This is going to be a long story and I hope there is someone in this group who can offer advice. What treatment is used for skin problems? I have a sarcoidosis diagnosis (biopsy of lymph node in my 30s, now late 70s). Always had some kind of relatively minor skin problems most of my life. No one

I’ve been taking adrenal cortex, hydrocortisone, DHEA, liquorice extract. Plus tried various other things to clear toxic metals, help low stomach

Hi everyone, I have secondary adrenal insufficiency and hashimotos. I’m well medicated on hydrocortisone and T3 only. My new endo wants me to have another ACTH stim test done.

From may 2017 I was diagnosed with PRM. Sudden onset , pain initially in hips, followed by shoulders/ neck. As we all know: prednisolone was my miracle drug too! For the first 5 years or so I, mainly, managed along on a low dose, mainly under 5 mg. Gradually the unwanted side effects kicked in: hypertension

Sorry if this isn't the right platform for this - couldn't find another group and this was so unbelievably helpful all throughout my IVF journey and pregnancy. Hope someone can help! I had a caesarean 5 weeks ago and wondered if anyone had any recovery tips? I have been left with an apron/shelf tummy

hello, I am new here. I don't have a diagnosis but I have suspected some kind of auto-immune condition for over 4 years, and this year got the 'butterfly rash' and found Lupus on a search engine.

I'm just wondering if anyone has ever used fucidin cream for their balanitis?

This isn't specifically related to polymyalgia, but.... As some of you know I finally went into remission and took my final pred dose of 1/2 mg at the beginning of February this year, after a journey of about 8.5 years after diagnosis. In May I showed my doctor a rash on my ankle and we agreed I should

Hello, earlier this past summer I posted that I got off hydrocortisone and back on prednisone. I started at 5mg prednisone a dose that had for years been enough to keep my symptoms at bay. This wasn’t enough so my new rheumatologist put me to 7.5. Sloley but methodically the inflammation increased and
