Hot feeling on and after tx

I have a side that I do not know how to classify.  I feel sort of hot all the time.  It is not like a traditional hot feeling.  It is more tingly and energetic in a bad way (awful description, but I do not know how better to put it into words).  I am at a loss as to how to describe it.  I imagine it is sort of like a permanent hot flash.  It drives me nuts.  It causes me to sweat too often and too easily, for example, while quietly sitting in air conditioned spaces.  This is one of the sides I really hope resolves eventually.  If anyone could put a label on this or, at least, share in my pain, please, indulge me.

BTW, I am about 5 weeks post tx (48 weeks on).

Thanks.

This is coming from the long-john Queen.  The winter on TX is the first in ages that I did not wear them from morn till night and it is still that way.  I used to wear carhart coveralls to go to my kennel, not anymore and I am 2 years post.

About the night sweats, the only times I have them not is from an infection, be it sinus or UTI.  I get that cleared up and I am OK even tho I am usually too hot under the covers now and I used to use an electric blanket.

I also have that hot feeling, sometimes I feel like hot flashes most of the time.

Its been 2 weeks since I finished treatment and I feel hot, whereas I have to turn on the fan above my bedroom, or my air conditioner in my car to get some relief.

I woke up in the middle of the night with night sweats, where my pajama top was wet
from sweat.

I hope it gets better also, good luck to both of us.

Anyone out there have this or night sweats?
