newbie here (to this board...i'm on the UC board most times). i have the same problem. i have arthritis in my SI joint, sacroilitis, problems with sciatica, bursitis in my hip and IT band tendonitis...
if you are on 6mp, you should stay away from meds that have alcohol in them such as nyquil. that's what i was told at least. i usually take a generic psuedoephedrine that works really well. i use the...
I had a horrible time with that when I was on Prednisone. Nothing would mask the odor until I tried Certain Dri deoderant. You apply it at night and it stops you from sweating. It totally worked!!!...
Like Scrap Girl, I gained the weight in my mid-section and I never really got rid of it. My first long round of Prednisone was 7 years ago and as soon as I got off of it, I got pregnant. I lost all...
I have been carrying a card with me for several years now. I update it every time I need to. I started doing it the first time I took Prednisone. I print mine out at:...

For me, Remicade has been a life saver!!! I had yet another horrible flare last December and went on Prednisone for the 4th time. My doctor started me on Remicade at the end of January and it really...
FosterDad, your "pity party" is part of the package with going on prednisone. Any time I go on it I have about a week of depression and feeling sorry for myself and then it goes away as my body gets...
I'd definitely get it checked out. I've had something similar twice and both times it turned out to be Pluerisy which is an inflammation of the outer lining of the lungs. The area you are describing...
Unfortunately I don't tolerate Prednisone very well. I get pretty much every side effect in the book. :( I've been on Prednisone about 4 times and hopefully will never have to go on it again as I'm...
Hi, I'm new to this forum as I usually visit the Ulcerative Colitis forum. I was just diagnosed on Monday with arthritis associated with IBD. They are running lots of tests to see if it is any kind...
