Hi Claudia, welcome to the forum ️ , regarding your night sweats, (i hate those) have you have any tests to rule out infections, thyroid checks or blood tests so they can find out what could be going on? (there's probably a myriad of things that could causing the night sweats) jaycs, a member of ours might be able to help a bit more on that front, you should get more responses soon (welcomes and responses) it was nice to say hi, hope to message soon

Well, Claudia: welcome from me too!
Checking with the sub-forum the comment is on: sweats aren't a sign of fibro.

I'd say they are a severe symptom and can be a dangerous one, so need to be checked immediately,
I'd even go as far as to say via "emergency"... That's cos we haven't got any further context.
If these periods were only 5 minutes once a night and once a day, it would need checking inside of 1-2 months.

My night sweats have got better after adapting my clothes all the time, my appetite also moderate, but my weight hasn't increased, and so my wife is nagging why my cancer doc is taking 3 weeks to call me back (we know he did that in another serious case too...).

Thank you .I didn‘t think it was a symptom . I hate to say it ,but medical care is not what it used to be . Waited 4 months to see a rheumatologist. She just came in ,said you have fibromyalgia. .Gave me a paper to read ,and good bye . Im a little upset right now .PCP is useless.I’m trying to fiind a descent PCP. They are hard to find ,especially where Iive. I’ll be alright .

Thank you .I didn‘t think it was a symptom .

Yeah, thought so, that was just in case.

I hate to say it ,but medical care is not what it used to be .

Did it use to be good where you are?!

Waited 4 months to see a rheumatologist.

Here where I am everyone has to wait 6 months. I sneaked in a sideline, went to one 200k away to get round that, but kept the other appt. as a 2nd opinion, which was good, cos she was the one who diagnosed fibro, the other said I don't look like it's fibro and didn't know what else either, and sent me on to neuro and endocrinology.

She just came in, said you have fibromyalgia. Gave me a paper to read, and good bye. Im a little upset right now.

Well, we all get that, but only if we're very lucky. Some get the same after 10 years of being sent around. And don't even get a paper to read. Since the docs don't know anything more than it says in papers like these. Some send people to us, which is a brilliant idea, cos this forum has collected a wealth of information over the last years.
If you read sunkacola's advice post pinned to the top of the forum (or click here) you will find that you may be in a better place than you think, considering... - only if you agree you have fibro of course...

PCP is useless. I’m trying to find a decent PCP. They are hard to find, especially where Iive.

We have ideas how to do so, and lists of fibro specialists on the main page. In the meantime we have lots of suggestions and you can ask lots of questions, if you want to get places... But you can also just vent, if you don't yet - we have a sub-forum more for that, but we tend to assume that people are here for new ideas & answers.

I’ll be alright.

Yeah - optimism, or even better "radical acceptance" is a brilliant way of calming ourselves down and putting ourselves into the position to improve things.

But getting back to the cold sweats: Are they severe, frequent and have you told a doc that? Because I'd say fibro is something to use active optimism / radical acceptance / the serenity prayer on, but cold sweats are not, no way....
