Apixaban and joint injection
Hello, I’m having a Cortisone injection into my shoulder next week. I’ve been advised by the clinic that I don’t need to omit taking Apixaban at all before the procedure. Looking online, it says to stop taking it between 24 hours and 3 days before. I am thinking of just missing the morning dose on the

How cortisone/pred works - a new study reports on a potential target to replace steroids
I thought you'd be interested in this article about a study from Germany which has worked out how pred works - and knowing that is the basis for developing other drugs to replace it. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240410/Study-unlocks-how-cortisone-activates-the-bodye28099s-natural-e2809cbrakese2809d-on-inflammation.aspx

cortisone shot while on prednisone
Now slow tapering from 3.5 to 3 of prednisone and my left hip is starting to have discomfort.

strange reaction to my Prednisone after all these years. Highly agitated!!!
hello everyone thank you for helping me recently with the issues I’m having with pain in my ankles and in my feet I have settled on taking 5 mg of prednisone which is an increase from where I had been down to 1 mg in the spring and summer so it has been hard for me to go higher because of stomach issues

Recap on Intense pain post
I’ve had a CT in Fall of 2019 indicating a couple of bulging discs. Spinal stenosis, s curve scoliosis. I’ve tried chiropractic treatments as well as acupuncture, acupressure and meditate several times a day. I’ve been cautioned by my primary care physician who has a DO ( osteopathic medical degree).

How can I tell when adrenals are coming back?
This line from DL's editing of a crucial post in the FAQ is cheering: . "In almost every patient the adrenal gland starts functioning again when cortisone is tapered, it just needs time." Got it. But are there symptoms that suggest the glands are waking up? After 15 months I am at 5.5mg of prednisone

I have posted previously that I was down with viral infection 25 days ago. Fever, cough and then I started feeling pressure on my left lung at a specific place as if something was blocked and crazy shortness of breath. I am an anxiety and panic patient so everything exacerbated for me. I was diagnosed
