Has anyone gone through the treatment and had a bad reaction to sweat? I will be starting Carac on Feb 3.  Thanks! Staciepants Fri, 18 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT I exercised all through my treatment and it didn't seem to make things worse. I live in the PNW and only had to do my face and chest for 2 weeks and my hands for 4. The only slight problem I had was a little nausea and fatigue. freckles39 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 1/19/2008 freckles39 wrote:I exercised all through my treatment and it didn't seem to make things worse.

The only slight problem I had was a little nausea and fatigue.I also exercised all through the treatment as I was housebound for around 6 to 8 weeks. I came to no harm and in fact felt better as I did not let the treatment take over my whole life. I did my face, chest and neck at the same time it was painful and horrible and I could not face the world, but got over it. No harm will come from sweating just take a warm facecloth and gently wash your face etc.  Samra Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT Thank you for the reply and the advice. I am sure the treatment will be worth all the pain and discomfort in the end. Staciepants Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT
