- Hi! I haven't been on here in over a month and I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the hugs! I was thinking today about how lonely I feel sometimes when I'm going through all these ups and downs. I really can't talk to anyone in my family,...
- Hi! I;m new here. Finally diagnosed with bipolar..the low spectrum, whatever that means. Anyway I wanted to find out if anyone has tried dilantin. I have addisons disease, my adrenal glands don't work so I'm low dose steroid dependent. Medications...
- Hi. I am at my wits end! Sick of my endo doc and trying to deal with this disease. I have been trying to get back into the workforce. Been on disability and tried off and on to work. I AM SO DISCOURAGED! I was also working out and this is when it...
- Hi! I don't have diabetes but was diagnosed with neuropathy a few months ago. I have heard that those with diabetes often have neuropathy. I was actually looking for a support group for neuropathy but didn't find one so I was hoping I could get some...
- Hi! I have been gone for awhile. I was out of state and then busy with trying to find a job.....hopefully. Anyway, what I was wondering is, does emotional stress situations require more cortef? I notice that when I am feeling a lot of anxiety I get...
- Hi everyone! When I first started on this site about 3 years or so ago I was diagnosed with RA. Since then I have been diagnosed with Raynaud's syndrome, and Addison's disease. It looks like the addison's may have been brought on by the high doses...
- Hi! I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis about 3 1/2 years ago, Raynauds about 1 year ago and 2 weeks ago with Addisons. I feel like I am literally falling apart! Even though it's summer, I am freezing and my left little finger and left toes...
- Hi everyone! I have to have a tooth pulled tomorrow. I have a pretty crappy endo and they said to triple my dose of steroid for 3 days, beginning with the day of the procedure. Does this sound right? I have looked online and read that you only need...
- Well I found out that I have secondary Addison's as well as RA. My adrenal glands may have stopped working due to the long term steroid use (which is rare they say). I already have to find another endocronologist because the one I was referred to...
- Well, I just found out from blood work that the Addison's is secondary. I'm thinking that because I was on steroids for so long it may have caused it. I know one thing...I'm switching doctors. All I was told is..take your Cortef and call me in a few...
- Hello everyone! I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2009 and Raynaud's in 2010 and two days ago with Adrenal insufficiency. I had been near passing out, passed out once and was hospitalized and then was in the hospital last month because of...
- Hi everyone! It has been so long since I've written here. I finally graduated college with a bachelors degree in substance abuse counseling. It has been a long haul. In November I started passing out and continued to spiral down until I ended up in...
- Well, here I am, after trying almost every medication possible for RA I'm finally trying antibiotics. I was on a round a few weeks ago because I had an upper respiratory thing and my RA symptoms went away. I felt so good. So I did some research on...
- Hi everyone! I haven't been on here for awhile. I guess I've just been so busy and just down about this RA. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and have tried every medication except for Rituxan. I am too afraid of that because the doc said one side effect,...
- Hi all! I hope everyone is having a good day. I'm not here much because I've been so busy and generally doing pretty well, but of course whenever I need help I know you all will be here. My question and problem is that when I use my injectable...
