Re: This and That (night sweats)

[Guest guest]

June,

My daughter has always sweated in her sleep. Since she was born. We

could always tell she was tired because her head would start to heat

up. We threw out our couch when we separated becuase it was covered

in head shaped sweat stains (I'd lay her there as an infant, and

she'd sweat right through the blanket she was on). I keep hoping she

will outgrow this, but so far, at age 4, she sweats just as much at

night (although it is worse in the summer than in winter).

I searched and found this site:

http://sleepdisorders.about.com/cs/sweats/a/hyperhidrosis_2.htm?

terms=off+night

It seems that it can be caused by other underlying conditions. Is

your doctor going to look into possible causes? If not, seek a

second opinion. I can't imagine something like this, starting all of

the sudden, is unrelated to anything else.

wet I thought my water pillow was leaking. I spoke to my GP about it

and he is sending me for blood tests today to see if something is

going on. He mentioned a couple of things, which I was not impressed

with, like Lymphoma or neoplasia and other than that he says it may

well be something I just have to live with. Hard to explain to a male

doc how important my hair is to me and waking up with wet hair pretty

well confines me to staying home. I depend on my hairdresser every

week to keep my hair looking good and this is now getting too much

when I go on Sat to get it done and wake up Sunday with totally wet,

yucky looking hair. CBC called yesterday wanting to do another

interview and I had to refuse since that was no way I would appear on

tv with ratty looking hair.
