New thing happening... does anyone else have this?

[NotTooLate]

For some time I wake up sweeting a lot. I can feel it running down my arms and my tshirts and bottems soaking. But I am very cold!

The heating turned down, but still the same. Change the quilt but still the same.

Does anyone have this happen to them?

This happen to my mum. It was as if she was going through the menopause, but at 90 years old she passed that decades ago! The doctor said that there was a part of the brain that regulates temperature and often with dementia this part doesnt work very well. She just had to change her PJs a lot!

It used to happen to my wife, it was put down to the part of the brain that controls temperature being damaged.

It can also be caused by other things so it would be best to mention it to your GP

It happens to my wife quite often. Her perception of temperature has become quite different to mine - we were very similar in the past. The GP put her back on menopause meds but they made no difference so, with his agreement, I'm now weaning her back off that medication. I too get the impression that it's just a result of changes in the brain, however, I would also suggest consulting a GP with what may be a medical problem.

OH used to say things were wet, but they were just cold. So overnight clothes put on radiator, just to make sure they were warm for the morning!i

My OH does occasionally get this. Can only suggest pure cotton pyjamas/sheets or some of the wicking pyjamas (think they are bamboo) but very expensive.

Hi, this happens to me too. It's horrible! I haven't now thought it could be medication related but now not so sure. I'm 60 and had the menopause in my late thirties so it's not that with me either.

Hiya

Yes I get this lots.
My usually excellent GP had no idea what caused it so posts on here are useful.
The sheets and pjs have to be changed daily...pain as I cant do it due to a stroke and my wife is struggling with chemo.
I often get sweats in early evening too..ends up with day clothes being wet. This while my wife says its cold. I feel cold too.
Thermostat is set at 20!

yes but keeping at same temp is hard if your body warm and you have arms out it triggers the sweat it sensitive to say the least

Yes this happens to me too. Wake up drenched some mornings.

hello @confab22
a warm welcome to TP
I was curious so tried an internet search and came across this site - though I have no idea how useful the info is

and I appreciate kylie sheets are to help with incontinence, but wonder if their wicking effect would help with night sweats too
