This is me exactly. I get horrible sweats; I had such a rough night last week that my husband had to help me change pajamas *four* times. And I don't mean just a little either, I'm talking soak your clothes and the sheets type of sweating.

The odd thing is that I don't get these all the time, and invariably, when I get them, they are either preceded or followed by significant all-over body aches.

I'd be really curious to know if this is from the CRPS. I had a doctor suggest lupus the other day which seriously scared me; he also suggested that I see a rheumatologist.

Right now, I'm waiting for my spinal cord stimulator implant which I'll get next month. After that, we'll see. If it's still a big issue, I will follow up with my family physician to see if I need any additional testing.

I'm glad at least to know that I'm not the only one dealing with it, but I am sorry that you have to deal with it at the same time.
