Hi I am 38 yrs old , about 3 months ago I got really I'll loss of appetite and didn't know why, I had a colonoscopy , endoscopy blood work and finally a hida scan found out gallbladder wasn't functions long story short I started getting nights sweats I had surgery on Monday to remove gallbladder I thought my symptoms would be gone , during all this time I got anxiety I don't know if that was what triggered my loss of appetite,so I was prescribed lorezapam and finally able to eat once I take it, I still have night sweats and that gets me more worried I start thinking I have cancer because of all the night sweats and loss of appetite, and of course I get more anxiety!! So question does anyone else get night sweats and if so how long does it take for it to go away? I can't wait to be normal again 😢

      I can see why your hubby is not understanding as if your just giving in and going to bed you need to find something within and drag yourself out to try and live a normal life as much as you can even if you can make it to the sofa I weighed 5stone had a baby and still survived you will be ok but you have to change your thinking pattern

      For the sake of balance I have to say that's a bit misleading. Medication for anx or depression is generally for short term use and in many can be a very unpleasant experience. They can help some,but they can also make others worse
