I’m officially 13 and I just got a transplant about a week ago! I’ve been having HORRIBLE night sweats(waking up completely soaked when wearing a gown and no blankets) leaving me with no sleep at night. They only happen at night! It’s very annoying and I hope this doesn’t go on for long 🙁

Hi @lilhatter and welcome to the Transplant group on Connect. Congrats on the successful transplant. Did you have a kidney transplant? Reading through the past messages in this discussion, I see that many things can contribute to night sweats from menopause to blood pressure medications to the immunosuppressants. Given that you are 13 years old, I'm guessing the first 2 causes can be ruled out. 🙂 Have you asked your doctor about the night sweats and the side effects of immunosuppressants?

I really hope that this side effect is temporary. Do you get the sweats when you sleep during the day?

@lilhatter, I want to check in with you this morning. Have your horrible night sweating become any less horrible? I hope that as your medications become adjusted to your individual needs, that you will feel some relief.

Lilhatter, I have been living with my 'new' kidney for 10 years. At a month post transplant, How are you and your kidney getting along?
