IT HAS BEEN COLD IN OH THESE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, SO I SLEEP WITH FLANNEL PAJAMAS AND SOCKS AND A ELECTRIC THROW, WELL YOU KNOW WHAT HEAT DOES FOR OUR MS, WELL I GOT UP TO GO PEE ABOUT 3AM AND AS I SAT DOWN ON THE TOILET, I FELL OFF, RIGHT INTO THE CABINET BESIDE ME. WELL THAT WOKE ME UP AND I HAD A HELLOF A TIME TO GET BACK ON,SO I LAID THERE AND WAITED FOR MY BODY TO COOL DOWN, THEN I CRAWLED TO THE TOILET AND WENT THEN CRAWLED TO BED..... I HAVE TO SAY, THE BRUISES THAT I HAVE ARE ALL FROM STUPID THINGS THAT COME FROM MY MS. I SLEEP SO MUCH BETTER WHEN IM NICE AND TOASTY, BUT I HAVE TO PULL THE BLANKETS OFF ME AND COOL DOWN BEFORE I GET UP AND WALK, ANY ONE ELSE LIKE THIS CLUMSY OR JUST ME.......

I sleep with my DH and a heating pad. Summer nighty and yes is snowing. I'm cold when first going to bed but by morning all the blankets are off. Yes I can understand what your saying. One minute cold next sweating. Complained to Dr I feel like I'm in menopause! It was suggested to take evening primose oil. Still no relief. Good Luck finding your niche to this problem!

ahhh I am going thru this as well, go to bed cold and waking up sweating from the blankets and DH. But I do try to be careful getting up as I have had very nasty falls from this myself. I know I must be insane as I want an electric blanket to warm the bed b4 I get in ;) and then turn it off so I do overheat but with hubby's natural body heat heating the bed...I don't know if thats a good idea.

same problem here..
I love to fall asleep all bundled up under me blakets (except for my feet of course} but I almost always wake up soking wet... this dosnt matter if it night sleeping or mid day naps. by the way I have also tryed to sleep with just a sheet to see if it would help with my night sweats and no luck.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
