Does any have night sweats?? If you do, do you know what causes it? It could be hormonal, I'm 49, but I don't think so.I'm trying to figure out what I can do to stop it or make it less frequent. I'm tired of washing sheets and PJs so many times per week!

" I do, but not every night. I'd blame the Rebif, but it doesn't always correspond with shot night.

I'm 41 and peri-menopause has crossed my mind. I figure it could be worse... "

" I get this every so often and I'm on copaxone and definitely not pre-menopausal. I used to think it was because my husband was making me hot (No, not that way) but he often sleeps on the couch and it's happened when I've slept alone. It's very weird, waking up that sweaty..but I've just written it off as another strange but harmless symptom of this bizarre disease. "

" I hear you loud and clear. When my husband wants to warm up he just snuggles. That makes me even more hot and I have to get up and walk on the cold ceramic floor in order to cool down. Only suggestion is sleep with a ceiling fan on and use only sleeveless cotton nighties. At least they let you breathe. GOOD LUCK! By the way I too am on Copaxone. Maybe that is it. "

" Ok, first I must clear this up, I am not now pre, post or currently any type of menopausal, but I do get the night sweats. They are just one of the reasons I cannot get a good night sleep. At least I sure hope its MS related and I am not really menopausal, I would have to create a whole new discussion post if I was. "

" It was one of my first signs of menopause, as it often is even perimenoapausal women get night sweats. My gyno ran a long list of tests just to confirm what my rear had already told me. It could be MS related but more than likely menopausal. "
