I deal with nights pretty much every night. I'm not sure if it's part of the fibro or not. Any suggestions on how to deal with it.

Members widely confirmed that night sweats are common with fibromyalgia, sharing that they often wake up drenched and needing to change pajamas, with many also experiencing sweating and hot flushes throughout the day. Several members recommended practical cooling strategies, including gel pads for the bed and pillows, microfiber cooling towels for the neck, handheld fans, and Kylie sheets to protect bedding. A recurring theme was the relief of discovering they were not alone in this embarrassing symptom, with many finding comfort in the community's shared understanding and actionable tips for managing the discomfort.

Yes, I sure do! Usually I wake up during the night, 1) having to pee & being sweaty & damp enough from myself's sweat that I havta change into new PJ's.. I know it's not from my 'female hormones' cuz I'm 57 & already went thru menopause ~10 years ago.
Sometimes, I wonder if it's from one (or more) of my meds!.. I don't know how to pin it down to just 1 or 2 outta the whole handful of meds I take at least 2 times/day. And yes, it happens during my 'awake hours' too..
I want to wish you Good Luck in finding the reason for your sweats.. Honest, I do!

I have awful sweat issues day and night. It's horrible and embarrassing. I can't even get makeup on anymore due to sweating so much. I have to keep a fan on me and windows open in the winter time. It's crazy!!!!
