Title: Body heat due to transfusion and medicines
Post by: Angel's Mom on August 30, 2012, 06:36:25 AM
Dear all,

My 3 yr old daughter sweats a lot. Even when we feel cold, she is sweating. She feels too much heat in her body.
I have to make her wear only thin cotton clothes all the time.

Pls advise - is it normal for thals? and what should i do?

Thanks.
Rima

It maybe normal, I too experience warm climate a lot of times.

As a side note, just to eradicate out the possibility, get her FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar - Diabetes test) done the next time you plan for transfusion. When I wasn't detected as a diabetic due to Thal, in the end times, I sweated too much and that the weather was extreme cold (it was winter running!) though I had to sleep under full fan due to sugar levels being high.

Don't be scared to get the test done, 99.9% it won't be, but just to eliminate out the possibility and be sure.
