Cool A few questions......

Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you all strong and happy!

Recently I've had really bad problems with my head heating up - sweat will just pour down - I won't be hot anywhere else, but it feels like my head is on fire! I use a bag of ice to cool it down, but wonder what it could be.

I've also noticed that since taking my cellcept @ 2000 mgs, my appetite is totally GONE! I have to literally choke down food. I am still @ 60/40 pred, so wonder I'm no longer hungry.

Lastly, my ankles have been HUGE recently - the size of my calves.
I called my neuro to try and get some water pills but he wants me to go see my PCP = he doesn't want to "mask" anything and says there is no reason for me to retain 10-15 lbs of water weight in my ankles........

Does ANY of this sound familiar to any of you? I know it's silly, but I am afraid of congestive heart failure or something like that. I eat almost no salt, no soda, take my vitamins regularly and get on my EFX when I have the time/energy.......

Thanks!
Erin
