Night Sweats

[cuthroat]

Lol @ some of the things people do. Its a very common side effect of most AS...my solution? Crank up the AC and if you need to keep a few extra blankets nearby. I would rather be a little chilled/comfortable than drowning in my own damn sweat. Best of luck Rach

Ice water keeps keep core temps down real well. If you are getting up drink some ice water and it will help. I get seating issues and ice water (real COLD) does the trick for me.

Also, sleep in the buff and adjust the AC.

lets all remember humans evolved to sweat when overheated. so that is why you are sweating, its the bodies natural way of cooling itself down.. dogs cannot sweat, they pant when hot. when we would chase down our prey we had that advantage.

so the sweat isn't a bad thing, but lets nip the problem in the butt by staying hydrated and cool so the body doesn't have to overheat in the first place.

Thanks again for the responses - I'm one that has never liked to sleep naked and likes to be snuggled up in blankets... I do have AC, but to blast it in this condo I'm subletting is a big 2 thumbs down for the electric bill. I could use a large fan though, I think that will be my next step. (and more ice water)

night sweats are common with var. I used to run 100 mgs of var ed and used to wake up twice to change my shirt....

i wish I could hook myself up to an IV all day and night.. wouldn't that be easier then downing 2 gallons of water a day?

well I am being facetious but I wouldn't mind doing it on a hard workout day afterwards to re-hydrate myself.. does anyone know if this is even possible or how difficult it would be?

I have done this a ton of times. I'll always have a complete iv set up and 5 litters 0.9 normal saline. Running a few in over an hour or two the morning of a hangover is nothing short of amazing recovery times. I wouldn't suggest just anyone doing it though. Placing an iv is pretty tough and phlebitis is nothing fun. I'm an RN
And wifes a dr... We do them on each other whenever need be.
