Overheating


I'm also down to 5mg of prednisone and still no change with being hot all the time! I literally have sweat dripping down my back after a 5 minute walk! It's embarrassing. :( I'm so glad to hear others have the same problem though, I really always thought it was only me because my doctors think I'm crazy when I tell them I'm always hot. My doctor actually tested me for all these other crazy disease that could possibly be making me hot all the time, but everything came back negative.

Me, too!!! I just got my hair cut shorter so it is off my neck because I sweat so much it literally drips down my back off my hair !!! I have been told it could be the steroids but I have dropped my dose from 20mg per day to 5mg per day and it isn't any better. If anyone has suggestions, I am all ears...

I get so hot from being out in hot weather that I actually run a fever even after being inside over an hour. I was wondering, since I am new to lupus, if it messed with our internal thermostat?

Oh yes...it definitely messes with our internal thermostat. You'll find Lupus messes with things you didn't even know you had :)
