night sweat and sjogrens
I have had sjogrens for many years and have been doing very well. I have been awakening at 3 every morning with nights sweats (I am on HRT)...not drenching, no fever. Recent blood work showed normal LFT's and normal lymphocytes. MY hematocrit is 37.4. I feel well otherwise. I do get some submandimular swelling of nodes associated with my dry mouth. Should I be concerned. Can all lymph nodes swell at once or it is just a few? Thanks...
Thanks for helping.....I was also concerned about the night sweats...pretty consistent between 3 and 5 am. Helen
Hi.
If you are thinking that this is lymphoma, then it may be somewhat unlikely. Your submandibular nodes can indeed react from minute infections in your oral cavity brought about by the dryness (dry mucosa are at high risk of developing infections due to superficial cracking).
However, if the nodes progressively enlarges or persists, then this may need additional evaluation by your doctor.
Regards and God bless.
