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.

Solumedrol joy
I'm experiencing all of the joys of solumedrol. I'm sitting in my living room at 2 am after my first of 3 solumedrol treatments. I always have a relapse in the spring (if it would ever stop raining here in Utah long enough for spring to arrive). Not sure why solumedrol makes the pain in my legs so intense

Ocrevus today and now insomnia?!?
I had my 3rd Ocrevus infusion today and I can't sleep tonight. The only thing I can figure is the small amount of solumedrol that they give at the beginning of the infusion is causing my insomnia. Has anyone else experienced this?

Low cortisol levels thyroid hormone levels, especially on T3/NDT
I find this article on low cortisol, and the interaction between thyroid hormone and cortisol, very interesting, especially since it was written by a doctor able to think outside the box: http://hormonerestoration.com/Cortisol.html A few months ago, I weaned myself off Medrol (put on 4 mg daily by hormone

SLE from 2013
My wife (age 43) was diagnosed with SLE - Nephrotic syndrome class IV. I was on and off on Wysolene (5mg to 40 mg at times) and Immutil 360 (4 times a day) However, in remission the doses have reduced. Last 2-3 months my general physician stopped all my medicines since I was in complete remission.

Adrenal fatigue - a chronic or reversible condition?
I have been asking myself a lot of question lately about adrenal fatigue and the best way to treat it: I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue in late 2011, by a so called Hertoghe doctor in Belgium who used blood and 24 h urine analyses to diagnose it. At the time, I had spent 11 years on thyroxine without

Recurring pericarditis
I’ve had recurring pericarditis for almost 7 years. I’m treated as having an autoimmune disease as if I have rheumatoid arthritis. I have “flare ups” almost every month, or 6 weeks at the longest. Every time I have a flare I use a medrol dose pack to get the pain back under control. I’ve tried prednisone

T3 and insulin resistance?
I have been diagnosed with insulin resistance (fasting blood glucose and insulin levels in range but close to upper normal limit). Symptoms are difficulty losing weight (I'm overweight), cravings and increased appetite. My doctor suggested Metformin, but I preferred to try a supplement instead and opted

Prescription cortisone for adrenal fatigue?
I'd really appreciate some feedback on this. Diagnosed with adrenal fatigue by Hertoghe doctor in Belgium in 2011 (using 24 h urine analysis). Put on 4 mg of Medrol and told I could raise to 6 or even 8 mg daily if needed; apparently, 8 mg daily is the equivalent of 40 mg of bioidentical hydrocortisone

TMJ Misery
Greetings all. I am new on this website. I have had severe TMJ problems for many years now, since age about 10. I am 55 now. 5 years of braces were an attempt with no help. I have just completed a Medrol treatment and am taking Carbamazepine. Narcotics do not help much, only a bandaid anyway.

Pain
So, I want to understand this disease and what others are feeling. I have been taking Medrol for about four months now, started at 15 and reduced too fast and went up to 24, and have been on a slow taper ever since. Now down to 17mg. At 20-24 I was almost pain free, but not really. I just felt so much
