I've been dealing with high cortisol for the several years (possibly more) and cannot seem to get it under control any means. My last salivary cortisol is the highest it's ever been (will list figures below) and my sleep is now seriously impaired. I'm sick of being told it's "stress", I'm unable to

MRI results
Prior to my daughter's MRI of her hips, dexamethasone was prescribed by her primary because her pain and swelling was worsening. Steroids worked. However, MRI showed negative for arthritis. She has multiple symptoms pointing to arthritis and I would like to know if dexamethasone can alter MRI scan.

Dexamethasone
Has anyone been prescribed Dexamethasone. If so what were your results and side affects. I have read that after the initial dose you don't take it again for two months. My hematologist says he will prescribe this for me if my platelets drop below 30,000. Lowest I've been so far is 36,000.

Advice
Hi, I am 57 and, up until last year, have had good health. About this time last year, I noticed that I had lost a lot of strength, and that after about 4pm I would start to stiffen up, this got to the point where I could hardly move my hand from my mouse to my keyboard. These symptoms got worse, and

steroids
Hi there, I am 2 years post oesophagectomy, and I am now on steroids dexamethasone, but I am having terrible rashes on my legs and arms that keep on bleeding. I am on a 2mg daily dose, but the doctor has advised to go to a 1mg daily dose. Has anyone else had a problem with steroids?

Dexamethasone Suppression Test and Period?
Repost, because my first one did not receive any responses. Hi, everyone! I had a dexamethasone suppression test the other week. Has anyone ever had a change in the periods due to taking steroids? I'm not sure if it's related or not... I took the dexamethasone on Thursday night and I got my period

The difference between steroids like Dexamethasone and Medrol Dose Pack, plus radiation of lymph nodes behind the trachea.
My cousin's husband is undergoing radiation. They are giving him 13 spot radiation treatments in a few areas. They found some lymph nodes behind his trachea which they are radiating. They also are radiating 3 thoracic vertebrae, 5, 6, and 7. They are doing all the radiation at one time. I have a lot

Newbie and Confused with my results
I'm taking loratadine
betamethasone
twice a day to pacify the hives so far its doing its job. Thanks. I really want to ignore the labs because I'm not feeling anything (well aside from hives) but this is an autoimmune disease.

Suspected Cushing's: High cortisol levels on saliva test, now low cortisol after 8 months on Levothyroxine. Can this happen with Cushing's?
Hi all. For a number of years I've been increasingly ill and earlier this year a doctor suggested I be checked for Cushing's as I have many of the primary symptoms, including huge weight gain around my stomach (despite genuinely eating little food due to nausea), the stria (reddish purple stretch marks
