sweating

I certainly did while on prednizone and still have hot flashes at different times of the day. It made me very self conscious because the sweat smelled weird and not like my normal sweat also.

I went to an acupuncture appointment recently and the doctor told me that temperature variations like this are not uncommon especially after steroid use. She says that acupuncture will help to regulate this and I sure hope she is right. I have only had one visit but I will be going on a weekly basis for a while to give it a chance to help.

I am very leery of prednizone. It seemed to have a very drastic affect on my hormones as well and I was diagnosed as low testosterone shortly after coming off of it. It did however keep my flare under control but he price I paid for it was enough that I will be very careful in the future and doubt I will take it for prolonged periods ever again.

Sorry to hear you are going through this. Hug those kids and don't let this stop you.
