Donation protected
Hello everyone! My name is Cancer Fighter Moose and I recently decided to start streaming!! I'm trying to retain some privacy so trying not to give out my name, but just Moose will work. I am a 34 year old, male, and married. I am a gamer at heart and have been for most of my life. I recently asked for some help with getting an actual streaming setup going and with the generosity of many friends, family and people I'll never be able to thank in person, I recently became the excited and proud owner of an EPIC PC!!! This thing will run anything I throw at it! Thank you again to everyone who contributed to make my stream setup complete! I want to throw a single shout out and thank you to my brother Medic_Betsey. He bought me the perfect PC and made up more than the remainder!! He really helped get the heart of my setup complete. Thanks again brother, I love you man!!!
I now have one more major ask from all the interweb out there.
For about a month now, I have been having terrible night sweats. They occur every. single. night... I have been talking with my doctors, my PT, and of course consulted the great and powerful interweb. Doctors have switched up meds a couple times now. They have now basically concluded that it is "the cancer" that is causing the sweats. I'm like, "Ok, if its the "Cancer" what kind of solutions or options do we have to get this under control", and the doc's have mostly been silent. PT had a few things to be sure and ask the doctors, but was pretty confident the things she was thinking of would show up on the blood tests they are already doing. Internet has been... well. the internet. The best "solution" I have found to try is one of these blankets. I definitely would LOVE to live in a world I could afford a Sleep Number Mattress however that would be a substantial ask when I have debts I owe to family. I was able to find this blanket that did both heat and cool on the one side of the bed. My wife doesn't need any temperature changing so only my side needs to be affected. The ratings seem to be really good and the satisfaction guarantee and return policy also seem really good. For the price tag of $600 in comparison to others on the market and the mattresses it is definitely the cheaper if not cheapest option for both heating and cooling on one side of the bed alone and can be controlled. To be honest I have no idea how well this will stop the sweat. I'm hoping I can find a setting that will allow me to enjoy a morning that doesn't start with peeling my 100% saturated shirt off myself. However, I'll settle for just being able to quickly turn from heat to cool. So when I am in the middle of a really bad night, without having to jump into the shower shivering and then sit there till the hot water runs out, I can have some control over my temperature. The last really bad night actually put me into the ER the next day. I was so dehydrated and weak from the sweating, shivering, showering, then rinse & repeat all night, we thought that there had to be something measurably wrong. We called the special cancer outpatient line and explained the situation. They said they were full however recommended that we check into the ER. Fortunately, there is a ER much closer to my home than where I would have had to have gone for the special cancer patient ER. We were able to walk right in and get a room immediately which was nice. They finally got me warm after the fifth warm blanket I believe LoL! They ran all the tests they thought they might need to. Of course they all came back negative. Once again, another doc says "It must just be the cancer". GGRrrrrrr.. tell me something I don't already know!!
So now, I'm here trying to find any solution I can because this crap is really affecting my sleep. I think this product might offer some relief and finally get a good night sleep. If not, the return policy is pretty robust and I should be able to return it.
Here's to hoping!! I really need a good night sleep!
Also, please check out my following social media!! I mostly have gaming vids but for those interested I do have some health updates as well.
Thank you everyone out there!!
