I have horrible night sweats where my body is drenched in sweat. Does anyone else experience this and is there a way to prevent them?

When I was first diagnosed 7 years ago I had light sweating. Now, since my recent flare which I’m still in, I feel you…so will wake up short entirely soaked along with my pillow, and sheets and then I immediately get cold with no cover on and it won’t even be cold in the room. I just assumed it was from all my meds I’m on especially prednisone

I do. But I have noticed it's when I'm in a flare. Only last a few days, but it's annoying to wake up wet & then cold.

Yes i do. My gyn prescribed estradiol patches and they have helped tremendously with the night sweats. And the fan on at night is a must

On the plus side, that did go away for me. Occasionally I will have ot happen but mild compared to before.
