Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 --- Yes! I have had bad nights sweats for three years now. My Dr gave me a chest x-ray to rule out TB and checked my hormones. They were normal. The reason I get the night sweats is that I have dysautonomia (Autonomic dysfunction) I hope this info helps. Cold and sweaty nights are very unpleasant. Dawn In , Larus1@a... wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I have a quick question: > > I have been having night sweats more and more recently.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Yes, I have had them for about a year now, they go in streaks--have them for about 2 weeks and then do not. I do not know if it is due to melas or menopause. I am 42 but have now idea when my mother went thru it as she died when she was 48. So, it could be do to mito or other things.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 I too have intermittant problems with night sweats- horrible. I didn't relate them to my temperature regulation difficulties, more with being of meopausal age.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Last night, early morning, I awoke to find my sheets and pillow drenched. For, me as a Type I diabetic, this had always been attributed to a very low nighttime low-blood sugar (too much insulin). Sweating is a very common reaction to this, although other symptoms of low bloodsugar are more common for me. A year ago, I did wake up a few times with sweats and ate some candy, assuming this is what it was. However, I realized it was different than other sweating/low-sugar episides. This time I actually felt quite hot. This is what started me to presue thyroid as a possible cause, but that was ruled out. By the way, my diagnosis is a more generic " Myopathy with Tubular Aggregates " - I think this means there is evidence something is wrong, but they don't know what it is.
