Got cortisol saliva test results back - would really appreciate feedback and advice from others!
I just got my test results back from Genova Diagnostics. I have to say they came as a complete surprise to me as I was convinced I had adrenal fatigue. I realise they are all out of range, but wonder how common this is in a person who 1. has been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue in the past and treated

Dosage of Depo- medrol injection
Does anyone know what the equivalent oral dose of Pred. Is to a 40 mg depo- medrol injection? I am having yet another flare and usually this injection heads it off without my having to change my usual oral dose( 11 mgs). The first few days after the injection I was feeling much better but now seem to

Would like to hear about other people's experiences with adrenal fatigue
I'm currently waiting for the results of my adrenal stress test (saliva) but would like to hear more about other people's experiences when it comes to dealing with adrenal fatigue. I was diagnosed with this condition seven years ago by a Hertoghe doctor in Belgium and put on Medrol. I was told a usual

Should I get a full body CT scan?
I initially thought to post this in an anxiety group but you guys have been really helpful and know about the wide range of Hashimoto’s symptoms. So I have a big fear of lymphoma- I think it started because my friend’s father and another friend’s mother were diagnosed within months of each other. One

Genova adrenal stress test
So, I just received my test kit from above-mentioned provider. I weaned off Medrol for adrenal fatigue a couple of years ago and would like to know where I stand before possibly going on any kind of adrenal support. I am currently not taking anything for my adrenals. Some symptoms suggest I should, while

Overactive bladder treatment
I read there are a range of alternatives including Tolterodine (
Detrol
), Solifenacin (Vesicare) and Trospium (Sanctura). Has anyone tried these?

Started Trial today
It was kind of a rough start. I got as far as 3.9 ml in on the O drip and I felt like I was burning from the inside out. I have been flushed before but this was 100 times worse. My vitals went south and everyone came running. They stopped the infusion and up the dosage of steroids, benedryl etc.

PPMS & Living my Best Life
Hello, Thank you for dropping in! Dx’d with RRMS in January of ‘15 and over the course of that next 12 months it was changed to PPMS. I’ve tried several rounds of Solu-Medrol, in the beginning few months, 11 rounds of Tysabri, but taken off due to being JC+, Copaxone for another year and have been on

Medrol
I saw my rheumy this week and she prescribed medrol (4mg strength) to replace the prednisone, the reason being that the medrol tablet has 2 crosses making it easier to divide in 1mg than pred (We only get 5mg pred in my country). Does anybody have experience of medrol?

Have I developed "doctor phobia" or what...?!
Today I saw my new GP for a follow-up visit. My old one moved away and I stopped going to the practice for no particular reason. On Sept 6, during my first visit since July '17, my BP was slightly raised (170/92, heart rate 90). I was put on perindopril 5 mg daily and told to come back today. Interestingly

High blood pressure...would appreciate input!
I just had my third GP appointment in less than three weeks. I've had high blood pressure for years. It was first discovered back in 2000 when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I was then told it would normalise once my TSH normalised on levothyroxine. However, it never fully has so, back in 2013, I

Should I Be Off Steroids?
In August, 2017 I was diagnosed with PMR and began receiving 80mg Depo Medrol injections on a weekly basis. This dose, (which averaged 11.8mg daily), totally controlled my symptoms and brought my CRP from 50 to less than 2.9 and my ESR from 51 to 15. By June, 2018 (month 10) I had successfully tapered

Question about MRI
Hi to you all I’m very confused about my MRI results from last week. I had an MRI last September and then had a suspected relapse in December. I was pretty ill and had weakness and pain in one of my arms. My neuro, an MS specialist, gave me a 5 day course of Solumedrol (which gave me some cardiac issues

Balance Issues
Hello all! I have RRMS and had my last relapse in December. My symptoms have gotten much worse over the past year. I had a course of solumedrol in December and I started Ocrevus in February. After getting over the flu like symptoms from the two half doses I have returned to “baseline.” The only issue

Flare on Actemra
I’ve had monthly Actemra infusions since December and added leflunomide in February for primary diagnosis of PMR, secondary RA due to positive CCP test. (I was misdiagnosed as RA only for 2 years, finally figured out a year ago, so a 3 year journey thus far. Enbrel, Humira and Orencia were all ineffective

I finished it!
After my last post while going through solumedrol treatments, I promised a more positive post this time. I finally finished crocheting the blanket that would not be completed. Tracking the butterflies down took longer than crocheting the actual blanket.

TIL Clinical Trial: Day +14
Quick update while my darling is sleeping, which you know is a rarity in a hospital. Today is Day +14 since the TIL infusion (that's how they count. Zero day is transplant day.) I'm including a photo of the giant, heavy, metal casing for the nitrogen frozen cells that came 100mg/bag in 4 bag doses.
