Re: More questions-to Carol

April 9, 2004

Carol,

I sometimes have problems with my heart beating oddly. I didn't know

what was going on. I have always been healthy and had 3 kids and

noone had noticed a thing. I had a couple of pretty bad flares then

about a 1 1/2 yrs ago, my dr. said he heard a heart murmur. Now, I

had never had one before so I am assuming that the lupus flares

somehow affected my heart. If this has happened to anyone else,

please let me know. It started out as a mild murmur, but this year,

it was upgraded to a medium murmur.

As for the nightsweats, OH BROTHER, DO I GET THOSE!!!! I have alot of

trouble regulating heat at night, but the nightsweats are pretty bad.

I sometimes have to change my clothes in the middle of the night. I

know a few other people here who have them, too. That was one of the

first things I asked about when I joined the group, too.

I hope you have a great day and a wonderful Easter....
