Re: Re: Night Sweats

[Guest guest]

Tami,

After my surgery I would get this feeling of empending doom, an unbelievable

thirst and then this wave of heat would pass through me. I would get so red

that people would ask me what's wrong. Since I've been on the hormones, I don't

get them like that anymore. I just get hot really easily and wake up soaking

wet during the night.

I've been on the same combo of meds for awhile now and it doesn't seem to

correlate with taking them.

My doctor doesn't seem to understand what's going on. That's why I thought I'd

throw it out to you guys.

I hope you are having a low pain day as well.

Re: Night Sweats

-alanna, Have you started a new medication? maybe side effects of current meds?

I get really hot sometimes after taking my pain med. Aslo I have been

menopausal for 2 yrs. I still occassionally get hot flashes. When I was

perimenopausal, I would get them so bad that I would feel sick and have to lie

down. a couple times I was sweting so bad, that it looked like someone had

poured water over me. In my experience and talking to other women, hormonal

sweats seem tobe confined to above the waist. I would only feel really hot from

the rib cage up. If your sweasts involved our entire body, maybe you should see

your doc. I hope this helps some. have a low pain day. Tami

November of '05. I have found some bioidentical hormones which seem to

eliminate the traditional hot flashes, but I still have a " heat intolerance " .

As soon as it gets above 70 degrees I begin to sweat profusely. Now the last

couple of months, I wake up about midnight or so and feel like someone dumped a

bucket of water over me. Again, it doesn't feel like hormonal hot flashes. I

would love to know what might be causing this or if anyone else has issues that

are similar.
