Heidi,

It might be worth it to stay in the hospita overnight to show them how

bad the night sweats are. And maybe they'll have some clue as to what's

causing them. I hope you are having some pain free days, I know the

antioxidants are helping me too. I went off them for a while and then

restarted them and couldn't believe the difference. I was barely awake

at anytime and in a lot more pain when I had gone off them. As long as I

take the antioxidants (the vitamin C in particular), I'm able to stay

awake for at least most of the day (though I still tend to fall asleep

on the computer and while reading).

Kimber,

Maybe your right about going in for an overnight hospital stay.

But if it's anything like my last hospital stay, I don't know what

good it will do. I never got one night's worth of sleep last

time...(smile)! Too much noise and people moving around!!

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi,

I can certainly understand the no rest during a hospital. Because we are

both diabetic, we get to be woken up every 4 hours for blood sticks.

Really makes it difficult to get any rest. I have to usually do that

after I get home. Going into the hospital is always a two-edged sword.

Sometimes it's good (too get the pain in control and document your

problems) and sometimes it's bad (no good pain meds, bad doctor, no

rest, etc). Hope you have pain free days ahead of you.

Hey Heidi girl !

remember at the symposium you and I talked about getting your thyroid checked

due to your night sweats and hair loss ? Did you have your blood drawn to check

your thyroid ?

An update re: burn-out and night sweats

My follow-up appointment was yesterday and I just wanted to

report that the labs that were taken when I was having my last

psducocyst flare-up were: amylase 42, and lipase 30. This is

the first confirmation of very low A & L readings since my

pancreas burn-out.

I have to go back in two weeks for yet another lab test, another

CBC, an IGE and a GMP. I need to look up the last two tests to

see what they actually are. My GI and Internal Medicine doctor is

still trying to uncover the cause of my nightly horrendous night

sweats. He's threatening now to admit me into the hospital

overnight with an Endo and an Infectious Disease Specialist to

get to the bottom of this, since it's been causing me so much

sleep deprivation that I'm falling asleep anywhere and

everywhere at the drop of a hat.....I even fell asleep in his

examining room yesterday while waiting for him.

That's really all my news. I've been having a bit of a rough few

days with some pain, but nothing that my meds can't handle. I

ran out of antioxidants last week and am waiting on my reorder,

which should arrive today. My increase in pain seems to

coincide with the failure to take the daily pancreatic antioxidants,

so that strengthens my belief that they're working for me.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
