Since diagnosis and commencing on hydroxycarbamide I have suffered from nightsweats. I would wake in the night with my pillow soaking wet and my hair like I'd just got out of the shower. This has been ongoing since 2008. A couple of weeks ago I invested in a new mattress and pillows that have a gel layer to help regulate your body temperature and to my amazement it works. Not only that it has also helped reduce my joint pains. I am well impressed

Night sweats
Well, how great is that? Thanks for letting us know. I just got a new mattress recently, but I could do with a new pillow!

Sounds great. Never heard of that, so thanks for sharing. Getting a wool duvet really made a difference for me. It regulates the body temperature as you sleep and has drastically reduced my night sweats.
great - do u have a brand name as I would like 1 of those?
Hi Val-
My night sweats are awful as well. Can you please post the brand of mattress and pillow?

Sounds incredible. These tips are actually quite supportive for everyone, in fact, I bought a new mattress from reecoupons.com/view/nest-be... 1 month ago and I get a free pillow with it.
