Sweat all the time. Just want to find others with same problem

I don’t have that problem, but have seen people who do. A primary physician or dermatologist should be able to provide a diagnosis and treatment options. I hope you’ll get more responses about it.

My wife frequently complains about how much I sweat at night. My pillowcase is often sweat stained. Since turning 70(I am now 78), the problem has diminished. I have never had problems sleeping, though.

I have a few hot flashes during the day but often wake up soaked. My oncologist believes it's the Anastrozole I take nightly. She's prescribed clonidine twice daily. It seems to help somewhat. I believe mine is from hormones. I'm 61 so you'd think I'd be done with all that-lol. There are other medications but they didn't mix well with what I'm currently on. Wishing you the best.🌷

Hi, I am 64, and have to sleep with an oversized towel on top of my sheets. I get severe night sweats. I mean, I am literally soaked. I am post menopause, but it's unbearable. My primary gave me Clonidine as well. But, my mistake is, I take it once a day instead of 2x. So, I will try to take it 2x and see if it helps.
I seem to get them when I am in deep REM sleep mostly. I can feel the sweat as I am dreaming, and it wakes me up, just to have to change my towel, and PJ'S. It's awful. I dread sleeping simply because of the night sweats.
I am severely handicapped and mostly bedridden. Too many spinal fusions. This last one completely reconstructed my entire spine. So, I stay in bed and walk around the house the best I can.
But even when I nap during the day, I get the sweats.
I need to get to an Endocronologist for hormone replacement. I had a full hysterectomy at age 41, and know I'm missing hormones that control that. Nowadays, hormone replacement has been confirmed to not cause cancer.
Good luck to you and all that suffer this awful condition.

Hi!

I first of all want to acknowledge what a fighter you are!

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I'm so sorry that you are dealing with so much.. I am interested in the Endrocologist route. I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis which greatly affects my body.

I, personally will not do hormone replacements. My ObGyn put me on them and kept me on them after I had explained my mom died of estrogen related breast cancer. Lo and behold, my estrogen was my form of breast cancer at 61.

I will look into the new hormone replacements. If I had to choose I will have night sweats rather than fighting the fight again. I wish you the very best. Please let me know about the hormone replacement. It would be so nice to wake up warm and cozy. Best wishes🌷
