Length of relapse
I'm starting to get a little concerned about the relapse that I am currently having. Although I have seen slight improvement, and most of my energy has returned, I'm still not back to my "normal". It has been close to a month when my symptoms first started, and two weeks since I've been off solumedrol

Help....
Has anyone returned to normal walking after lots of weakness and numbness in both legs? I have had weakness and numbness/stiffness even after solumedrol. I'm afraid I may never return....š¢

hypertension - too much NDT or licorice root?
I have been on Adrenaplex for the past few months, after successfully (and finally) managing to wean myself of Medrol (put on it in late 2011 after being diagnosed with adrenal fatigue by Hertoghe doctor). Adrenaplex contains licorice root, and I know you are supposed to avoid that if you suffer from

Solumedrol
I am so thankful for the support I am feeling from everyone on here. I have been in the hospital for about 4 days on a solumedrol iv. I am still having numbness, tingling, weakness in the legs. I know everyone is different, but if anyone is willing to share their experiences with this, I would greatly

Possible Adrenaline Rushes While Tapering Depo-Medrol
As many readers are aware, I began a weekly regimen of depo-medrol injections for PMR in late August of 2016. See my 3 month old post: āDepo-Medrol Injections for the Treatment of PMRā. My initial maintenance dose was 80 mg per week which resulted in a steroid pulse that began at 20 mg on the day

would appreciate input on latest lab results
I'd really appreciate some input on my latest labs. I have been on Thyroid-S from Thailand for the past few months, as that is much cheaper than Erfa, Armour etc. I like Thyroid-S, and have felt good on it, although I find it rather weak (possibly because of all the fillers, including cellulose), which

Knee Surgery and lymphedema and other
I have mild lymphedema and lupus. I take a shot once a month of depo medrol for my pain and have found that it takes down the swelling in my legs. If I go over my month it starts swelling again. I also have a condition called Lipodermatosclerosis where the skin hardens around my ankles and now is starting

The differences between Prednisone, Prednisolone, and Medrol.
jwb43, When you take prednisone, it must first be metabolized in the liver to its active form, prednisolone. And while oral prednisone and prednisolone are used interchangeably, the latter (for obvious reasons) is more readily absorbed by the body. Medrol, is a brand name for methylprednisolone, which

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

Update on So sick and tired.
I saw my MS Dr on Monday. I absolutely love my Dr. He is so kind and caring, honest and thorough. I just don't like the drive, 47 miles each way. I picked up all my MRI's I have had since the summer. He looked at all of them. He was totally shocked with how fast the progression is. Up until recently,

Hi Folks, I am between a rock and a hard place at the moment and wondered if anyone out there was horribly sensitive to prednisalone . I am sero negative with suspected Sjogrens but also with a host of other medical problems seemingly all related. I am also extremely drug sensitive making controling

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
