Nntp-Posting-Host: squid.cs.ucla.edu Archive-Number: 2707 For quite some time now I have had to sleep with a doubled up towel on my pillow and sometimes awake with it soaking wet. I don't have a fever when this occurs and it is never a sweat below my neck or shoulders. Other than the fact that this is a symptom of HIV, do "they" know what causes it or have any idea how to prevent the symptoms? I know it's just a big inconvenience (relative to other HIV problems) and I drink plenty of liquids to recover the loss. I'm just curious. My visiting nurse says it's also a symptom of TB but I had a chest Xray in January with negative results. Thanks for any replies in advance...."Bird" -- Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!asuvax!stjhmc!135!38!The."Bird" Internet: The."Bird"@f38.n135.z1.fidonet.org
