Alternative ideas to changing your bedding in the middle of the night.
All the information I've seen on websites suggests changing your bedding when it becomes soaked with sweat but this isn't always convenient when you share a bed.
My solution is to find an old duvet cover, fold it in half, add a towel in-between the folds, and lay it on to of the sheet on my side of the bed when I wake up soaked, but realise the sweating stage has finished, mine usually last 3-4 hours, I can get up, whip the added duvet cover off and return to a cool, dry bed. Works a treat, and my husband is unaware of any of it.
Give it a try
Hi QESec and a very warm welcome to this little corner of the Macmillan Community.
I am Mike and I help out around our Lymphoma groups.
I know from experience having been on my cancer journey for over 26 years (first diagnosed in 1999 at 43) with two very rare, hard to treat types of T-Cell Non Hodgkin’s Lymphomas (one incurable) then Asbestosis and recently Prostate Cancer that navigating this journey can be full of bumps on the road…… and thankfully I have never had to navigate night sweats.
Great tip and I am sure that others may find it helpful.
Hi Sandra….. sorry to hear about your journey to date……. an unwanted rollercoaster comes to mind…..
Due to me having to be treated for both my 2 rare T-Cell NHLs at the same time my main treatment journey from late 2013 to late 2015 was rather complicated….. you can make a bru and follow this link to See my story
Let’s look for your new chemo regime to do the job and open up the door for CAR-T…..
You will see from my story that I have had 2 Allogenic (Donor) Stem Cell Transplants….. and even if CAR-T had been available back in June 2014 and Oct 2015 it would have not done the job for me…… but I have talked with a number of folks in their mid to late 70s who have successfully went through CAR-T and are living a good life.
Sandra are you in the UK?
