Candida/Fungal Overgrowth, Another Cause of Night Sweats
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
Night Sweats are very common in fibromyalgia, and to a lesser degree in the general population. In two recent newsletters I talked about the role of reproductive and adrenal hormone deficiencies as causes of night sweats. Today I'll discuss another very common problem that triggers night sweats: infections.
Candida is an overgrowth of yeast/fungi (I use the two terms interchangeably in this article). It is a major issue In fibromyalgia and the general population. Unfortunately there's no medical test for this, so a diagnosis can only be made clinically — which to most doctors means that it doesn't exist. And you can't diagnose and treat something if you don't even know it exists!
So how can you tell if you have it? One way is that if you have nasal congestion, sinusitis or irritable bowel syndrome without any apparent causes, then there's a reasonable chance you have Candida overgrowth and should treat it to bring its level in your body back into balance. This not only helps improve your other symptoms, but also helps eliminate your night sweats and even helps decrease your pain, fatigue and brain fog.
So balancing Candida is critical. Now let's discuss how to do it!
