I cannot stop sweating. Especially at night. My face is always wet and shiny and it doesn't wipe off I have to use soap. My entire body gets soooo wet and night its not uncommon for me to change my clothes, sometimes twice.

I hate going into public places because I feel like I smell even if I showered an hour before. I used to only sweat at night. It's getting soooo much worse. My hair gets so wet. It's really uncomfortable.

It doesn't matter if I'm freezing cold. I'll still be sweating. If my legs are touching each other they get so wet you can see the darker areas through even thick jeans. It's out of control.

Any advice??

IHL,

I had the same issues when I was really sick. I had bad night sweats and sometime bad day sweats (especially under my armpits). Sometimes, I would be drenched almost immediately after getting dressed. It was awful. Typically, night sweats are a sign of Babesia but I think other co-infections are also involved. Slowly this issue improved for me with treatment. Unfortunately, I don't have great suggestions. Carry an extra set of clothes with you if necessary and deodorant. Try to wear clothes that will disguise your sweating.

I also suggest getting a high quality water-proof mattress protector. I only had a mattress pad on my bed and all of sweating caused my bed to prematurely wear. I quickly destroyed that mattress (and it wasn't a cheap)!!! Argh.

Hope it improves soon!
