Members responded with strong recognition to the question about experiencing hot flashes without being in menopause, with many sharing that night sweats and daytime heat waves are a regular and exhausting part of their lives with PBC. Several members described waking up drenched in sweat, throwing off blankets, and dealing with waves of heat throughout the day, with some noting it feels different from a hormonal flash and more flu-like. A recurring theme was that these symptoms are likely tied to liver disease itself, with many members calling for more research into PBC symptoms and finding comfort in knowing they are not alone.
