    Default Excessive Sweating

    Anybody else have trouble with excessive sweating?

    My head and hair wet continually with sweat. I do understand that it is a minor problem but it looks and feels terrible. Washing my hair daily. Hair slightly thinning and not looking healthy but i still do have hair so probably shouldnt complain at all.


    Taking the time to smell the roses .......

    I think it is called Prednisone. I am back on Pred and am experiencing the sweats again.

    I'm with Dale on this one. When I'm off the pred, I don't sweat much, but on it, my pores are like a faucet.

    Dear Angela, Yes, sweating from pred You remind me much of myself- apologizing for the little things Just want to tell you that on here you do not need to feel bad for "complaining" . We ALL get it. And just because something is not as bad as it could be-its still bothersome to the person going thru it...so "complain on" And welcome !!!

    Regarding your thinning hair, you may want to talk to your doctor about adding folic acid to your regimen. Hair loss is a side effect of methotrexate and some other immunosuppressants.

    And whats with my face lol. I look in the mirror and don't recognise myself. Probably the prednisone again !!
    My face is now rounder fuller swollen. I did have high cheek bones and hollows. Not any more. Lol. And my dr said i am getting acne. Doesnt seem to be like when you are a teenager......such a life time ago. But more sort of just a very lumpy face. Sorry not a pretty picture. Lol

    But i would rather all that than the alternative. So i have to be thankful that i was diagnosed at all and received treatment very quickly

    It's mostly the pred, including the acne...docs called it pred acne...original, huh?! Hang tough, frequently the treatments are more disruptive than the disease itself! LOL!

    Yep, pred face is not pretty... at least you have high cheekbones under all that; I don't, and my face just becomes a big blob! My pred face is pretty much gone now, and yours will be, too, someday!

    When I am able to go out I try to look as good as I can, with hair done, make-up on and clothes that fit right. It is very hard to get thru that process without sweating so much that you need a shower again, it really sucks. I know it is the peds but when you are in public and it happens that is really humiliating. I feel for you and hope things improve for you soon.
