| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

| | Had Hubby to the Docs again today he is getting really bad cold sweats. We thought it may have been his glucose was to low or high but they tested it was ok.
He is shivering a lot its crazy as we live in the Tropics he has been walking around with a a jacket on.
The Doc has sent him for more blood tests he seems to think it may be a side effect to his one of his meds?
We have to go and see a specialist on Friday will see what he says?
Thanks Jen |

| | Oh that doesn't sound good Jen. Let's hope it is just a side effect of meds, or a bout of the flu, and nothing more serious. |

| | Hi Jen
I don't know much about PTSD but I have seen Anthony go down (as in get sick) and during one of those times he had the sweats for days. As quick as I could wipe it off with a face washer it was all over him again. Once he got better from being down with PTSD the sweats disappeared.
Don't know whether that helps or not?
PS... sorry if I'm not using the right terminology with the sickness stuff. |

| | Oh that is interesting Nicolette, thank you for sharing. Evie also has sweats and shakes for days at times. However I was uncertain I should mention it, as it may be a physical problem for her, with the cancer and other health problems she experiences. In any event, interesting that it may be the PTSD as well. |

| | Thats interesting Nicolette and Kathy but are they cold sweats? He is getting really cold then sweats. He is wearing a jacket again today ( its not cold).
He didnt take the tablet this morning that the doc thought may be the problem. How long does it take to get out of the system? I thought about 24 hours?
Thanks Jen |

| | Whilst in anxious mood, sweats continue. Depends on the level of anxiety... | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
