34 yr old with Temperal Arteritis?
Anyone out there younger with this diagnosis? I believe this is what I'm dealing with but docs don't even want to entertain the idea because I'm too young. I'm 34. I'm feeling lost & scared. I'm on 4mg dose pack of Medrol steroid. It isn't helping much. I took this same dose pack a month ago & it helped

Depo Medrol shot for Flare
Hi everyone, I am on Actemra for PMR. I am also currently on 4mg of Rayos (time released Prednisone). I recently had a flare because I reduced too quickly. Completely my fault as I was feeling so great. The drop to 3mg was too fast and against Dr orders (and the Aunties). The next morning I could

Are there any PMR patients in the United States taking Medrol instead of prednisone? Will U.S. doctors prescribe Medrol instead of prednisone if requested by the PMR patient?

Prednisone vs Prednisolone
I don't understand why prednisone is prescribed when prednisolone is available. Why do doctors in the U.S. prescribe prednisone when Medrol is available. If the liver has to convert the prednisone into prednisolone why not just take the prednisolone directly? I suspect that in the U.S. that prednisone

Free of PMR
Hi, in 2011 i was diagnosed with PMR and started with 16mgr medrol. Everytime we lowered the dose to 4mgr, i had to go back to 12mgr or 8 mgr because i was back in pain and my blood results were bad. End 2015 i've stopped the medication and went to another doctor. She put me on a detox and an other way

Would appreciate feedback on doctor
I realise this may sound strange but, lately, I have been trying to figure out if my so called hormone doctor is a good doctor or not, at least as far as I'm concerned...so I'd appreciate any feedback on the treatment so far (first visit to doctor in late 2011): - I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue

Living with PMR
I'm a 53 year old female suffering from PMR for a year and a half now. I am down to 6mg a day and feeling pretty good. I have learned when you go down in your dosage to do it real slow. I got very swollen and puffy in my face, tummy and back of the neck. I didn't even recognize myself. I have decreased

ANA used to be 1:1320 but is now negative. Thoughts?
Hi. I'm new here. Hope that explains the slightly long intro :). In 2014, my ANA was ~1:1320. I was diagnosed with ITP and SLE; I was in the ER 3 times and was found on at least four occasions to have severely low platelets (2-6 range). I was initially treated with prednisone, and, since it proved to

How much adrenal cortex is there in whole adrenal...?
Does anyone have any idea how much adrenal cortex whole adrenal approximately contains? I have been on 250 mg of adrenal cortex extract for the past year, after weaning off Medrol for adrenal fatigue, and have felt wonderful on it. But I have just started taking a supplement containing, among other things

Likely GCA but not yet diagnosed and scared to death!
Firstly, I want to say this is a wonderful and valuable forum. Although this is my first post, I think I've already read just about every post in your archives. My autoimmune history is long and too involved to explain but two years ago, I developed dramatic new symptoms which presented like PMR/GCA
