How do I deal with this sweat-soaked bed every night?

MAYBE HIS PROBLEM IS THE AMOUNT OF SUGAR INTAKE HE HAS DURING THE DAY. CHECK INTO IT AND CUT IT DOWN BECAUSE SUGAR WILL MAKE A PERSON SWEAT LIKE HELL AT NIGHT. IF NOT THAT, YOU CAN PURCHASE 2 FT X 2FT ABSORBANT FELT PADS THAT IS SOFT ENOUGH TO PUT UNDER THAT SHEET. YOU CAN GET THOSE AT THE LOWES STORE OR DEPOT OR MENARDS.

My sister went through this at age 37, and my 40 year old wife is beginning to show signs of peripause as well... My mother had menopause 30 years ago but still gets hot flashes and the occasional night sweats too... Try having a light carb snack just before bed. Night sweats are often associated with a drop in blood sugar (I get them all the time as a diabetic) and peripause can mess with your endocrine system, which in turn can give you passing episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Also, avoid using oils or lotions in the hours before bedtime. These trap enormous amounts of body heat and can contribute to night sweats. Try getting a small fan (like those 6" clip-on models) to keep the air in the bedroom circulating without freezing you. This helps my mom quite a bit... I have been told by a couple women that lots of good healthy orgasms will lessen peripause symptoms. I have never investigated this so don't know if there is a scientific basis for it, although i do intend to do extensive experiments with the wife here in the coming months! Thought I'd throw it out there anyway, since it can't hurt after all... Best, Ed, RN

Well

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest. Sweating helps the body stay cool. In most cases, it is perfectly natural. People sweat more in warm temperatures, when they exercise, or in response to situations that make them nervous, angry, embarrassed, or afraid.

Excessive sweating occurs without such triggers. Persons with hyperhidrosis appear to have overactive sweat glands. The uncontrollable sweating can lead to significant discomfort, both physical and emotional. When excessive sweating affects the hands, feet, and armpits, it is called primary or focal hyperhidrosis. In most cases, no cause can be found. It seems to run in families.

If the sweating occurs as a result of another medical condition, it is called secondary hyperhidrosis. The sweating may be all over the body or it may be in one area.

In both cases you'll find on this site some good tips to solve your problem: http://hyperhidrosis.toptips.org/

You can purchase pads that will absorb some of the sweat that are washable. Check out some fabric stores for larger absorbent material you'll need. If they don't have it, maybe they could order it for you.

Try some baby powder or baking soda between bottom sheet and mattress pad. It's worth a try. I don't see any reason why you couldn't wash the mattress with mild soap and water once a week. Don't soak it, just gently wash and blow dry with the fans.

Has he ever gone to the Doc for a physical to have this checked out. Maybe the Doc could do something for this problem. There's hormone therapy for women for night sweats, perhaps there's something for men. Would be worth checking out.

You and your boyfriend might not like this answer but, I had sweats really bad after my experiences in the Gulf War from PTSD. It's possible he lives some kind of trauma in his dreams and might need to see a psychologist to get to the root of his problem. If it started when he was a child and is still going on there definatly could be something he's supressing. I'm not a doctor but, I've been there and the only thing that stopped mine was a medication that masked my dreams.

This site has some products that may help but the first thing I suggest is for him to see a doctor. The sweating may be treatable /http://www.drinights.com/?OVRAW=night%20sweat%20ma...
