Waiting Again

[OJSRLS]

Again I find myself waiting for results a another round of blood test. Sinus problem has gotten better, still nothing to biopsy. Biggest problem right now is that I sweat very easily and very heavy to the point it's embarrising. The Dr. thinks this may be a result of Weg. Has anyone had this problem?

Your doc needs to read up on WG more...yes, sweating profusely in the earlier stages of recovery/dx is well known. Went thru a million T shirts at nite. Was it a problem? Kind of. Will it go away, yes, as your drugs balance you out more. Best to you.

Same here as DD. Would sweat to beat the band day and night but went away with treatment.

This is so reassuring : I've always got hot but since starting the meds have got a whole lot worse

The pred will cause sweating for sure. I started sweating profusely a couple of years ago and haven't stopped yet. Way past menopause so I don't know what's causing it as I didn't start pred until Nov. Annoying as all get out though.

Hi OJSRLS, yes, I had the heavy sweating about 2 weeks solid before Mom brought me to the hospital. I lay on my parents couch and soaked blanket after blanket, yet I was shivering cold at times. So Yes, I do think it could be a result from wegs. But it stopped after I began treatment in the hospital. Are you on prednisone, Cytoxan or other meds for wegs?

Me, too, with the sweating, though mainly at night, in early stages before and shortly after dx. If I have it now, it is likely a sign of a flare, which for me have been mild ones. I don't think pred makes me sweat much, though I can see how it could, and everyone is different.

I had brutal night sweats in the months before dx and new meds (Imuran and prednisone). DIS-GUS-TING. Cleaning bed sheets every morning and using a mattress protector. So gross. My kids would scream and run away. Now just brief hot flashes where I feel like I'm breaking out in a sweat then it subsides. This could be the beginnings of menopause or the prednisone, or both.

I certainly don't fancy the flaming menopause on top of this lot !!!

welcome back Don and with new "suit" of your new avatar



btw, why is that Putin so big ? we need a little Putin,
ok, back on topic:
sweating for me is a red sign: of flaring, and/ or infection and/or cold. I remember changing wet shirts couple of times at night mostly when I had lung infection.
it is something which deserve more checking.
good luck and update us
