I am relieved to hear that someone else has the problem of excessive "sweating." I
have my hosp. room set as cold as it will go...nobody can believe I am not cold, but
if I let the nurse make it warmer, I soak through my gown and bedsheets within the
hour.
Of course, right now I have a low grade fever bec. of the Pancreatitis, but I felt
this way even before my pancreas starting acting up. And everything I seemed to read
about TM is that it can cause a lack of perspiration. At home I have to sleep on top
of one of those washable bed pads so that I can change it at least once a night. The
sweats seem worse at night...does anyone else experience this, and do you have any
tips for dealing with it? (btw, I am only 23 , so it isn;t "hot flashes" LOL
Thanks,
Mykella
P.S. I should know where I am being transferred...I will let you all know...thanks
again for all your help
