SWEATS!!!!

I had surgery on July 12...the only problem I am having is that I go from dripping sweat off my neck to "cover me up" chills in a 7 minute time span...is this common?  Please help....Bonnie

 remember the temp differences in the beginning Bonnie......but mostly freezing........gosh i was cold.......just couldnt seem to get warm and was so used to alwasy being hot.  One thing that you should do since you are such a recent surgery is take your temp and make sure it isnt elevated (infection)........otherwise i think it is just part of the body regrouping and moving to its "new life"  good luck!  enjoy the ride..hug rae

I appreciate your explanation...I also cannot wait to remain cold...I have been hot for so long.  I will take your advise...thanks so much.  B

Bonnie,  Dr Krause did my surgery as well in 2003.  I had sweats for months and never had a fever, so who knows.  NOW...I "think"I have started menapause because I have hot flashes 50 times a day and its terrible. If it continues....call dr Krauses office

That is the advise my husband keeps telling me...I will call tomorrow..thanks

Keep a very close check on your sugar; this can cause sudden sweats as it drops!  I would call your DR and ask. Good luck, Judy R

Hi Judy...I am diabetic, so i do watch my sugar level very closely.  Thanks so much...I did speak with the doctor last night and he put me back on a hormone patch.  Hopefully this will work out because sweats are the pits!!!  thanks again.
