So I took a medication that helps with dry mouth, with sweating as a side effect

...it's cold and despite me being in 2 blankets and under more covers, I feel like I've just gotten out the shower sitting in front of a fan 😖
Miserable.

I've taken this med for about a week. First time I'm getting the sweat side effect 🤔

I felt that way this afternoon like I was coming down with something. Made some spicy chicken soup with lemon juice and ate a bowl of it and went to sleep. At least the cold chills have gone away. I didn’t sleep much the last 3 nights because I started drinking green tea in late afternoon and it keeps me awake.

@cherokeepatti That was my first thought, "im getting sick" but then I remembered that I had taken that pill 30-60 minutes prior and had a bath. It was very uncomfortable being under 3 layers of covers, sweating and shivering

@iamnikki I was feeling bad so I took a long, hot shower and then the cold chills started. I turned the heat up a bit but kept shivering, put on a fleece jacket and laid down under to blankets and it kept on. Got up and ate some soup and drank a ginger ale, went to bed early and I guess it healed me.
