I have started suffering from night sweats. I had a virus about a month ago, it started around the same time. I put it down to this. But now the virus has gone, I an still suffering from the problem. We have no heating on in the bedroom, I just wake up wet through. Last night I had to change the bed, Later on the same thing happened again... Two wet quilts and sheets.
I have an appointment to see the quack but not for another 10 days. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem?

I suffer from these sometimes. Il go through periods of time where I dont sleep well, and night sweats usually acompany.

Havent a clue what it could be. Subconsciously nervous about something perhaps, though I cant think what on earth I'd have to be nervous about. Who knows...

I had this once a couple of years back with a dose of real flu, but it is indeed a symptom of leukemia, so go straight to the doctor and don't pass go.

+1 for me as well. Last couple / 3 weeks I've been waking up dripping with sweat.
The other night I could actually wring my boxers out :S

You diabetic meagain?

Night sweats are associated with hypoglycaemia.

EFA for spaz-hands.

let us know if the doctor has anything to add.

i get them from time to time and they are bloody annoying and the OH hates it. not a clue re: the cause so would be interesting to hear back.
