Ivy:

Thanks so much for your great information. I have another question. Do you know if heart racing is part of the withdrawal symptoms too? I was also on 25mg. of Imuran to try and get me off the steriods. I stopped it 2 days ago because we are trying to get me off of all the meds. I am seeing an alternative medicine doctor and he is of the opinion the drugs are doing nothing but hurting my body and preventing my immune system from functioning correctly. My sed rate and C-reactive protein are very normal so he thinks the inflammation is gone and now it is time to see if we can get off all the drugs or at least lower the steroids to a tolerable level. So..I stopped the Imuran. Do you think that has anything to do with the nausea too. Of course I have been nauseated off and on since I got to 10mgs of Medrol, but the last two days have been horrible. I don't want to eat and the thought or smell of food makes me even more sick. I am the one that posted about the weightloss so I don't need to lose anymore weight. My husband has thought all along that the steriods were poisoning me. I agreed with him, but didn't know what to do when my doctor told me I needed them. It wasn't until I started this alternative doctor that I had any hope of getting off the darn poison. I don't see my doctor until next week. Do you think something like Mylanta or Pepto might help? Thanks for all your help!!

Karen
