hot and cold flashes for women

i know that low grade temps. are very common with crohns. i guess this is to all the females dealing with crohns. my mother started in her early fifties going thru menopas. and i have had problems with cycle and docs have said its the prednisone. but has any one gone tru the change early with crohns? and has anyone had a burning feeling in the tatas? it feels like they are getting ready for milk right before you have a child. they are so sore.and wondering if it might be meds or just the dang crohns. my gi didn't know what it was. so i guess its not the crohns. but who would know better you guys or the docs. because sometimes they don't know all the same thing . so maybe someone out there could tell me what they think it is. or maybe you are dealing with something i don't know is wrong with my self.and it has been a while since i have seen a obgyn. so if it is serious i should drag my self to an ob.

I think you should go to your obgyn and ask to have your hormones checked. Could you possibly be pregnant? How much pred are you on? Burning tatas are NEVER a good thing. I don't want to scare you, but there is such a thing as inflamitory breast disease that you sould have your gyn check. It is a very agressive disease and should be ruled out as soon as possible. Don't wait on this, please.

I was on prednisone for 4 monthes, and that was not a sympton for me. Hope it does get better. I agree with Fraz and check with the obgyn. Good luck.

I had sore, swollen boobs when I first started on the Prednisone, but not burning. I think you should take Fraz's advice and see your gyn. A low-grade fever was definitely one of my symptoms before I was diagnosed and treated.

I always run a low fever with or without a flare up and also my blood pressure is so when I go in the hospital the nurses will check mine several times even go and get another tester just to make sure its the right reading, I tell them it runs low but they say its way to low, I have no energy but have never been offered any meds for it.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
