Emer. Room/Last Night/Pneumonia/prescribed azirothmycin
Hi Everyone, Thanks for the good information on quilones and medrol. I am taking methylpredisolone and I don't have as bad a reaction, as happens with prednisone. They gave it to me during a flare, by injection. Last night at the ER, I was diagnosed with pneumonia. The doctor prescribed azirothmycin

Is my immune system on the blink?
I've had PMR for four years, I started on 20mg of Medrol and am now down to 4mg ( there have a few flares along the way) I want to reduce the dose even further if possible. I'm feeling good as regards muscle pain but in the last few months have been plagued by minor infections. A bad sinus attack, oral

Found link to Christine Northrup and information on adrenal dysfunction
Hi Everyone, I found the link from Christine Northrup on adrenal dysfunction. Her advice is good and I find it helps.A major difference is that we are not dealing with stress related Adrenal dysfunction, it is medicine related, but the advice is good, it seems. Another bad storm here and I missed

Hi.thank everyone for their support last weekend.
Have been to the rheumatologist this week and had the methetextrate injection on Monday and the Cushing's type symptoms don't seem so evident, nor as bad. Very bad weekend. and I have had a couple of bad days this week. The advice is best, if you feel this -- give yourself "leave" to relax. This

Is it possible to have methetextrate withdrawal, which includes heavy fatigue? Or is it the adrenals not highly functioning?
Missed the appt. w/Dr. this Wed. for injection of methetextrate and slowly since Wed. have been feeling more and more fatigued. today it's very bad. I took the 3 mgs of medrol. I called the Dr. and asked about taking 2 more mgs of medrol. She said, "Yes" to do it. I did, felt better for a few hours

Acute Bacterial Meningitis - post Pontine Cavernoma back out surgery
It’s been almost a week. Initially my father (age-56) was admitted due to some abnormality in cavernoma. Went through a surgery as suggested by the Doc. Due to the criticality of the position of this Pontine Cavernoma, they opted for a back out. Post surgery the patient was in somewhat stable state.

confused about thyroid and adrenal treatment
OK, I feel totally confused now: I was diagnosed, in January 2012, with adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism (after being on thyroxine for 10 years), low estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, and growth hormone levels. My new doctor switched me from thyroxine (200 mcg daily)

what is the difference between oral steroids and a steroid injection?
I had an intramuscular depo medrone injection but didn't seem to get the same result as when I get oral steroids. Does anyone know what the difference is between the two and why so I seem to get a better result for tennis elbow/hip bursitis from the oral steroids? Advice would really be appreciated
