What you're describing — sweating during physical activity, after a shower, or while gardening — is something many people with lymphoma experience. It doesn't always have to be drenching night sweats to be connected to lymphoma.
A MyLymphomaTeam member shared something very similar: "I sweat more than normal when I get hot — for example, after a hot shower or outside in the summer. I can't stay outside too long or it takes me soooo long to cool down when I go inside!"
Another MyLymphomaTeam member who has lived with NHL for 14 years said they "get sweaty easily" during physical work and can "wet a T-shirt in 20 minutes." So you're definitely not alone in this! A few things that may help manage sweating during activities:
- Stay well hydrated — drinking plenty of water can make a real difference
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, and sugary drinks
- Wear light, breathable clothing made from natural fabrics like cotton
- Dress in layers you can easily remove
It's worth mentioning your sweating patterns to your doctor, especially if they change or worsen, so they can help tailor strategies to your situation.
