Hi,

Does anyone get night sweats even though they're ESR/CRP are very low?

OR after a steroid shot?

Just a little nervous as I am getting overheated at night.

Love,

Amanda

Hello Lovely Amanda

I myself always get night sweats after having any does of steriods,i also get red flushing of face,arms.
sorry u feeling like this not pleasant at all.

I also get them becasue of my ESR/CRP being so rasied at moment along with inflammed face/lupus always at nite lol.I find flannel and bowl cool water by bed helps to sooth this so can sleep.
last night ahd stand at one windw not a good idea.may catch cold.!

I tedn get so hot i actaully start process off Fainting,so i go to bathroom where cooler and take water seems help.

hugs melly

Thanks for replies.

Mari, this is exactly how i am, Mark says I am not hot to touch but I am soaking. It is just so scary.


He has now opened the window and this is helping as he was thinking I was having the sweats as the heating came on but I am having them much earlier too.

It may be due to the steroid I had last Friday but they've been happening before this and with not sleeping properly anyway I feel such a mess!

Love,
Amanda

Hi Amanda, im having flush in my face only for two days now, my nose how ever is freezing, and has been for a few weeks, just rang hospital as my mum said don't leave it till next week ( hospital appointment) don't know if this is because i had steroid with each Rituximab infusion or if its some thing else , it has never happened in the fourteen years ive been ill x

Hi Amanda,

Its one of the many things I am going to raise with my rheumy on my next visit Friday, so I will ask and let you know what he says (if anything). I agree that its something in our chemistry whether its drug or conditoned fuelled. I use to think everything was my age and then after diagnosed it was all down to the RA, but things are not so simple and it was bit of a negative view point.

Besides your hip Amanda how is your RA? Whats your position re the medicines, do you feel they are working for you at the moment, or why you might feel its a reaction? Try taking your temp and see if you are running a fever and i will do the same. If we have a temperature then we will need to contact the GP and if not well its something to address at the next drug review/consultation.


Take care

Sorry Amanda I edited this as I reflected and thought to clarify I think my issues might be that my drugs havent kicked in whereas you I gather you feel it might be a reaction. Hope we get sorted anyway. All the best

Hi again Amanda

Glad to hear those steriods sorted you out. I got a steriod shot in September into the system to help things whilst my dmards kicked in.

Take care

Mari

Hi Amanda

Like most others who have responded I, too, am a "hot at night" woman!! I spend the entire year sleeping with the fan on and the window open but still usually end up wet through!! It IS horrid and drives me to distraction but I have been like this for soooo long I just accept it, pain though it is! I feel very sorry for you and all the other younger members of the forum though, as I think mine may have something to do with hormones as well (I'm way past my sell by date!!)

Love Jeanxxxx

Well we could call ourselves the hot mamas Amanda re menopause (i have read up a good bit on the fertility side of things) Dont worry as long as you get periods you can get pregnant so dont worry about that. I hate the idea of the menopause its just one more thing to contend with. -Again we (hubbie and I) are sitting around and I feel toasted and theres no heating on. Perhaps we can put it down to global warming rather than our bods.

I just had a slice of death by chocolate.........in fact i feel a bit ill.....it was so rich What does wub mean?

I have these, for me it is steroids related for sure.

Also hot joints!

temperature regulation is effected by RA, it takes me a long time to warm up when cold and then a long while to cool down when hot.!

Ditto!!!!
