Guest guest Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Hi, This seems like a trivial question. It's more of a management issue. I have constant night sweats that soak my night clothes. As a result I end up freezing. I've started to wear those sleeveless men's undershirts with just the narrow straps on top. I suspect, however, that any or no clothing will matter much, since my scalp is wet. Has anyone tried the sweat wicking underwear? Do you think that it will chill me because of the wicking action? What I need is a source of instant heat when I get chilled. Does any one know of something I can grab while still in bed and semiconscious. Some sort of heating pad but not flat? I can't use an electric blanket since I'm always throwing off the bedclothes. Right now I've been using a corn bag, but that requires getting up while it heats up. Last night, I tried a hunter's pad that is liquid and turns into a very warm solid when a little button inside is clicked. I can only use it one time before having to boil it again. Age rules out menopausal hot flashes... Mepron seems to be helping, but obviously not enough. ine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I can TRULY relate. Due to lyme I lost sixty, (yes, sixty) pounds. I have three electric blankets on the bed. I used one even through summer because I am not used to being so skinny. The sweating was a problem. It can and will stop over time. Or at least it did for me. Hang in there!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Hey ine, I had this exact issue (not menopause or other hormonal wackiness) and it was babesia related. On advice of someone who has worked with Dr. Zhang, I got his Artemesia 2 and take it according to a Klinghart protocol ... it's 2x the strength of normal artemesia and I take 2 tablets, once a week and almost all the sweats are gone. I haven't soaked the bed in months!!! It can't hurt to try it (and I was skeptical too, that something I took 1x/week would work - it was a very nice surprise!) and you'll know in a few weeks time. Re: quick fix - try a heating pad you can keep in bed with you, turn on, get warm and turn it off again... I use it under my feet, on my stomach, hands, etc. I'm so sorry you're so miserable. Take care and take care of the sweats! You'll sleep so much better! Cindi 410-771-4994 O 443-980-7369 Cell [ ] chills and thrills Hi, This seems like a trivial question.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 ine, The corn bag is a good idea. Why not put the microwave on a bedside table so you can pop the corn bag in while still half asleep? Keep taking the Mepron...it can take months.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 New microwaves don't put out radiation so it is safe to stand in front of them now. Re: [ ] Re: chills and thrills > Just a bit of feedback... - this sounds like it would be a great idea and > I wouldn't suggest it. Microwaves put out radiation and most of us have > got enough issues without adding that to it on a regular basis. Nice > thought, though...
