I read some replies and am glad other people said the night sweats were
weird.
Get checked out, and get checked for lymphoma. I'm not a doctor, but
that's what I always think of when people say "night sweats and
fatigue."
It could also be hormones, but what do I know? I, apparently, don't have
the right ones anyway.
My main advice is for you to get a new doc.
Much love, and Good luck!
