probably TMI please disregard

Depends on what one would consider tmi. For me, nothing is really tmi..... Is that tmi? Ok, anyway, it definitely sounds like she is the caregiver from hell. Who says that to someone? That's just mean. I'd try to consider the source and try not to let it bother you, but sorry you're so worried about it and that she said that you. Maybe she needs to take a shower lol.

Again what I am about to say is TMI but we are all friends here.

Loddy, I have hot flashes during the night AND night terrors make me wake up covered with sweat and shivering. Double whammy.

Hot flash sweat is what I call "clean" sweat. It's just like water pouring out of my body.

Nervous or frightened sweat - Let's just say I don't call it "clean" sweat. It's not like water but more oily and it honestly has a different odor. TMI - TMI - TMI. Why is this so embarrassing for us?

What I'm trying to say is, with a hot flash I can dry myself with a paper towel and be good to go.

Nervous sweat can not be wiped away. It takes a full shower and a shampoo because my hair can have that nervous sweaty smell.

The caregiver? Some people are not equipped to handle delicate subjects with tact. Maybe she is like the bull in the china shop.

I bet this caregiver thinks she smells like roses when she wakes up. Maybe she should consider getting another profession since she has terrible people skills? Don't let what she said give you a complex, IMO she's not even worth a second thought.

thanx ladies,hugs all around

Loddy , also note, some meds cause a musty body odor , not so much as stinky , as musty

I wouldn't worry about it Loddy. As long as you take regular showers and have a good deodorant you'll be ok. Perhaps your clothes picked up a scent, I have that happen a lot and I'm not aware of it. Make sure your clothes are washed regularly.
Don't get brought down by that bitch. She might be having a really bad day....or week...or maybe she's just a pain in the butt type person.

thank you for your support

Big hug for you sweetie.. I agree with the others we all sweat sometimes... Night sweats were a part of my regular night for a long time....xo

I bought a spray bottle of Fabric Freshener .... if I only wear a shirt for a little while, I'll spritz on the fabric freshener,and then re-hang it up, it really helps and keeps my laundry duties down to a minimum

You should've told her she was smelling her upper lip!!lol!
