Dexamethasone versus prednisone
I have been trying to get my Endocrinologist to adjust the dose of prednisone so that I can take a steroid that is better for my adrenals. Since I have been taking between 8.5 and 9 mg of prednisone I am now to take 6.5 mg of prednisone and 1/2 of 0.5 mg of Dexamethasone. Which to me is 0.25 of dexamethasone

HHD, 30 years+
Hello everyone, I suffer from HHD for more than 30 years. I applied for the disability almost 2 years ago and I do not know at this time if it will be approved. Because I am not allowed to work during this process and I can not get any benefits, even if I am American and can not afford insurance (too

Non-PCa Prescription Drugs: Thalidomide / Lenalidomide (Revlimid)
This post was triggered by Dale's post: "Leibowitz Protocol". "Dr. Bob" may have moved on during the intervening 10 years, but I was intrigued by his use of Thalidomide & Lenalidomide to inhibit angiogenesis. Tumors cannot outgrow their blood supply unless they make extensions to existing blood vessel

Not sure how to interpret results of new tests
Labs both late or missed PSA this time around. First time tested T and DHT. Look like good results to me, but don't have any experience with them so thought I would throw them out her and see if I am evaluating them right. DHT--<5 L T, total,LC/MS/MS ---7L Due for next Lupron shot Monday. Adding Xtandi

CRPC & Avodart [Dutasteride].
New study below. Some may recall that I'm in favor of shutting off all escape paths while on ADT - e.g. via Zytiga, Casodex, Simvastatin & Avodart. If you are closing the door, close the windows too. The conventional view is that since 5alpha-reductase converts testosterone [T] to dihtdrotestosterone

1 week after taking Methotrexate
For the last two months I was on Dexamethasone 4mg and was able to be normal. I could walk, run and even use my hands as before. It was a normal Christmas and New Year. However, my Rheumatologist took me of them. Slowly my RA returned and I am back to square one...with serve joint pains in the hands

I have ringworm
I've been working for a veterinary clinic in Texas for more than 3 years. Recently, I noticed some painful and itchy rashes on my palms and especially between my fingers. My doctor diagnosed me with ringworm and said that I might become infected with the tinea fungus found in dogs. Then he prescribed

New Rheumatologist, but where to now??
I have been reading with great interest whisperits last post on his visit to the sleep consultant and also Twitchy's last CTD appointment. Both just show basically what a mess we are all in with regards to treatment and help as we fall helplessly between all specialities. It is the rare medic who sticks

Foreskin a little tight only when fully erect
Hi I’m new to the forum and wanted to see if anyone has experienced this before that can help. My PCP told me I had mild balinitis and was prescribed Clotrimazole and Hydrocortizone which helped but now my foreskin gets a bit tight when I’m fully erect only and my penis head gets real reddish/purplish

Sleep
Just want share a positive thought ,I am now on 2mg of Dexamethasone daily and slept last night for a whole 51/2hours .Feeling like a human being at last .Sleep is so important when you are unwell and steroids that supposedly make you better do not allow you access to sleep, how you are meant to feel
