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

Depo-Medrone injections
Does anyone have advice on the best way to taper down Depo-Medrone injections. Since last February I have been on 120mg starting on once a month, then every 5 weeks, this time it is 6 weeks and I am longing for it. Should I be cutting back quantity rather than time between injections. I go to my GP

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

Seen hormone specialist, more confused than ever...!
So I've been for my long overdue annual visit to my hormone doctor in Belgium and I have to admit I received quite a lot of confusing and even contradictory advice that I would love for members to comment on: First of all, when it comes to my massive weight gain (+25 kg) since being treated with high

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

Overactive bladder treatment
Since radiation and chemo treatment I have an overactive bladder. My oncologist put me on oxybutynin about a year ago, but this had little impact and a few negative side effects for me. I go back to my oncologist on Friday, so am willing to try again. Any suggestions. I read there are a range of alternatives

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

IM depo medrone
Hooray, I’ve finally had my depo medrone injection today! The Rheumatologist is 50/50 as to whether it will help as I don’t have an official diagnosis....this is almost like a test to see if it helps. But I’m trying to remain optimistic! I just wondered how long it normally takes to notice relief? My

How strong is a Depo Medrone injection does anybody know?
In March I had my first long-lasting Depo Medrone steroid injection (standard dose 40mg per mil x 3 = 120). It worked very well and wore off after about 3 months. Rheumatologist said it was the equivalent of about 4 mg Pred per day and would last 6 months. I just had another injection two weeks ago

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
