I never knew Prednisone had a side effect of possible overheating and or hot flashes. I am pretty much in the clear on the hot flashes at "Level" 70 but I sure can get overheated! I can tell you all right now that I am planning to take a lot more baths or showers with cooler water temps than I have been. I was incorrectly presuming that the hotter the better for fighting inflammation. I'll try going the other way and see if I notice any difference in sleeping.

I know I always used to feel better in the heat, it seemed to make my joints feel looser. That was a long time ago. Being stuck in a hot, stuffy apartment and getting constant sweats, then going on prednisone to stop a flare and getting the side effects does make me wonder if I am being partly affected by the heat. When you live in a cold country where the winter and cold lasts much longer than the days of warmth it seems just wrong to complain about the heat. I had never gotten hot flashes after menopause. Why they have started in the last few years is beyond me. But certainly, the humidity makes it far worse. Here, we were used to a dry heat, but a long spring and early summer of rains has made it humid now. The tradeoff was our wildfire season wasn't as bad. It seems like you just can't win. I pretty much enjoy getting out at night, but that is when the storms usually roll in. Great work around Annee!
