> Hi. I think it might be helpful to begin keeping track of the night sweats. Get a little calendar and make note of when you have them, and also make a note of anything that might possibly affect them, such as medicines, medicine withdrawal, vitamins and other supplements, foods that aren't in your usual diet, etc. After a few months, check to see whether you can see a pattern. For example, as I mentioned, I get them in the week or so before my period. And although I haven't gotten them mid-cycle yet, I often feel worse mid-cycle than I do when I'm premenstrual.
>Thats a good idea
> You said that you aren't on any medicines now. Have you recently withdrawn from any medicines, such as antidepressants? Sometimes medication withdrawal can cause symptoms for weeks or months.
>
Wow really! I haven't recently gone off anything but Im going to start tracking it.> I hope you start sleeping better very soon.
thanks :)
