Need to Vent!
I am so incredibly exhausted right now and my pain is spiralling out of control :( I had my Remicade Infusion today and literally took everything that was left inside me (which wasn't much)-- after a long crash all evening in my bed, I have woken up to feel even worse and now I feel ulcers deep inside

Chronic Marijuana Use As A Potential Cause Of Hypopituitarism

Could it be RA even if blood tests say its not?
Would
cortisone
injections in wrists help? I had one in my thumb. It only lasted 4 days!

Does PMR come back again?
After a few hiccoughs I have managed to get my
cortisone
down to 2mg. I'm hoping that my PMR may be on the way out and I may be able to get off the
cortisone
completely. Is it possible to be completely 'cured' of PMR or are relapses possible?

Anyone else use predisolone and anti inflammatories together?
My doctor wants me to cut down on the
cortisone
and use more Arcoxia but sometimes the Acoxia seems to have no effect at all. I just wondered how many other people use both.

Blood results. Help, please.
Have just had blood results requested by endo. Am very pleased with her attitude and the letter sent to GP. TSH (on 50ug of levo) at 0.45 which she states she is happy about. Not worried about my BP so here's hoping this will make the GP focus on thyroid stuff and not BP. No coeliac. Low cortisol at

Did anyone notice red patch on throat before being diagnosed with under active thyroid?
I went to the doctor who had no idea what it was but prescribed me a
cortisone
cream to try which did absolutely nothing. It was around this time that I went onto levothyroxine and the condition disappeared almost immediately and has never returned.
