urgent! night sweats !

[fayrouz]

The past couple days my legs and butt have been sweating. my upper body and head is fine. when i wake up i realize my legs are really close together and my sheets a kind of thick. my questions are if this is considered night sweats? does your whole body have to sweat to be considered night sweats? and if you have night sweats does it occur even without sheets over you? i cant find any of these answers online any answers would be great, thanks.

I have had this happen, it is usually due to my sleeping with my legs too close and them sweating. However, it can be due to unbalanced hormones, try getting some bio-identical progesterone, this has been known to help with night sweats.

Hello & SO sorry for your discomfort. I suffered terribly from hotflashes-to the point of it ruining my life! I tried hormone replacement therapy & everything from black cohosh...to anything else you can imagine. I finally found a total help in the oddest place LOL. A friend sent me to a psychic, because she felt so bad for the decline in my life! Anyway, this psychic recommended taking turmeric powder- 1/5 of a teaspoon 3 times a week. I thought, what the heck? So, every Sunday, Tuesday & Friday I faithfully took my dose {doesn't have to be exactly 1/5-as it does not have any side effects} & OMG!!!!!!! My hotflashes went down by about 80% & were much more manageable. It takes a few weeks to get into your system, so don't think it's not working until you've at least given it 2 months or so. I'd love to hear your story after trying this...it has given me back my life. BUT, I got cocky after about a yr & stopped taking this & WHOP! I got hotflashes back like a punch in the gut! Good luck & even though it seems like it's too easy an answer, what have you got to lose? Turmeric also helps in many other problems. Please give feedback so others have luck as well.

I think this happens to me ...now that you say it. I just recently changed my biodentical progesterone, along with oral progesterone, in hopes of helping this even more. It's funny cause I don't have hotflashes, but I do consider what we were expiriencing was nite sweats.
