Then they are used in high doses IV;you do not take them long term for tm. They are used to reduce swelling,etc. Cheryl --- On Wed, 11/10/10, Janice Nichols <[email protected]> wrote: From: Janice Nichols <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [TMIC] {TMIC}sweating To: [email protected], [email protected] Date: Wednesday, November 10, 2010, 11:31 PM #yiv1152460922 #yiv1152460922yiv30611879 v\00003a* {} #yiv1152460922 #yiv1152460922yiv30611879 o\00003a* {} #yiv1152460922 #yiv1152460922yiv30611879 w\00003a* {} #yiv1152460922 #yiv1152460922yiv30611879 .yiv1152460922yiv30611879shape {} #yiv1152460922 #yiv1152460922yiv30611879 st1\00003a*{} That is interesting. Maybe I need to request that I get on steroids. Janice From: Emily Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 10:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [TMIC] {TMIC}sweating One of my husbands first symptoms was night sweats. The first time it happened I thought he had wet the bed because I couldn’t believe that someone could sweat that much. This continued off and on for about 4 months before any other symptoms occurred. He was treated with steroids and the night sweats went away. Recently, he had a relapse and the night sweats came back. He went back on steroids….night sweats went away.

Before TM I sweated at night because I took medications for other conditions. It didn’t get worse when I got TM so I would sugest we look at the medications for an answer to at least some of these nite-sweat problems.

My lesions are L4, L5 and S1 and now since TM, the only place I sweat is my head and when I sweat, I sweat profusely, I mean to the point that it drips off my nose and down the sides of my head... I sweat no other place on my body, even during the summer on hot days outside. I get warm, but I do not sweat. No underarm sweat, nothing.....

No one has ever had an explanation for this.A couple of docs even suggested that maybe I always had this and just noticed it after tm! Cheryl in Easthampton , MA
