Hi Everyone
Wondered if anyone is experiencing the shivers while on prednisone?
All last winter I had the shivers really bad with teeth banging together.
All summer I have had the sweats so bad they make me feel really bad. I started using an electrolyte during them and that helps a little with the sick feeling.
Now I am getting them both. Our temp has been dropping a bit thru the nite and I have had a few spells of shivers early morning. Then it gets hot during day and back come the sweats. I feel like a real yo yo going back and forth.
It all started 19 mos. ago when I was first diagnosed with pmr and put on 20 mg of prednisone. Now I am down to 11-12 mg and that has not changed this problem.
Thanks for all the great help you offer here

Night sweats with pred
Night sweats typical?
I had the problem of a body thermostat that was broken all the way through PMR without pred - although mostly I was too hot. Then suddenly one winter I was cold - needed socks again! Now I'm mostly pretty warm - but early mornings I wake too warm and shortly afterwards I'm cold. Not as dramatic as you though.
The worst is being comfortable walking around the village and going into a shop - and then feeling as if I'm frying!!!
