Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 June, so sorry about your night sweats. How long has it been going on? Have you contacted your rheumatologist about this? I would. I'll tell you where to go!

It is great to see how many people are recognizing that if you need help, this is the group to join. > Lately, I have been having night sweats so bad, I have to get up and change my pj's and get another pillow. At first, my head was so wet I thought my water pillow was leaking. I spoke to my GP about it and he is sending me for blood tests today to see if something is going on. He mentioned a couple of things, which I was not impressed with, like Lymphoma or neoplasia and other than that he says it may well be something I just have to live with. Hard to explain to a male doc how important my hair is to me and waking up with wet hair pretty well confines me to staying home. I depend on my hairdresser every week to keep my hair looking good and this is now getting too much when I go on Sat to get it done and wake up Sunday with totally wet, yucky looking hair. CBC called yesterday wanting to do another interview and I had to refuse since that was no way I would appear on tv with ratty looking hair. > Vanity, thy name is woman. > > Hugs > June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 June, Have you had a TB test? Since night sweats is a primary symptom of TB and Enbrel use has been linked to TB, the possibility exists. Hyperthyroidism is another possibility. I can imagine you're pretty scared at the serious possibilities, but try not to think that it's something like Lymphoma or neoplasia. I'd be hiding out from TV cameras too if I were having a bad hair day. I hope your blood tests find out what is going on. a > First, welcome to all new members.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I had a TB test before I started Enbrel but may be something I should be mentioning to my doctor. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hello all, I just got out of the hot tub..all tucked into bed with my lap top... Boy has it been a rough couple of days.. I find myself fearing going to sleep because of the pain that heightens so much during the night into the morning and afternoon. I had a horrible day on tuesday..wed and thursday were a little better..then today I got hit full force again. Along with this my psoriasis is flaring as well..when that happens my skin feels like it is burning. I just wanted to say hi to all the newcomers and a thanks to all who so warmly welcomed me earlier this week. I saw my primary care physician yesterday,( got my first thiamin shot) my appointment with the rheumatologist is jan 26..that is a rush appointment... as they were already booking into April. Does anyone in this group see a rheumatologist in sacramento, california area..named Dr. Cheema,@ UCDAVIS med center? I am so ready to kick butt in this disease... I think I can.. I think I can... I think I can... I think I can.. I hope I can figure out who is who and keep it straight in my mind. I belong to a weightloss surgery support group where each post has the posters picture attached..it helped so much in getting to know each person... I got spoiled by that as I am terrible at remember names alone.. Ineed a face to go with it.. I hope everyone is doing well..talk again soon Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
