Help!!

[Bronn]

I suffer with Lupus, Fibro myalgia, Epilepsy, Asthma and numerous other health issues.

I have recently come out of hospital after a water infection went to my kidney resulting in my kidney being enlarged. Since coming home my lupus has flared and I'm suffering flu symptoms. What I really can't cope with is the sweating it's almost constant but exasperated after the slightest little exersion. Im taking 17.5 mg of prednisilone having had to to stop Cellcept due to infection. Due to see rheumatologist in 2 days. Can anyone help please

Hello Bronn,

Really glad to know you're seeing your Rheumy in 2 days. S/he will hopefully have some answers for you. That's very tricky when you have to come off the immunosuppressants due to infection. Perhaps there will be a replacement that your Rheumy can try?

I just want to say that I understand that sweating response. It's not all the time for me, but all I have to do is turn on the hoover or get out the iron and it starts. I don't have a clue what to do about it, but just wanted to say I relate.

Let us know if your Rheumy has some solutions.

All best, Panda x

Thankyou Panda for your support. Really pinning my last hopes on tomorrow, hubby going with me for support. Oh I know the slightest effort into something and I'm soaking, the hot weather lovely as it is has not helped.

Sweating whilst on Pred unfortunately can be an unwelcome side effect.

It sounds as if this is intolerable for you, I would put a call into your GP and ask for advice going forward.
