Members responded to a question about night sweats with overwhelming solidarity, with many sharing that they wake up completely soaked and struggling with the frustrating cycle of being both hot and cold at the same time. Several members noted that many fibromyalgia medications list night sweats as a side effect, though some experienced sweats starting long after beginning their medications or well past menopause, suggesting the condition itself may be a contributing factor.
