Avatar f tn t work at all now has me on Imuran and also prednisone 60 mg a day. After 3 weeks of miserable side effects and no improvement in the ulcers, I told them I couldn't see staying on the prednisone. I am weaning off now and starting to feel like I might actually survive, I had terrible mood swings, depressed, fast heart rate, bad headaches, terrible sweating and just a nervous wreck and shaky. Wondering if others had this much trouble with this dose...
Avatar f tn Often used for asthma, emphysema and COPD. Serious side effects. Among other problems disrupts adrenal function. This can result in extreme fatigue, anxiety and panic attacks. A very dasty med.
Avatar f tn ve been off the prednisone for 11 weeks and my diarrhea and vomiting are back. I have seen 7 dr,s ( I don't capitilize dr's, because the 7 I've seen are'nt worthy of that respect!) Can anyone help me? I would sure appriciate any input. Thank you in advance and I hope good health for you!!
Avatar f tn I have survived 2 bouts with tongue cancer several years ago. Constant visits and biopsies with my surgeon has kept it away. Almost a year ago I developed severe mouth ulcers and the cancer Dr is very concerned that all this inflammation will lead to a mouth full of cancer. Scary stuff. It took 3months to get into a rheumatologist and he ordered a biopsy to confirm Sjogrens. He said it is very rare to have Sjogrens cause this much damage. He ordered steroids for 2weeks, then colcrys.
Avatar m tn My disease has been primarily hereditary (50% of my family has had autoimmune disease of some type) and stress. Through treatment combining prednisone and Imuran I achieved nearly 5 years remission. With my father's diagnosis of mesothelioma this year, my disease has returned. Although vasculitis can be contained to skin, nerves and muscle, it is important to control it. Staph infections in an ulcer can lead to very serious complications.
Avatar n tn m allergic to penicillin and sulphonamides, and I have had one previous incident with vaginal ulcers which my doctor thought was an allergic reaction to Bactrim that I was taking for acne, the incident lasted about three days compared to the eight that this last incident was. I had mononucleosis my fall semester of college. I only experienced the extreme fatigue. Is any of this characteristic of Behcet's for those of you with symptoms? I'm scared, I'm only 19.

456090 tn?1259694837 However, I started having severe relapses with the diarrhea, nausea, lethargey, mouth sores and severe arthritis so they upped my Prednisone and added Celebrex and Ultracet for the pain, stiffness and swelling with the arthritis. That is not working so well now so I am going to be swtiched to Humira injections. My GI wanted to try the Remicade infusions but my insurance won't pay for it and I can't afford it out of pocket.
Avatar n tn At this time it seems aphthous stomatitis is not caused by any infectious agent (viruses or bacteria) and these ulcers are not contagious. Triggers are usually difficult to pin down. Stress, acidic foods, specific foods for the individual, trauma, chemical sensitivities, and the like all can play a role in setting off an attack. Treatment: There is no cure for aphthous stomatitis. Laser treatments are the most effective.
922048 tn?1387942584 At age 28, after suffering for many years, I was diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia and put on low dose prednisone and anti-inflammatories. I only stayed on pred for a few months (5-10mg). Then at age 41, was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Doctor said my thyroid function was fine, though. (But of course it was very much NOT fine. I was having tons of hypo symptoms!) Now after spending a fair amount of time reading up on AF, I am certain that I have pretty severe AF.
277836 tn?1359666174 I am taking the prednisone for ulcerative colitis all biopsys were negative for it but he sent blood work off and it came back positive for uc it was some kind of antibody test
1472647 tn?1297191572 Now, it’s considered the No. 1 cause of ulcers and gastric cancer. Those aren’t the only problems Helicobacter can cause though. In fact, the majority of the people who test positive for it don’t have ulcers or stomach cancer. But that doesn’t mean they’re not affected negatively by it. Helicobacter infection can lead to lots of different and seemingly unrelated health problems, from intestinal parasites to autoimmune diseases to skin conditions.
Avatar m tn Thank you very much for your responses. In the meantime, my mother was examined by another doctor (a very trusted one) and gave her a treatment based on Prednisone. She's better now, the rash has disappeared, the leg looks way better and the ulcers seem to reduce their diameter. However, she took the biopsy and we're currently waiting for the result.
186166 tn?1385259382 has anyone experienced these mouth ulcers like i have? if so...what have you done for them and has it been successful? on top of the prednisone...i also have the magic mouthwash that i use to numb the pain...but sometimes it burns too bad to even use. I'M ABOUT TO LOOSE MY MIND ! ! ! ! !
Avatar f tn A few bleed slightly as the ulcers break open, reinforcing my belief that these linear and singular skin ulcers are due to vascultiis. Again, all of this happens without me touching, rubbing, or scratching the skin. In addition, as I've mentioned, I sometimes get white headed pustules on my extremities as well as painful cystic-type red bumps and scalp ulcers.
Avatar m tn but unfortunately 4 days before 6 months test I had a meth prednisone injection for my dry mouth and white tongue and skin rashes . later found out that this is type of medicine which can suppers the immune system and following that no antibody production .I was in deep anxiety and stress science these 6 months window period (sleep 4 hours per day and very sick) ,again I'm under stress right now MOSTLY BECAUSE OF INJECTION.
Avatar f tn Treatment for Churg-Strauss syndrome includes glucocorticoids such as prednisone and other immunosupressive drugs such as azathioprine and cyclophosphamide. In many cases the disease can be put into a type of chemical remission through drug therapy, but the disease is chronic and life long.
Avatar m tn During this time I have had uveitis (lasted for about 4 months) followed by gastritis (8 months), followed by strep throat leading to chronic tonsilitis and re-occuring bronchitis flares for 6 months that triggered asthma and now back to uveitis... Additional meds have been added to treat this, Pred Forte and Prednisone taper (uveitis), Prilosec and various other pump blockers (gastritis), 20days amoxicillin (strep) 10 weeks on amoxicillin (bronchitis), singulair and dulera for asthma.
Avatar n tn ve read about and one of our members Phoenix had to deal with this. How old is your cat and how long has he had these ulcers in his mouth? Has the vet checked his teeth, or has a biopsy been done on it? If an ulcer hasn't responded to meds in a few weeks, in my opinion, it's time for a biopsy. This could also be food allergies! You can do some experimenting at home w/ some different foods to see if there's improvement. Good luck to you!
Avatar m tn I have been able to manage the mild/moderate UC somewhat (prednisone tapers 1-2 times per year), and have slowly learned triggers and other behaviors that lead to flare-ups. This holiday season I had a terrible flare (worst since diagnosis), including abdominal pain and loose, bloody bowel movements, and was hospitalized for 4 days. I slowly recovered and started feeling better after 60mg IV steroid in hospital for 4 days, then 60mg prednisone daily for about a week after.
Avatar m tn The h pylori came back equivocal, so my doctor suggested that I just take Prilosec and see if that help the stomach irritation and excessive belching I was having. I was feeling a lot better until about day 10 of Priolsec when I drank some liquor. After I ended the Prilosec 14 days, my stomach issues and belching came right back. My doctor suggested I take a few more days of Prilosec and avoid alcohol for a while.
Avatar n tn Hi, IMO 8 mos is a VERY long time w/ no improvement. I would definitely ask about a biopsy to see what this actually is. If you can, see a veterinary dermatologist. You and your kitty need some answers. This biopsy will give you the answers you need, and that way you'll be able to give the correct meds that will actually help the problem. Prednisone, is a "band aid" when the vet doesn't know what's wrong and not good for your cat long term.
Avatar n tn Sometimes blood streaked formed stool, sometime normal, sometime bouts of diarhhea. Endoscope ok, Colonoscopy showed red, raw ulcers on descending colon and ulcers in Ilium. Doctor said most likely Crohn's. I'm desperate for direction and how all these things are tied together. She is a college student trying to attain her BSN in Nursing.
