You might have your Dr increase your hormones a little that might help. I know Steroids cause sweating a lot especially at night. Try a cool wet cloth on your neck or one of the kerchiefs that stay cool. Maybe even a cooling blanket that you lay on. Good luck. I have sweating at night also but I live in Tucson where the temps have been 110. I only have a sheet on my bed but I don’t use it. Hope this helps. Amazon has cooling blankets.

You’re welcome. I just shared it with the team. I’m sure there are a lot of us going through this that can benefit from it as well.

Is interesting because I’ve been getting overheated at nighttime and I was thinking maybe menopause but I saw this earlier and it made sense that it might be the meds we take.

Thanks for the info. I have been having horrible night sweats. I have been on prednisone for a little over a year now. if I'm not freezing then I'm really hot.

If you’ve been taking Prednisone for a long time it can cause Chushing syndrome. Buffalo hump by neck sweating weight gain.
