Okay I watch "lovelines" on MTV soemtimes (show about random 'romantic'
and health questions that are asked to an MD on live tv) and this is my
only source, but...
But everytime someone talks about anything close to sweating in their
sleep, the Dr. gets REALLY CONCERNED and says that night sweats are a
symptom of something really wrong and you really need to see a Dr. about
them. He gets reallys stern. And jsut the fact that you mentioned you
wake up 'drenched' makes me worry. Please look into this? (or have
you?) I can't remember what it's a sign of but I think it might be of a
serious infection or soemthing.
Ever mention it to Dr. before?
