Im in the District of Columbia and Im taking several medications related to Lupus (new diagnosis) and medication induced diabetes.  The meds include: methotrexate, hyrocholoquine, levemere and 10mg prednisone.  Its a heat wave this week.  Am I more vulnerable to heat because of the meds, and/or because of the conditions?
Good evening mam. The lupus medications can give generate more of heat especially prednisolone. It increases the body alertness Nd metabolic rate. One feels very active. But it is a very non-specific symptom. Lupus can get aggravated during summers. You need to make sure it is not the Malay rash. Also get your thyroid checked once if you haven't done previously. Hope the information was useful.
