Hello Dana,

Thank you for the info. about phenols. Is the web address correct?

I can't get to it, but it may be my server. I did get to another

site, as a test.

I think phenols are a main issue for my son, from what I've read on

this forum, and from the Enzymes and Autism book. We are just

starting, and will visit a DAN doctor next week. I want to have him

tested for everything, because I'm too overwhelmed with inappropriate

schooling issues, to do elimination trials myself.

We've had him on XYMOGEN PanXyme ph, probiotics, and epsom salt baths

for about 2 mths, and my husband and I both noticed a decrease in

night sweats, growth of sub-cutaneous fat pads at his waist, and less

gastric reflex (spasms) at dinner time, (which usually send him to

the bathroom 2-3 times per meal.

I ordered Houston No-Fenal, and Zyme Prime, with the plan to use

those with the Dairy Care, Lactobacilius Acidophilus cultures. I

would discontinue the PanXyme. Should I have ordered the protease or

something else from Houston, to use with Zyme Prime?

Thank you for helping me.

The server where my site is hosted, was down for almost 3 days. It is

back up now.

No-Fenol is good for the fruits and other high phenol foods. Zyme

Prime is good. If he eats gluten, casein, or soy, consider the

Peptizyde or AFP Peptizyde also.

A piece of research I read suggested that autistic kids might have

something wrong with their body temperature control. Sorry I can't give

a reference it was brain research. I remembered it because my NT husband

and daughter both have very high body temperatures. They almost glow in

the dark naturally and my husband can sweat buckets in bed if slightly

too hot. I wondered if a poor ability to bring down temperature might

have caused a fever which contributed to my other daughter's autism.

Maybe let your child sleep cooler. Open a window etc

My daughter has this as a function of mercury toxicity, which was

caused by her vaccines. She was diagnosed with thermoregulatory

dysfunction (the official name for when your body doesn't regulate its

temperature very well.) It's a combination of hormonal and

neurological factors caused by her mercury exposure.

Most flu shots contain 25 mcg of thimerasol, which is the same amount

in the DtaP that gave my daughter autistic in the first place. There

has never been any mandate to remove mercury from flu shots, and it is

still routinely injected into pregnant women and children in the form

of the flu shot.

Earlier this fall I stopped a Dept. of Health worker on her way into a

church to administer free flu shots and handed her a flyer about

mercury in flu shots put out by the National Autism Association, and

asked her if she knew that if she administered it to pregnant women or

children they could get autism. She told me to call someone in their

public relations department.

For my kids, this was caused by metal toxicity, probably because the

metals interfered with the correct functioning of the thyroid.

Chelation and several supplements, many of which also address thyroid

issues, eliminated this problem.

Probably.

Night sweats are usually caused by the body trying to detox from

something it encountered during the day that it did not tolerate. The

good news, is that her body is trying to detox on its own. The bad

news, is that something she encountered [probably that sucker without

enzymes] was causing problems for her.

Congrats on her improvements!

I would also consider a hormonal component at work here. When older women go

through menapause they get night sweats. Theres plenty of " talk " out there

about

toxcicity interfering with hormones and their release (or lack thereof). And

girls are

getting their periods younger and younger now (for a variety of reasons)

Just thought I'd throw another idea out there....

I don't know if it is common but I have had them.

Are you on prednisone? Or an antidepressant?

Hi everyone!

I may have asked this question before but I was wondering if night

sweats are common with RA? I know its common to have them when one is

sick or fighting an infection. The past few nights I have woken up

and my hair is soaked like I just came out of the shower! My OB/GYN

tested me for early menopause and checked my hormones a few months ago

because this has been a symptom for quite awhile now. I haven't

noticed it being as bad though again until the past few nights.

November 15, 2007

Hi joy!

I take Prednisone off and on (10mgs usually for 30 to

40 days but each of the 10 days they taper them down

to wean me off of them) I did take Cymbalta for

neuropathic pain but at the dose it was recommended

for FMS 120mgs worked great for a year and then all of

a sudden my mood plummeted. I now take Effexor.

Maybe that is doing it.

Some meds do have side effects that can make you sweat.

But I would mention it to your doc. When I did she had me go for

chest xray and it was all o.k.

I thought it may be menapause sneaking up too but I am 43 and you are probably

a lot

younger.

I have night sweats mainly because of menopause, but I remember

something about Folic acid could cause it too, I think.

,

I would report your night sweats to both your GP/internist and

rheumatologist. They can occur for many reasons, but it's best to let

them know.

Luckily I just had a chest xray done a bit ago to rule

out pneumonia and to help diagnose the bronchitis. It

was okay, and I just had an echocardiogram at the

cardiologist and that was ok too. I will just keep

writing it in my symptoms journal and keep reporting

it to the PCP and the rheumatologist!! Thank you all

for your advice:)

I used to get night sweats quite often and also migraines. Once they

diagnosed my diabetes and I got the numbers under control, both

stopped. I may get a headache once in awhile yet but nothing like I

did have in the past. I get hot flashes from chemo induced menopause,

but no sweating. Have your doctor check you out for these as they can

be symptoms of a more serious disease.

Is that 100 or 200mg of Depo?

Night Sweats

I take 1cc of depo test a week with .1mil of HCG daily...I sweat a lot,

especially at night...pillow and chest area get really wet...I've tried

arimidex without a lot of luck...anyony know what causes this?...have

some fatigue still as well.

August 19, 2008

Tell me what your labs say doing 1cc of depo if it's 200mgs./ml. this is a dam

big shot 200mgs a week and .1ml or 100 IU's a day of HCG is going to drive up

your Estradiol so fast I don't think you can keep it down doing 1mg a day of

Arimidex. I need a higher dose of Depo T so to keep my Estradiol down I do my

shot every 3 days shooting 70mgs each time and I do 400 IU's of HCG the 2 days

each in between my T shots. Doing this keeps me at about 800 Total T using

Quest labs. So all I need to keep my Estradiol down is .25mgs of arimidex every

3 days.

Night sweats are usually associated with high estradiol. If you are overloading

on testosterone, your body converts the excess via aromatase to estradiol. Most

of us that take shots usually have to take something like arimidex to prevent

the conversion of T to E2. Another symptom for me is I get emotional when my E2

gets high and no nocturnal erections.

it is 100...normal starting dose.

August 22, 2008

If my T:E2 ratio is below 15:1, I get the night sweats.

Too high E2 & too low E2.

I agree - If I let my E2 creep up - stop taking arimidex for a while - I get

anxious, emotional, can't sleep and night sweats - My wife and I are at the age

where we both have the same symptoms - isn't that great!! Use to we had to

change the sheets for other reasons than sweat!!!!

Yes! My daughter will also be 3 in April. It would be so nice if we could use a

weighted blanket with her for sensory issues but there is no way - she gets so

hot at night. We have an upcoming appt with children's sllep clinic to see if

she needs a sleep study or sleep deprived EEG to make sure nothing is happening

(seizures) in her sleep.

I'm rather new to the group. My son will be 3 at the end of April. He

has been in speech therapy for just about a year now and has had two

speech therapists over that period who both feel strongly that he has

verbal apraxia. I agree with their assesment as well. In fact, as

soon as I read about apraxia over a year ago, I knew. He is scheduled

to be seen by a pediatric neurologist in a few weeks. Anyway, my

question to the group - Does anyone's child have night sweats? My son

sweats prefusely at night and usually his head soaks the pillow. I

mentioned it to my pediatrian but she blew it off. I am starting to

think it my be related to the apraxia somehow. Any thoughts or

experiences would be appreicated.

Thanks,

Michele

Has he been checked for diabeties? ?My husbands pillow is always wet after

his blood sugars get out of control. My daughter with apraxia never had

night sweats. But did have hot hands / feet and crave water. We found it to

be caused by anxiety. this kept the neurologists and endocrinologists

guessing but after we switched our daughter off carbatrol to depakote for

seizures we noticed the diminished anxiety and no more hot hands etc. .Good

luck and I hope you get some answers!!
