Does anyone else roast at night?
 

its been a wild hot ride. Long before I was dxd with MS, I was always able to heat up quickly at night. When on interferons I ROASTED and would sweat buckets at night. Found my LFTs were way way high. I was kicked off interferons, and rolled over to Copaxone, but still the heat wave continues. Dead of winter, middle of summer, it doesnt matter. The warmer the room, the worse my own heat wave, but it doesnt matter if we are buried in snow, I am still ultra warm at night. I spoke to my brother about it, and he reminded me I did this as a kid. When we all shared a bed he said he hated to have to sleep next to me as a lil kid cause I would get so hot at night. :eek:

Does anyone else get VERY warm at night? Is this an MS trait? Just a weird thing that only I do? I cant imagine I am the only one. Since starting MS meds, it has made it 10 times worse, and it was something I had just grown accustomed to since I had done it so long, but since starting meds. WOO! I am my own heat source at night. :(

Btw, my LFTs are all normal range, along with all my other profiles.

Anybody else? :confused::o

Roaster here too!

I wake up in sweats all the time! I am hoping it's from menopause, because it's TIME! I don't know if I am having hot flashes or not. I get all heated up at work, but the night sweats drive me nuts- blankets on/blankets off/blankets on/blankets off!!

(i am 22 days late today, and shaking all my bells and bones and charms and yelling out on my lawn "COME ON MENOPAUSE!!!")

roaster here! We have a ceiling fan over our bed that gets a lot of use. hubby and I made a compromise about having the ceiling fan on at night. It's easier for him to bundle up :)

I hear ya! I'm doing the menopause dance, too. Can't happen soon enough for me!

Usually I'm too warm versus too cool.....even in the winter. And I can't stand to be too warm when I'm trying to sleep. Since I'm the only one in my bed (besides the cats but they don't get a vote in this) I can regulate the ceiling fan and blankets to my liking. My DH used to always be warm, too. He had to have the fan running year round and the A/C set on about 68 during the summer....so I was accustomed to the house being cool. Maybe that's why I'm warm when others are comfortable. :confused:

When I first saw this, I thought you meant roasting a roast at night. I was going to pop in and say, I'd be up all night waiting for it to get done enough to eat...Yummmmmm....LOL

As far as roasting at night...no...I sleep under a bankie in the A/C. Already been through the change..:D

With split shifts, and busy lives, and a fx back I long ago gave hubby his own room. He can stay up as long as he wants watching shootumup stuff, or the history channel till dawn if he likes, so its just me to roast in the bed. I LOVE having the AC on full blast, so I can chuck a blankie on me. I am much more comfie having a blankie than not being covered, so I gravitate towards covering up. Even the kitties wont stay with me. too warm. Once I am awake, and going, I fall right into the normal range of body temp, but at night, I get roasted.


mmmmpotroast. now I am hungry! :p

I roast at night, too, but I don't think it's from the C...I've been this way for a while. My MIL used to be like me, and they attributed it to high blood pressure...hmmm.

I'm a roaster, and before my dx I thought maybe I was going through early menopause. My mom was going through it, and we felt the same.

It seems to be getting worse too. I keep the bedroom very cold. Husband gets a little peeved when I keep the windows open when its 40 degrees out, but I need it to be cold. My husband and I only sleep together for 3-4 hours most nights, because our work schedules are so different. He's been saying lately then when he gets in bed, he can feel heat radiating from me before he's under the blankets. He says its like sleeping next to a furnace, and there have been several nights lately where he couldn't fall asleep at all until I woke up and got out of bed. That makes me feel terrible, because I don't want him having sleep problems! I told him that maybe we could get separate beds, but he refuses.

This is a very annoying MS thing. I hate waking up in a pool of sweat, having a billion sets of sheets, and causing husband to lose sleep. This will be my third summer with MS, and I'm learning new ways to keep cool, so I'm hoping, no, I know, that this will get better for me. :)

That is EXACTLY what mine says. "its like sleeping next to the furnace!"

I had a complete hyst many years ago, so its not menopause, and I have been this way for many years, long before MS, or interferons, and copaxone. I am surprised to see how many others are saying the same thing. I wonder if the increased body temp has to do with the MS or if the increased body temp is just a whole different egg? :confused:

I feel like I radiate heat. I do get night sweats, but not every night. Most of the time, I just feel like someone cranked up my thermostat. its so hard to deal with. When the hubby watches TV in bed with me, or wakes me early the next morning, he says "WOW, feel the heat crank off you!" I thought I was going to be the only one.

Yep -- roasting here in Illinois too. I have the ceiling fan going and the ac set at 68. I swear my bedroom does not get as cool as the rest of the house!

Nope!

I'm actually the opposite, always freezing cold. Even in the summer (right now, no fans, no A/C.. finger tips are cold as ice).

I layer up and sleep with fleece sheets/multiple comforters.

When the weather gets hot and humid, I do get warm, but my fingers/toes consistently remain cold.

I get way too hot at night. The ceiling fan is always on. But when my dear sweet hubby (notice the sarcasm) turns his heated mattress and blanket on HIGH it really really infuriates me. This happens all year long too! I spend the night sleeping without covers.

you guys crack me up. All of these empty tummies, and great appetites. Now I have to make a roast! thanks!:p

I cook at night too (I don't always sweat, but I usually roast). My fiance calls me his little space heater. :p I also have been finding that I feel like I radiate heat a lot of other times as well. Like what I'd imagine a hot flash to feel like, but I'm only 32. Because my flare-ups have been minor so far (numbness, tingling, dizziness), I don't get bad pseudo-exaserbations in the hot weather...but this summer I started getting fatigued and sooooooooooo darn HOT when I'm outside that I just can't stand it. I live in Texas, so this is going to be a problem. :eek:

I used to freeze all the time, now I'm burning up all night. But I think it is menopaus. My sis is jealous cuz I'm younger and doing it first. If only she knew what fun it is lol.

:o

:eek: Are ya prego River? :eek::D

By the way...I freeze to death and have to wear sweats and socks!:D

Seriously ROFL!!!

But yeah, part of the freezing to death club here. Let's snuggle up close in my igloo :hug:

I had the AC on last night, and a thin blankie on me. I woke up with the cat shivering and me roasting. Its like laying next to a furnace. I was burning up next to a full blast AC! :eek:

Maybe I can take the roast to be with me at night, and it will be fully cooked in the am. whaddya think? :D

Here is a website that has products to help cool you down.

I got the chillow and it works really well to keep me cool in the summer.

I'm getting hungry for one of my Mom's Pot Roasts..:p:p:p

I too am roasting hot at night, and have been told over and over through the years that I am like a radiator to sleep next to.

I had the AC on full blast and I still woke up sweating! good grief! what does a girl need to do to get some sleep at night?

Dejibo, if you find the answer, please let me know!! I too am waking up through the night sweating, with a window AC blowing right at my face! What the heck? I think my body could heat the entire state of Alaska!

Found a paper titled "Periodic hyperthermia and abnormal circadian temperature rhythm in a patient with multiple sclerosis" that looks interesting, and many other MS patients seem to have this same experience ...

Can I answer both? LOL

I usually wear sweats and socks to bed. Most nights I start out freezing with chills, almost like I have fever chills, but my temp is actually a few degrees below normal during this time. Of course I pile on extra blankets just so I can warm up and fall asleep. Sometime during the night my body heater kicks in and I wake up in a pool of sweat. This has happened pretty much every night since my initial exacerbation.

Can you quote your source, or give up a link? I am so tired of this.

Thanks

Just google the title, Dej:

Now, the real reason for my post is that every time I see the title of your thread, I think, "Well, it depends on the size and cut of the meat." :o

Dej, I wonder if this has anything to do with menopause. Or peri menopause? I'm 48.....not sure how old everyone else here is who posted that they get hot at night. I'm not hot all the time. Sometimes it's at night when I'm trying to sleep. Other times it's during the day. I think we're all within 7-10 years of each other give or take. :confused:

I had a surgical menopause many many years ago, but even in my teens, I roasted at night. I have always had a temp issue. My normal body temp runs a full degree low, until I fall asleep, and then I can be clocked at 102 on bad nights.

Sorry, this board's rules don't allow me to include hyperlinks yet or I certainly would.

Hang tight, Zap, you're almost there.
