was your estradiol test saliva or blood? Like thyroid, the "normal" ranges for estrogen can be very broad and unhelpful. If it was a blood test, i'd be happy to interpret the result, if you'd like to post it. Hollis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 > Hello, Are night sweats and breathlessness an adrenal symptom? Hi there, I just recently went through a brief period (thankfully) of night sweats.. I do believe mine were more 'female hormone - estrogen' related - Mental Pause (as my sister likes to call it), but all of this happened as I was coming to the end of a 6-9 mo zone where TSH was around 2... gnarly... I'll leave out the growling, teeth gnashing, grumbling part...anyhow... I read that Evening Primrose Oil was helpful for PMS and night sweats. It seemed to help me and I know another woman going through Mental Pause, as well (also a thyroid person), who can't tout its virutes enough. Now, I do not know what is creating your problem... this is just another something to look into... I hope whatever it is, it goes away quickly for you. As it was, I could barely get to sleep at night and then to be awakened by a flush of heat, I often couldn't find my way back to dream land.. spent many sleepless nights... too bad I didn't know about these groups then =}... Fortunately, it only lasted a little while (1-2 mos?). Ironically, last month, I crawled into bed and was freezing and my sweetie let me know that it was the same temp when I was frantically ripping sheets off and trying to climb out of my skin.. I find it amazing how our bodies do what they do... Great health to you. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 My last test was 175 via blood. I use 10mg of Estridiol in Olive oil base. Liz Was your estradiol test saliva or blood?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Liz, I've been fighting with night sweats off and on for about 1 year now. The latest bout seems to be going away. I have adreanl problems, estrogen dominance with meno, low ferritin as well as hypo T. I was taking half of my armour at night. I've recently switched all of my armour doses to the AM, rearranged my HC dosing so that 5 mg is taken at night plus I'm mega dosing on the vitamin C. Finally my night sweats are going away. If I forget my nighttime HC or my mega dosing of vitiam C they come back straight away along with a lot of other symptoms. So for me, my night sweats are very much an adrenal/thyroid issue.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Are they specifically adrenal? or thyroid? I used to have terrible night sweats, not so much. BUT, I am worried about my daughter. She hasn't complained about night-sweats, but she just SMELLS in the morning, its awful. Not "summer-adult-sweating" smell, but this stale/musty almost smell. It seems to go away once she gets up and gets moving, but gosh, when I get her up in the morning, yikes! I've changed her sheets, sniffed her bed all over, its not that, it must be her.
