My Cure for night sweats

For years I've had on-and-off night sweats.

First I linked it to protein overconsumption. But then recently I've noticed if I eat too little protein, I'll also sweat.

Cold showers worked for a while, but then I got cold.

Like 4 years ago I started taking wormwood (Artemisia absinthium, after a trial with A. annua)

It seemed to work really well. But I had to keep ramping up the dosage. I am extremely lightweight and recently I've been taking the maximum dose of wormwood, and it's STILL not working well enough.

What's the secret?

Aerobic exercise.

If I do something during the day that gets my heart palpably pumping in my chest, making that "thud thud" sound, I'll be fine for the night.

A nice hike up a steep hill, 15 minutes on the stationary bike, an hour walk, a swim, 10 sets of 15 jumping jacks, what have you.

If I do that, there is no sweat during the night, and I sleep well.

I hope this helps.

I had night sweats on and off for about 10 years.

As an endurance athlete pushing the limits Exercise didn’t make a difference for me. On my recuperating days or sometimes a whole week It didn’t really seem to make a difference either.

So my night sweats were just random no matter what the level of physical activity or lack of it.

For me , this is what fixed it;
1)I found out later on my thyroid Was low and I had Hashimoto. The first thyroid medicine I was on helped a little, but did not eliminate Night sweats. I also had lyme and maybe Bart during this. And I was not treating that yet.

2)Five years after that I changed thyroid medicine from the doctor they could give me a little more potent dose that helped a little bit more. Still had tick infections most likely, but I had no idea what an LLMD was yet.

3) about 10 years after that - I started treating tick infections. I ended that in 2016. Only time I ever get night sweats now is when my thyroid is off. Been being gluten-free for years ago helped stabilize that a little bit more.

Note – tick infections can cause low thyroid and even the autoimmune versions of them being Hashimoto maybe even graves.

I have found out there is sometimes a correlation between how you eat in the evening and having night sweats.
Anyone else experienced this..?
