Members connected over the challenging experience of severe night sweats and overheating, with many initially attributing symptoms to menopause before realizing fibromyalgia could be the culprit, while one member discovered hyperthyroidism was the cause. Several members shared practical strategies including keeping rooms extremely cold with air conditioning set as low as 60 degrees, using multiple fans, taking fish oil supplements (1200mg), and trying medications like Venlafaxine, though results varied. A recurring theme was the physical toll of sleeping in soaked clothing and bedding, changing outfits multiple times per night, and the frustration of profuse sweating during minimal activity, with members finding comfort in knowing they weren't alone in this exhausting symptom.
