Night sweats

[Normanjean]

Has any one experienced night sweats for a long period wondering if it is PD related?

My brother has PD and he sweats , just coming over to see me! He will sit in my house with sweat pouring down his face! No matter what..he sweats! He hates it! Yes..it has something to do with PD. My sister is 71 and she still gets hot flashes! Poor Girl! The only time I had night sweats(my head) was before I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Its probably the PD. Janet127

Yes it's pd related. Use of belladonna extract is good for excessive sweating

i've had a problem with night sweats for many years. i'm too old for it to be hot flashes. i came to think it was somehow related to fibro which i've had for about a dozen years but just diagnosed with pk too. so it's pk and not fibro that is the cause of the sweating?amazing. don't know if should laugh or cry but i've been dealing with that since found about about pk. thanks for the belladonna extract suggestion. would be wonderful to not have to change 3-4 times all night due to being sopping wet.

Belladonna extract available at homeopathic stores is very effective solution for it. Take 10 drops 3 times a day. Last one before the bed

I'm not certain if is PD or not. I'm in my early 50's and my testosterone was low. Using testostorone patch 2 mg intermittently.... the sweats went away up until recently, it came back. I'll address this with my nuerologist. While my Parkinsonism diagnosis is new to me, my symptoms are not.

I have a little fan on my bedside table that I leave on all night long and that has actually helped quite a bit. I have fans all over the place these days as I also get the heat attacks during the day especially if I've been exercising. My understanding is that this is a result of a autonomic nervous system that's not functioning very well due to PD.

Hey Enidah The heat attacks you talk about. Have you ever had any right after you take your meds and had pain with the heat attack ? I had more than I care too. That’s most problematic symptoms of crazy 😜 disease for me.

[Enidah in reply to Fishaholic]

I have tried to find some pattern related to my meds but I haven't narrowed it down yet. Being too hot is more common in the evening I've noticed and I usually have less meds in my system at that point.

I have lots of pain but it is not related to the hot spells but mostly to not enough C/L.
