Anyone know much about night sweats? I’ve had them for a few years but now it is almost every night. Environment isn’t hot and it is not my whole body, just my head; my pillow is normally soaked in the morning. Done a Google search and all the associated ailments don’t fit; I’m thinking is just idiopathic.

One of the first questions I was asked when a scan of my fractured vertebrae also revealed a form of tuberculosis, known as Mycobacterium Avium Complex= MAC, was; do you have night sweats?
Not suggesting this is your causation but indeed you may be having other metabolic problematics.
You’re probably menopausal :P

not even close to that cheeky, myself. ;)

That’s what I thought!
RB, I saw that but I consider it unlikely. Being ADF, I get regular TB shots and all my blood work has come back normal.
Are you on any medication? Any other medical conditions?
(certain types can cause nocturnal sweating).

has nothing to do with getting TB shots. It is more about the status of your immune system.

An anti-arthritis medicine (Arava) but this was happening before I was on it.

I am unaware of ERB’s HIV status, but hey, I don’t judge.

Nope. Neither coffee nor tea.

neither actually matters, as you see.
It isn’t about how you treat your body as much as to how your body is equipped to deal.
As to night sweats, what do you sleep under?

However there is always the factor of quality of life.

Anything from a full doona in winter to just a sheet / nothing at all now.

All year round. Environmental conditions play no part.
I’m the same. If that means anything at all.
Are you a heavy drinker?
Menopause, low blood sugar, and fever can cause night sweats. So can certain medications, including antidepressants and steroids. If it’s just a matter of your clothing or bedroom being too warm, it’s not really the night sweats. Night sweats are unpleasant, but most of the time they’re harmless.
A more serious cause of night sweats is alcohol consumption. It can happen if you’re an alcoholic, a binge drinker, or even if you’ve only had one drink. If you’re physically dependent on alcohol, sudden withdrawal can result in night sweats. If you experience frequent night sweats due to drinking, you might have a drinking problem.

If by “idiopathic” you mean, “I am an idiot, and pathetic” I think you are being a bit hard on yourself.

Google doctoring leads to fear.
Fear leads to worry.
Worry leads to excessive google doctoring.
Nightmares will occur.
If you are really worried then see a doctor.

Hyperthyroidism
Phaeochromocytoma
Menopause (perhaps not)
Cancer (note that while Geefer had night sweats, he also had other symptoms of lymphoma, such as lymphadenopathy)
Hypoglycaemia
Autonomic neuropathy
Idiot adjusting the heater settings (ie turning it on)
Idiopathic
I’d suggest seeing your quack, and if history, exam and bloods don’t find anything, it’s WB&D time.
