Sweats

Has anyone every gotten the sweats from the meds?  Since I started tx, a few times a week I wake up in the middle of the night sweating.  It's even happend a few times during the day.  Are my hormones totally out of wack or what?

Sweats????It is more like a torrential downpour!!!! Any little bit of energy I exert causes major dripping. I have had this through 2 rounds of therapy-so I am sure that it is a side. It doesn't help living in FL.

Thanks for the info.  I did see the nurse practioner today for shot 3 and questioned her too.  I will be taking my temp everytime I sweat now.  Just so we know what's happening and when.  The first time around I didn't have this side either!  At least now I have a good excuse to go to Bed Bath and Beyond for more sheets!!  Thanks everyone!

My wife says its God paying me back for making fun of her when she went through the change. Mine seemed to be related to fever fluxuations. I've been keeping a thermometer by the bed and checking and when I break into a sweat there is always a temp involved. Dale

Yes, sweating is normal.  It happens to me a few times a week.  It's a normal sx so don't worry.

I had night sweats all the time during my 24 wks of treatment.
I thought I might be in early menopause. I am 42.
But after treatment, it stopped. So I beleive it is a side effect of the meds. Don't worry. God Bless

I have sweats all the time.  It is a side effect.  I'm also 50 and going thru menopause so it is hard to say which is the cause.

I didn't check for a fever cause I thought that would only happen the night of the shot or within 24 hours of it. I never thought it could happen 5/6 days after!!   I will try that next time it happens and I guess I'll know for sure.  Thanks!

Have you checked to see if you have fever?  The meds can cause fever at any time during treatment.  It could be harmonal, but anything you can take is not liver friendly and not advised.
