For those of you that had night sweat and fevers before being diagnosed, how exactly were they. Were they drenching and everynight? Were the fevers constant or sporadic?

I have seen multiple doctors for intermittant fever and other symtoms for the lst 2-3 years. No one has been able to figure out what is wrong.

Two years ago I had a gallium scan, then a follow up ct scan. All negative. Last year I started getting fevers again around March. They would come, go up to 101-102, fever, aches, chills flu like symtoms. Everything was back to normal by the next day. I have also noticed night sweats again. (I had them in 2005 as well)

I go to bed at 9:00 and wake up around 11:00 (my 2 year old crys). I am bone dry. I go back to sleep and wake up at 3:00 a.m. I am sweating back of neck, jest legs etc. But I am not hot. It is not drenching but I can tell I have been sweating. Go back to sleep. Wake up at 5:00 and I am bone dry.

Anyway, I have been really worried about this for 2 years. I have had the fevers for about 3. (Off and on) I have had numberous blood tests. My cell counts are normal, no lupus, lyme, arthritis, rocky mountain spotted fever, or anythign like that. it is frustrating and scary.

I have noticed it is worse int he springtime and had an allergy test last year that was negative. I also have lost weight but have been exersicing and watching what i eat for the past several years

Hi stryped, I am sorry to hear about your continued problem with night sweats. It must be very frustrating to not know why this is happening to you! I usually tell people that they need to see their own physician for daignosis. However, you have done that with no success in finding answers. Have you gone to a major medical center or to a local dotor? Nothing against local doctors, however sometimes, we all need to go to a major medical center were they can do more extencive testing.

Good luck,
