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

M-Day! š¬
I gave myself a āsharp scratchā with the pointy end of the Metoject Pen this morning, overseen by a gleeful husband waiting for the blood curdling scream š±. What an anti-climax! I didnāt feel a thing & frantically looked around to find out where the orange liquid had gone! If anyone is new to the injections

Hi š
Does anyone take a Vitamin D supplement with injectable Methotrexate? I have all my Metoject pens, folic acid & all the kit. I have a blood test request for whoever will do it & an appointment with my GP on 17 May to talk to him about what the surgery can do to help (notice! very politely put š). Tomorrow

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
Iāve had recurring pericarditis for almost 7 years. Iām treated as having an autoimmune disease as if I have rheumatoid arthritis. I have āflare upsā 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. Iāve 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

Flare
I ave only been taking Medrol for about three months, and because of the idiocy of my Rheumy, who had me taper to quickly, I have already had two flares. I was ok on 18 mg but flared at 16mg. Took myself back to 20mg at which I am ok. Not totally pain free, but ok. I have been taking the higher dose

Sulfasalazine, feeling much worse
I started three weeks ago. My health and symotons are much worse now. Feel like my health is declining and in a full on flare with hands curling again. Only other drug is depo medrol shot. Is this normal that it gets worse before it gets better?
