Sweats

[Rini]

I would wake up in a bed soaked to the mat and have to throw it all in the wash and sleep on the sofa in shorts. It would happen mostly as I was sleeping. I still find now (being really close to formal remission) I get worm when I sleep after a harder day. It is a lot less intense now, for a bit i was almost convinced I was going through menopause at 20! This was not a problem be for wg presented.

If you google the symptoms of menopause, they are virtually the same of WG

How lucky am I to have turned 50 and be going through both of these conditions

Gotta love the sweats - NOT !!!!

Wow, Michelle. I can't imagine it. I'm so glad I went through menopause well before contracting WG. That I know of, anyway.... I know everyone is different, but for me, the menopause sweats were worse, and to have Wegs on top of that, well, .... just , wow. I hope your menopause is a short one.

Thanks Anne,

Actually apart from the sweats it's not bad.

I was just amazed that most of the signs are exactly the same as our symptoms.

Hey, here's a thought, maybe I don't even have Wegener's and it's been menopause all of these years - wishful thinking

I will have to do it twice not that im mostly stable and in my 20's -_-. I herd its less bad if you do the steroids and surgeries and THEN the menopause but i suspect they are about the same in any order. Fortunately Mr. Rini has now survived one and will easily be able to survive another

For me, the WG sweats didn't last long, just during the initial treatment phase and then a little bit during flares, or the beginnings of them. Everyone is different.
