Further fear caused by night sweats
Hello, unfortunately I am experiencing anxiety again (Lupus, male 24)! I actually thought that the symptoms were overcome, muscles and joints are feeling better (although still experiencing occasional overuse pain), hot flashes have not occurred for 2-3 days, only a little pain in the groin area remains (wondering if it's from lymph nodes?). However, I woke up this night with sweat on my forehead, which is something I'm not used to! My legs were also a bit sweaty and the sheets were slightly damp, but my upper body was dry and overall not dripping wet, just a bit damp. Could this really be related to Lupus? I never had this during my Lupus phase... Also, the holidays are coming up and I won't be able to get a blood test for another 5 days... Can you please reassure me? Is it true that if night sweats (related to leukemia) are present, the lymphatic form is more common than the myeloid form? Could I possibly have AML? Would it have worsened significantly in the past 10 days? Final question: Is night sweats only considered pathological if accompanied by a fever? I haven't had a fever so far! Thank you in advance!
