Hi Carolyn, My sweats are doing pretty good. If I'm sitting wrong, or my tube/catheter is pinched, they will start, but otherwise they come on a little when I move from bed to chair. Since my surgery in February I have had to stay in the bed, and they haven't been too bad. With Love, CtrlAltDel aka Dave C4/5 Complete - 30 Years Post Texas, USA

I also have the indentation where they were. I was on one for 6 months till they fused my neck. I was in my car accident in 1963, a few years later they came out with the bed version that turned you. Do you have a lot of sweats?/ Lately, I can't seem to stop sweating on one side of my body.....nothing seems to be wrong. This is driving me crazy!!!
