Erin, how did your xray come out? How are you doing with your back? I haven't asked in awhile, I'm sorry. The last I had heard, they said it was a bulged disk, I think? They were going to have you do therapy, how is that going, or not?

Default Haha!

Hi Erin! Haha.... Sexy beast u are... Though I would think more like a sexy angel....

Didn't know we can botox off the sweat. Thought its only great for wrinkles. Haha... I'm currently undergoing some sort of herbal treatment since I'm still undiagnosed, for the excessive sweat, am still waiting to see if there's any effect. On certain days its better though. Am worried that I'll soak my new phone too. =X

But I so agree with the able to walk and do things!!! Lol. I currently fall in the super thin and too tired to walk, talk category and I am so waiting for it to get better!

They will go away and I will be albe to make it through the night without sweating............. My neuro is going to reduce my pred to 20 after my next round of IV IG - hopefully that will help in reducing all of the effects!
All in all though pred has been a life saver! I would rather be overweight and sweaty and ABLE to do things than super thin and too tired to walk, talk, breath....all the rest!

Maybe we can have botox shots on our hands and feet - I've heard that it helps with excessive sweating.....now I know we can't have it done on our faces, but it may help with all of the rest of it!

Big hugs!
Erin

Default Hey Becky!

Hi Becky, I've asked about mine before. As I've had mild sweaty palms since I was young, the doc seems to think that its related so its not of virus or anything. Just that since my symptoms started, the mild has gone to dripping with sweat literally, and I simply hate it. In the past could still get away with wiping my hands just before I shake hands, and in airconditioned rooms, its usually beter. However, ac doesn't seem to help nowadays.

I've tried the baby powder though, and i loved the feeling of it feeling silky, for a while. That great feeling faded quite fast though, and I'm left with sweaty hands and feet again!

BIG Hugs to all of you, hope we all get our conditions sorted out!!!

as Annie posted, there can be lots of reasons for the sweats - mine seems to have been that virus. It started just being night sweats (not hormones on me, though I'm at "that age"), then progressed to daytime as well. It has stopped since I got on the anti viral meds.
