Hello. i am having similar symptoms. Are you getting better now? Grace x
Have no idea but I just had my first lap surgery several days ago and have been fighting with temps up and down, freezing but sweating horribly most of the time. I'm still on the pain meds. We are worried about infection? Is this a possibility? RE doesn't think its that emergent to see us earlier than 2 week follow up. Thx and yes the other responses were of help to.
hello
did you find your answers to your night sweats issues?
i also have night sweats.
i started to get night sweats after laparoscopy.(diagnosed with endo at that time)
like you, the docs i've been to have no idea why i'm getting night sweats.
i'm thinking it's hormone related.
b/c when i take birth control pills, my night sweats are lessened.
at first i thought it was infection related? but i heard fever has to accompany night sweats to be an infection. correct me if i'm wrong.
Thank you! I had the night sweats and clamminess though before any Lupron injections or any medicine... I started having them shortly before I was even diagnosed with endometriosis. I have had my thyroid tested by more than one doctor but they found nothing. Could there be something those tests could miss?
You can have night sweats with Lupron. I was on the monthly injection and I got night sweats. Also are you on add-back that will help with the side effects of being put in instant chemical menopause.

PS Definitely look into the thyroid get your TSH, Free T3 and T4,, and thyroid antibodies checked. Also be sure to get the results and do not take it's in range because most labs don't have the correct range.
Sounds more like thyroid to me. Has your doctor done a full panel thyroid test yet? I used to have night sweats, be easily overheated or cold during the day, could barely stay awake. Those all went away with thyroid medication. Extreme thirst can also be a symptom of thyroid problems. Getting up to pee in the night-- I thought that was normal but learned from my sleep doctor that is was connected to my sleep apnea. I use a c-pap machine now and the only time I get up to pee in the night anymore is if my kids wake me enough for me to think about it. Good luck and God bless!

Hello,
Thanks for your response! I actually did have the night sweats before the Lupron or any treatment... I actually started having them around the time I started having issues that led to my diagnosis of Endometriosis. The clamminess and sweats did only get worse though with the Lupron. As far as the interstitial cystitis goes, that is what I thought it was too! Considering, it is knows as the "evil twin" of Endo. I actually ended up going to a Urologist and and he performed a Cystoscope on me. He said he did not find much swelling of the bladder and ended up just stretching my bladder because it was smaller. It has been about a year since that surgery, and I am still having the same exact bladder problems. I am wondering if I still do have IC although there wasn't much swelling? I have an appointment with my Urologist this week, (follow up from Cystoscope) and if he says I do not have IC still, I might try to get a second opinion...just hoping that all of these symptoms are from one of those two. My worry is that the doctors are missing something since the clamminess and sweats are not supposed to occur with endometriosis...(without Lupron, etc) I find it odd though that the sweating has nothing to do with Endometriosis since it is affecting the hormones, correct? I am not quite sure, but I just want to feel well again.
Did you have the night sweats before Lupron? Also are you on add-back with your Lupron?
As far as the bladder issues it could be from the endo or you have intersticial cystitis.
I hope this helps,
