7 Causes of Leukemia Fatigue and 4 Ways To Manage It Read Article...

Yes, I also have occasional night sweats . They seem different alright. No fever but feel cold rather than overly warm. Sometimes a little nausea also. Not terribly uncomfortable so far.

I have this too, but when talking-to my primary Dr and he said it was menopause. But I am 73 yrs old! I reminded him of this, and he said very calmy" That can still happen" Well, I do not buy this really. But I will go along. But at the end of next month will see the Hematologist/Oncologist and will ask him too, I guess? Do not have it all the time, but still it is upsetting and thought something could help? I read once that Satin (Or Satin -like perhaps?) pillowcases help, but they may be expensive? Not sure if this is true or not? If it keeps one that cool, for sure I do not know, but might be worth a try, if not costing too much and nothing else works? Heat comes from the top of the head, I guess? Will maybe try it if my specialist does not have any idea of what can be done, Never had this problem before, and at my age just could not understand the other situation mentioned above, as the correct answer, but maybe my physician does truly know the truth about this?

I have what seems like hot flashes too (age 80!!) It seems to start in my core, and I can feel it advancing to full body. A little sweaty but not what they describe as night sweats. and I also have chills during the day. This is not all the time. seems to pretty much stop for a while and then starts up again.
