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!
