Trembling as a side effect of steroids
Soon after receiving depo-medrol injections for PMR, I began to suffer from a list of side effects that included trembling. Some days it was mild and didn’t last long; while on other days I shook all over and it lasted for hours. It was a detestable side effect that significantly interfered with my

adrenal fatigue supplements
I have tried several supplements for adrenal fatigue in the past year, determined not to go back on prescription drug Medrol if it can be avoided. I took Medrol for more than four years, but would prefer a more natural way to support my adrenal glands and hopefully restore adrenal function. Some supplements

what could have caused this sudden change in symptoms?
I have been on Thyroid-S for the past year and doing really well on it; actually better than on Armour and Erfa. Given the price of prescription NDT drugs, and all the problems in recent years, I was happy to have found a very good and reliable alternative available OTC. Earlier this year, I also managed

HI, I'M BACK!
Hi, everyone. I have been off-line for a few weeks because the nerve pain I had been experiencing took over my life. Every time that someone touched my right palm, inner elbow, or shoulder, my back arched up like a cat and I felt as if I was being stabbed with knives from my shoulders to my fingers

35/M Severe hair loss, memory loss, high B 12, weakness, without diagnosis please help!!!
The rheumatologist tried to tell me that I might have fibromyalgia . They prescribed Cymbalta, which I refused to take because I do not believe in treating symptoms without a formal diagnosis. I just went to gluten-free and non-GMO, I felt better for a couple of days, but things have gotten worse.

after weaning off prescription drugs for adrenal fatigue
I have been wondering a lot about adrenal fatigue lately. Being the patient of a Hertoghe doctor, I told myself for a long time that I could not do better, and that I had to do whatever the doctor told me to. However, lately, I have come to question some of those things. It seems that most if not all

Why are my feet numb?
Over the last week or so my toes on both feet and my right foot have become increasingly numb, what could this be? I saw rheumatologist today and she said let her know if it's getting worse, but it's got worse even since this morning! I do have back problems and often sciatica but my back is fine at

how to interpret thyroid labs?
I saw my doctor (a Hertoghe doctor) last week. My thyroid labs (from two weeks ago): TSH <0.01 (0.2-4.0) FT3 2.2 (1.2-4.3) FT4 0.9 (0.8-1.5) My doctor said that, as long as my TSH remains low, that shows that my thyroid meds are working, and that FTs are individual, constantly fluctuating and don't
