Are high doses of prednisone dangerous for my cirrhosis?
I recently started getting what looked like canker sores which eventually covered the inside of both cheeks, tongue, and gums. I saw someone in my doctors office who gave me dexamethasone and carafate mouth rinses. They did nothing. I saw my dentist, who was completely puzzled and sent me to an oral

Steroid pump for secondary adrenal insufficiency with traumatic brain injury
Hi. I’m new on this site but I wanted to share my AI stories, answer some questions and hopefully find some more resources to help us with this challenging condition. I’m reading that a lot of people on this site seem to be taking their steroids orally. I too was started on oral medication, dexamethasone

The story so far lol
Hi all, I eventually got a phone call from my consultant, yesterday. He said my esr was raised but not too much. He is referring me to an endocrinologist, but still maintains that because my serum electrolytes have been ok, that my adrenal glands should be functioning ok... However, he will still refer

I was diagnosed with ITP April 2018 with a platelet count of 1,000. It's been a rough journey trying different medications. I tried prednisone, dexamethasone, Rituxin and nothing worked. I had an IVIG in the hospital and my counts rose to 12,000. I am currently taking N-plate every week and its keeping

Zytiga: "Phase II pilot study of the prednisone to dexamethasone switch ..."

Zytiga plus Dexamethasone
Anyone any had experience of this combination as a replacement for Zytiga/Prednizolone whilst on Zoladex please? My PSA had remained stable around 100 -110 for 6 months but then rose swiftly to 236 over 2 months! So, last week, one CT scan and one bone scan later I am being advised by my MO 'No measurable

Severe canker sores with Ibrance
I’ve tried almost every over-the-counter and dexamethasone and magic mouse any other ideas? It really is difficult to go back-and-forth on the cycles of Ibrance. Anybody trying a lower dosage or an alternate medicine or anything else?

Personal experience with Cushing’s Disease (hyperCortisolism) and with hypothroidism and hypothyroidism.
This was actually a response I wrote to a user that asked how hyperthyroidism is in tandem with hyperCortisolism. It’s long, I hope readers realize I am not an expert in what I have written, but I have lived it! Some of the way this response is worded may sound out of context, I copied it from my original
