Re: Anyone get fevers? - Sweating and Hot

Hi There~
I am glad to see this post as well. I was starting to think it's a hot
flash even post hysterectomy 5 years ago. I get these 4-5 times a day.
I can see a pattern when it's about time for the pain medicine about an
hour before and the pain is rising. I get twinges and pulsing in
various areas. I can lift up my shirt and my abdomen is drenched and my
palms as well as the inner thigh areas.
I have a friend who has been told several times during surgery when they
work on the "hot spots" where the endo is active and flaring she would
break out in a drenching sweat on the table :) and a time or two move
while she was sound asleep. I guess we are in more pain than we realize
after all. :)
Have a good evening!
