The possible beneficial effect for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy of two neuroactive steroids, progesterone and pregnenolone
I was researching pregnenolone on the internet and came across this article. It may be of interest to anyone struggling with neuropathy. Pregnenolone is formed from cholesterol and is the precursor substance for numerous important endogenous hormones. Among others, progesterone, cortisol, and aldosterone

flare and more steroids
My consultant called me and has prescribed another course of
steroids
while I’m waiting for biologics. My question is, has anyone felt RA pains they usually get in smaller joints in their jaw??

Asthma uncontrolled post covid
Each time I’ve been given antibiotics and
steroids
sometimes 2 courses back to back. The time between exacerbations and infections are becoming shorter and shorter.

ICU and osteoporosis
The consensus of the various specialists is that it has been precipitated by the massive volume of
steroids
given to keep me alive as my lungs failed, as well as the effects of being completely immobile for 3 months.

Initial Obinutuzumab (flush?)Reaction leading to ER
The administering nurse had infused me with
steroids
and Benadryl, where after about 10-15 minutes I was finally able to talk and breath again. Immediately after which, I fell right to sleep.

IBS and steroids
My sister in law, newly diagnosed with PMR, is finding her IBS (irritable bowel) has worsened since taking
steroids
. Her initial dose is 15 mgms. She has also been prescribed Omeprazole. Has anyone suffered with an upset bowel whilst taking these medications?

'I thought my C-PTSD was under control. I was wrong.'
I got put on extra medication to help me gain the weight back that I lost during that flare and
steroids
to help the inflammation go down. I got used to where we are. I walked around a lot, met our neighbors and I feel like I adjusted pretty well. I like it here.

Reporting back from Dr after tongue necrosis
I have to fast for 4 hours prior, so the
steroids
will be eating my stomach alive. I find that I have to drink a lot of water and keep my stomach full to keep from having stomach pain from the
steroids
. Thank you for being there, I appreciate your knowledge and support. Jill

The beginning. A warning !
Have frequent courses of antibiotics and
steroids
, but they enable me to function . My own diagnosis of my condition is that the ultra fine dust I inhaled got into the small airways of my lungs and will remain there until the day I die.
