maggiemoo

Hi,I am new to the site, didn't know it existed till yesterday, and could do with some feedback. I have cervical spondylitis, and spondloarthropathy,depends on my consults mood that could be pa without the skin bit. I take sulfa and an injection of methx 25m. , plus the amytriptiline and co dramamol, and i am hopefully coming to the end of a 3 week flare, but does anyone else suffer with hot flushes all over ,I am through the woman bit few years ago, but recently its been dreadful. Enought to have the pain , but the sweating is awful, does anyone know if its the arthritis, the flare up or just me.Ihave been reading the messages, and its great knowing there is someone else out there feeling the same. The advice on managing the flare has made me think,as I try to carry on which I know is not good. Thanks for reading this

Hi maggiemoo

I am glad you have joined this forum, I am sure that you will find it a great help and source of support with anything you need help with. You will find that it is very friendly and there is always someone on hand to talk to, even if they can't help with your particular need.

Hot flushes and sweats, from my experience they can be part and parcel of any inflammatory conditions - especially flare ups. It can be difficult to maintain your temp and this can fluctuate. So it can be quite normal!!

You could take something with paracetomal in to help with temp. I am sure you have done that already. I hope your flare settles down soon and so do the hot flushes.

If you need some more help, perhaps see your GP, phone your rheumy nurse if you have one.

Take care

I sweat too. It used to be the middle-aged woman thing, but these are quite different. I know that sweating is a side effect of oral steroids, and I am on those. I don't know if it is a side effect of anything else I take, which inlcudes humira, meth, naproxen and sulphasalazine. It is foul, worse than the meno sweats. I suppose I had better go and read some leaflets! Welcome to the forums, we are a friendly and well-informed lot around here. I have PA but mostly without the P, thanks to the sulpha. Take care. DD

thanks for your reply the sweats are soooooo much worse than the meno thing.Makes me want to cry, well I did the other day, just feel that enough is enough sometimes and get a bit sick of putting on the brave face,bad enough with the arthritis without extra. So glad I found this site and can have a good moan sometime.

I get really bad sweats, in fact in the last months before I went off sick, when attending patients the family would ask me if I was alright and offer me tissues, though my sweating was mainly confined to my forehead, looked like I was having a heart attack and it would literally pore out.

Even had Ambulance crews turn up, I was working on a rapid response car, and offer to carry my backs, lol.

Especially awkward for me, as I was always the one to take the heavy end etc.

These days I have trouble doing the dishes.

Brave faces are necessary, as is the odd dummy spit (as one of my chums here so beautifully puts it!) The sweating is miserable - mine tends to be worse at night, so my pillow is wrapped in a towel, I sleep on a bath sheet and I have a spare one to mop up. The pillow that is wedged between my knees is also towel-wrapped. It all helps. DD

Hi and welcome to the forum

I too have hot flushes and had them a long time. I tend to sweat most at night and end up with and without covers so disturbing sleep. I often blame medication but then being 47 wonder about menopause or even blood pressure. I don't have a temperature i have checked . My face also burns.

conclusion it is the meds

Hi Maggie, no words of wisdom, just wanted to say hi and welcome.

Tramadol caused me to have hot flushes and to sweat (plus other symptoms, so came off it.)

Hi maggiemoo I am so glad you posted this, I am exactly the same,
wet through all the time, I don't even have to do anything it just pours out of me, I to sleep with a bath sheet under me at night. But I am like this through the day also, It does get you down doesn't it,
I have mentioned it to my doctor but she said it is most probably due to my meds.
Thank you for posting this subject

Hi, I get sweaty too. I have oa and take tramadol. To be honest, since starting the tramadol I've noticed the sweating, but as it helps the pain, I'll put up with the sweating!!! Love Sue

Hi, thanks for your replies, I was thinking of taking my tramadol at night,at the mo just co-drydamol,but I am having a rethink if it can make the sweats worse, don't know which is worse, pain or the sweating.
oh well,
love maggiemoo

Hello and welcome.
I am having worse sweats at the moment than I ever did but not on Tramadol so can't blame that.One doctor said they were anxiety attacks but i can't see that myself as they come on anytime.
It does help that we are not alone although i would not wish them on anyone else.

I always read the side-effects labels that come with meds and they do, sometimes, run to so many things you end up wondering if they are all possible or whether the manufacturers are trying to protect themselves from claims etc. I am blaming the pred for mine, but it could be any one of the the things we take as we are all affected so differently. It's an added complication to a rotten situation. DD

HI Ive been having trouble with sweating since I started on Cimzia (biologic) I find it so embarrassing I have to wear black all the time at the minute as otherwise I end up with sweat patches all over its not just under arm :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: I am running out of clothes that I can wear and rarely go anywhere due to the embarrassment. I dont know whats worse right now not going out because of sweating or not going out because I cant walk!! :roll:

Hopefully soemone will find a remedy for this soon xx

Hi, I had a total hystorectomy when I was 30, for endometrosis. That meant, of course, I went straight into the menopause and I could'nt have HRT for 3 months, as I needed to make sure the endo had gone.

Oh I remember those awful sweats, often when I walked into a room with strangers. And the nights of getting so hot with wet sheets. Tramadol does make me sweat, but not like that!!!
Love Sue

Hi Maggie

I don't know if you take any blood pressure tablets but after a trial period I found that the 'new' bp tablet I was taking was making sweat profusely. It was getting me down because all I had to do was move and I was drenched through ... so after 6 weeks I went back to the GP. I thought it was the tramadol at first. I'm on a different bp med and it doesn't make me get half as hot.

I only get flare up if I push myself too much; don't rest when I'm feeling rough - so try and listen to your body and take your meds as prescribed.
