Been sweating like crazy, mainly at night, sometimes I have to get up and change my pjs. I've noticed that the areas where I sweat the most, I'm getting rashes n breakouts. I've been having very sensitive n tender scalp plus little bums on my scalp I feel like I'm over producing sebum! Also my breast is very tender!
Is there any one going through the same or similar??

Started very low dose...50mgs & unfortunately it wasn't enough to counteract my over active immune system so mouth sores & skin issues weren't getting any better...I have a great rhemetologist that knew I hated meds & increased it to 75mgs...I take it every morning with my HRT & vitamin D....no dizziness! I've been on this drug for 5 years now so far so good. I must say though I have never been allergic to bees in my whole life however have found that blast doses of prednisone ( which I hate) are necessary to overcome the allergy...

If you are on prednisone, it will change your hormones so night sweats & breast tenderness are a result of the drug...as far itching, unfortunately, because your skin is the largest organ on your body, it stands to reason that because it has connective tissue, there may be rashes & itch for no reason...I'm on immuran, forever & when i have issues it is usually skin related or bronchitis...this is when I have a blast dose of prednisone...seems to slow down my immune response & allow my body to catch up...hope this helps
