So, I'm always full of comments but I'm hoping you guys will give me a piece of your mind on this one.
I have had nightly night sweats for the past 3 months. Sometimes I just wake up and it's a little bit of sweat and rarely it's so much that I have to change my clothes because I'm so drenched.
Here's why I'm puzzled:
-I'm not on IV's (my typical culprit for night sweats) - haven't been since October 2007
-Temperature shouldn't be an issue - I've tried sleeping with more clothes, less clothes, heater on, heater off, blah blah. So I'm not 100% convinced it's environment
-Had an OGTT last July and it came back normal. For those that have CFRD, is this a sign of CFRD that you experienced around diagnosis?
-I almost always eat right before bed because... I dunno, I'm always hungry at that time. But maybe still I'm getting hypoglycemic at night? I sometimes get hypo during the day, maybe once every two weeks, because I go too long without eating
-No temperature (I've measured so many nights and days to make sure I'm not missing a low-grade fever). Energy is great. Exercise is 45 minutes of cardio 3x a week and 30 minutes of weights 3x a week. FEV1 at 95% in December 2007
-Sputum culture - MDRPA, and like 3 other strains of PA. that's about it
-I'm satting well - but those who need O2, was night sweats something that you experienced? During the day, at rest, I'm 98-97%. While doing vigorous exercise on my elliptical for 45 minutes I'm 98-96% O2 sat.
-Never been tested for sleep apnea....could that be it? I'm not really familiar with the condition.... just trying to think of everything that it could possibly be
-I don't have other medical conditions other than CF (and allergies).
-I haven't changed any meds since they put me on Vitamin K in June 2007. Everything else is exactly the same (no switches from generic)
Anyway, now you know my entire medical history. But I would be incredibly grateful for any thoughts .... I have to figure something is up cuz this isn't normal.
