HELLO THERE! YES I DO LIKE EXPLANATION POINTS! GOTTA BE ME! I TOO HAVE EXPERIENCED SWEATING...I CAN BE TOTALLY COLD AND STILL SWEAT! RHONDA! SEE I DO LIKE EXPLANATION POINTS! GOTTA LAUGH! IT IS BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE!(RHONDINGER)

Hi,
I have had sweats aswell. The one that sticks out most is for about two weeks, maybe less, I had sweats from the neck up to the point of soaking one side of the pillow and the rest of my body was dry. I have other sweats where I have covers on my uper body while my legs have no covers and only my legs are sweating.

I also have night sweats, and my whole overall temp. regulation is out of wack. It's 80 degrees here in Fla, and I sleep in wool socks, 2 sweatshirts and sweatpants because I'm freezing with the chills. Then I wake up with night sweats, and peel off the layers, and then I'm cold again. I go back and forth from hot to cold and sometimes fever to chills.

I seem to be going back and.forth too! My wife was just laughing because I was using a blanket while sitting here watching tv. I noticed last hunting season, dad noticed too, I didn't handle the cool weather very well. So now I don't handle cold or heat, lol. Weird! I also wanted to mention that if I get some burning and tingling in my right thigh, I will lightly rub or scratch it and I feel it in my back.

I do this too!! My husband & sons make fun of me because I'm walking around the house in shorts...wrapped up in blankets... knowing that I'm going to be throwing off those blankets in about 5-30 minutes (varies)...because I'll be sweating! Then...I'm so hot, I have go outside in 30 degree weather just to cool off (if winter of course)...in shorts! It's insane & is one of my most ANNOYING symptoms!!!...because I have such a hard time regulating my clothing wear, outside temp. & having it affect others! I drive my husband crazy with the on-&-off sheets/blankets at night! I have to change sheets often due to night sweats. And NO...this is NOT Menopause...as I went through all that crap 20 yrs ago...with "instant" menopause (total hysterectomy)!

Matz...I had this problem too...in addition to being "Heat Intolerant!" I started noticing, that right after my total hysterectomy (all bodily hormones were instantaneoulsy thrown into utter CHAOS!)...that I could no longer sweat...not even with the Flu & 104 temp!! I lived/live in Oklahoma...where it often gets over 100 degrees in the summer! NOPE...that didn't do it either! I didn't EVER sweat again...until about 4 yrs ago...when all my MS symptoms started...that I started sweating again. I remember, bc I had come down with a bad case of the Flu (confirmed by a lab test) during this time...sending my symptoms through the roof...& I had noticed that for the 1st time, in almost 20 yrs..I WAS SWEATING!! I've been having these COLD, SHIVERING/HOT, SWEATING SPELLS ever since...only, they are gradually getting worse with time (were mild at 1st).

I've often wondered if going all these years, not sweating, has done something "permanent" to my internal temp system?? I kept asking docs about it...but they just kept "blowing me off!" I'm SOOOOO SICK of Doctors & their unsympathetic cold shoulders...trying to blame EVERYTHING on STRESS & ANXIETY!!! REALLY??? COME ON DOCS...GET REAL!!!!!!!!

(OK...SORRY...guess I'm through ranting for now!) {[hugs}}
