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.

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

Well, this is interesting... I thought it was the pred making me sweat. Had night sweats terribly at first, but that stopped after I started methotrexate. Now I sweat when I do any little bit of activity. Again, thought it was the pred. Maybe its not. Hmmmmm...

Night sweats are often listed as a symptom in medical info, and it's one of the questions the more thorough docs ask me...

Hey DD just got latest blood work and once again I have a positive ANCA but other than the profuse sweating show no other signs so right now I'm on no Meds. Dr said with nothing to Biopsy does not want to start a round of unpleasant drug regiment. Does anyone know if Wegeners can be systemic? My blood work also showed MCH and MCV were low. I have app. with family MD on Mon. I will be setting an appointment with a Wegener's specialist in Kansas City KS to hopefully find some answers.

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?
