Posted , 5 users are following.

Hello , has Anyone had sweats everytime they sleep when going through peri. If do does this mean im getting close to menooause? Is a year too long for this to be going on . It's every night and since I have missed my menstrual cycle for two months it has turned into drenching sweats . It's not hot flashes I just wake up and have to change my clothes , it's so bad. I used to do that rarely but now I have to change my top, and sometimes my papajama pants because they are damp too. Please help ... also woke up shaky today . Just feel awful . So tired of this. I was told I was in peri menopause a year ago. Always Had regular periods except for one or two I missed a year but not in a row like this time . Sometimes a week late rarely. I don't know what to think about all this drenching sweat every night since i missed 2 periods . and the nightly sweating the past year . Any one experienced this please tell me.

    I've been having nightsweats since my late 20s!

    Now I get them usually before my period is coming on. I'll sweat my pillow soaked.

    Let me know if you end up getting yours.

      I can't believe you said that I also had sweating in my late 20s. I noticed a pattern to it though. It was related to eating sugary foods. I also have had sweats for the past 5 years a week before my period starts I havnt talked to anyone else that said they did that to. I just figured I must be an odd ball

      Hi Suzanne, I wanted to let you know that I had some spotting . Nothing like my normal monthly cycle. I have only had to use a couple of panty liners since yesterday . Im thinking im at the end of this. Rather im praying I am due to the symptoms I have started having last couple of days especially. A headache and tension in my neck muscles tension. Can you relate to this or have you had similar ?

      Tam, I get everything. Including headaches and neck stuff.

      Doesn't surprise me that you ended up spotting. I was getting that, but now I'm back to getting normal periods, but skipping some months. This cycle I felt completely dreadful the week leading up to it and noticed night sweats.

    HI TAM! I have experienced night sweats every night for long periods of time for about four years, that started getting worse and i thought the time was coming, i am 52 the sweats got worse also to the point where i would get cold and i mean cold chills afterward,,, i missed to periods after so many ups and downs with my cycle, the next month i got what is called a flood my first one it was horrible so i guess here i go again... my point is all this stuff goes up and down it is mentally disturbing to me, and i guess it can go on for up to ten years as i said i am about at 4 to 5 years........❤️❤️❤️ SOUNDS PRETTY NORMAL TO ME JUST TRY TO HOLD ON WE ARE ALL HERE FOR YOU!!!!

      Hi Beverly, thank you so much for your reply. I am so glad to know the sweating can go on like this . It's a relief to know it's been experienced but not a relief to experience it . I know it could be a lot worse and is for some in many ways . I hear women say they had heavier more frequent periods and one day they just stopped. Trust me I don't want heavy periods I just want them and these sweats to stop. Thank you for your encouragement.
