sweating

[Guest guest]

I wish I knew how to watch the Iron I am on my Dr. told me to take this brand

and right now I am on only one pill a day. I am taking some NOW® Super Enzyme

for my low acid in my stomach and this is helping with my heartburn and reflux I

am hoping this will help with the low Iron also.

The way I found out my pituitary is the problem was I went on 500 IU's of HCG 3

x's a week after the 15th shot we tested my levels and they doubled. At the

time I had been on Testosterone meds for 23 yrs. and this shuts down your testis

from making it. My testis were the size of small grapes now they are back to

there normal size. This is when we started treating my low Cortisol, Thyroid

and Aldosterone levels. Then the low iron so this is the best I have felt in 23

yrs. The HCG acts like LH and makes your testis make testosterone if they are

any good.

Welcome-

Sorry it has been tough. The sweating is natural at the beginning and

should balance out after a week or two, their bodies just need time to

adjust. I dressed my son in as little as possible (shorts and t-shirt

jammies to sleep, short sleeves when everyone else was wearing long,

etc.) and he was fine after about 9 or 10 days. Hang in there!

Hi--

I'm so sorry to hear that your son is having a tough time. We also had

some challanges those first few days, especially since we got the band

on a Friday and much of it occured over the weekend. Our LO also had

overheating. He ran hot to begin with, so I was prepared for some

issues, but the heat rash freaked me out. I think that if I really

would have embraced those first few days as an adjustment period, I

would have been able to handle it better emotionally.

Anyways, my son was in a DOC band, but I'm guessing the recommendations

regarding overheating would be the same. Take it off regularly and

towel dry his head. Don't keep the helmet off for long periods of time

though, because he really does need to adjust. We pretty much kept our

son only in a onsie, and would sometimes go in late at night to cover

him with a light blanket if it got noticably cold. We would also turn

on his ceiling fan. They really need to be dressed lightly. His body

will adjust and then things may be different, but for now, keep him

cool and you will get through it!

Christy:

The first two weeks my son was in his StarBand were terrible with

sweat. It does get better. However, as summer approached (July and

August)our ortho drilled holes into the Starband for air circulation.

It made a huge difference.

What does Dr. Brownstein say about what?

Steph

Sweating

This issue of extreme sweating is important. My daughter uses Armour, added Cortef (5mg/day) and got the same reaction. What do you experts say? Does Brownstein address this, anyone? TIASavvy

Is this a side effect of meds? Is anyone else bothered with this? I never had

this prob before but, I am sweating buckets when doing simple task and chores.

Kathy, I know prednisone can make you sweat. Are you on any pred? I take

a 5 mg tab and I would always sweat. I'm now on an Hormone replacement

patch and I don't have that problem.

Hi Kathy -

A lot of med's can cause that and it can

Mean nothing but U shld discuss the issue at Ur next doc visit. Sweating can be

related to a range of a lot of other issues- ranging from diabetis to menapause-

to even thyroid, etc. Just make sure your doc is awhare of all your issues,etc.

Hi Group:

I am not sure, but I was flaring with the RA and hot flashing at the same time.

Not sure of the ages of the people complaining about sweating, but if you are

not pre-menopausal or undergoing menopause, certainly around the time of your

monthly menses you will sweat more coupled with RA flares. I notice no men

complaining about sweating (or are you guys??)

It is HORRIBLE to PMS or hotflash and flare at the same time. If calgon could

take me away, that would be the time - L0L:))

Worse, you can be in airconditioning set to freezing and still be sweaty hot and

miserable!

OKD

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your answeres. No I am not on pred. Taking Methotrexate, folic

acid, bp meds, cymbalta and vyvanse. I will tell my dr about it as my Mom had

diabetes. Thanks again for your responses. Kathy

never connected tramadol and sweating but I can see that now... I tried to stay

off tramadol for about a month in June and just started it back up recently....

I have definitely been sweating a ton more since going back on them so perhaps

the tramadol is the med that is making me sweat.

[Guest guest]

Any narcotic can cause sweating....it will hopefully go

Away if you can stand it that long

Hi , When undermedicated it is more common to have a lack of sweating, but too cI feel is probably part of the inability to properly temperature regulate- so we feel too hot when it is hot and too cold when it is cold. Can also be an indicator of over or inappropriate thyroid medication. > thyroid treatment > From: tanyaking32@...> Date: Sun, 5 Sep 2010 10:38:12 +0000> Subject: sweating> > does any one suffer with times when they sweat inappropriately?> .x> > > > ------------------------------------> > TPA is not medically qualified.

[Guest guest]

,

This is a bit of an issue for me also. I'm not medicated at all, and would

describe myself as 'under' active, very low t4, but no diagnosis as tsh in

range, even though I've had thyroid surgery etc.

I used to think it was hot flushes, and fair to say, pre-menopause I didn't

sweat until it was 200 degrees in the shade.

However, years beyond the menopause now, I simply run hot, and agree with ,

I can't seem to regulate body temperature at all. Exactly as she stated, if I

get cold, I can't warm up. Overall, I'm hot though.

Interesting?

I am 35yr old male now and allways get/have hot and clammy hands. When i was

13-22 i used to sweat a lot under my arms.. i always used to cover it up with

two tops etc.

I have been on Nature throid for 4 months (now 3 grains) and am not sweating

much.

Thinking of introducing some HC too.

When i last introduced HC and was on straight T3 i got sweaty armpits just like

i used to do as a teenager.

Just wanted to say that, Dorothy ,I feel exactly the same as you, I also feel too hot in the mornings and it tails off at lunchtime, I am 42 and I also have autoimmune Hypothyroid....Strange...I'm not sure what is causing this.

[Guest guest]

I'm a 57 year old woman and have only recently been diagnosed by Dr. P with an

autoimmune hypothyroid. I never used to sweat, but now I do. Also, in the

mornings I'm usually really hot, but it tends to wear off by lunchtime. Very

strange. I never used to be hot at all, quite the reverse! Dorothy

What's your oestrogen level Miriam. Perhaps you are actually low

in oestrogen - which can cause hot flushes too. I also considered 'starting to

sweat' good as it showed my metabolism was starting to function more normally

again - at least, that's the way I looked at it.

Luv - Sheila

I have been having hot flushes (for the last 20

years), and haven't found Serenity to make much, if any, difference, though it

has improved my sleep. They seem to be related to low blood sugar, and I am

still working on that problem. There can be lots of factors involved so there

are many different things to try. :-(

http://www.drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Hypoglycaemia_-_the_full_story

I have recently started being able to sweat, but it is not excessive. I feel

that is a good thing as it helps with detoxification.

, when you say " inappropriate " sweating, do you mean

excessively, or simply at random times?

Miriam
