hot and cold flashes w/ crohn's?

yeap, i have always had hot and cold flashes with crohns... usually when i sleep... also usually when i am getting sick (flare up)...or infections are starting... hope this helps...

During flares I get times when I go really cold and shaky/shivery - would usually happen right before a vomiting or diarhea episode. I'd get night-sweats too which I guess could have been hot flashes. When I'm in remission I don't get them though, but I'm also one of those people who is permanently cold and wears 5 jumpers when other people are wearing just shirts!

Hi everyone. I have these two, but mine occur both during the day and at night. Have any of your doctors suggested a remedy, or is this just something we have to live with?

I heard night sweats are your body's old school method of getting rid of toxins in a bid to get you better.....kinda makes sense I guess. My GI said to me that if I was having night sweats it was a sign my body was definitely not happy about something and to keep an eye out.

Yeah; over the past month or two I've been getting night seats.. But it's not every night.. Maybe twice a week I wake up and I'm soaking wet.. I have to move to the other side of my bed where it's dry cause I'm too lazy to change the sheets in the middle of the night lol.... And by the time I wake up, I'm normally freezing cold from laying in a "puddle" of my own sweat. I'm going to try and get to the bottom of it as far as finding out if there are certain foods I eat through the day or days that I don't workout if it becomes a more common occurrence. Glad to see I'm not the only person with this.. Also; be careful; as night sweats can also be an early sign of diabetes, so it's something to watch out for! (Not to get you worried or anything)

I have had the sweats before, & the chills have been pretty common. The sweats however usually indicate Kidney stones in me or I'm in withdrawl from some med or other.
Chills can be fever or an attack of the Big D ( When I get them most).

Not me Man! Sweats are not just uncomfortable, they are hard to hide when your clothes are soaking wet & sweat is getting in your eyes. Or maybe my body is nostalgic for my old running days..
