water and stay away from sweets. eat plenty of raw veggies and this will help. prednisone is a natural weight and appetite increaser and it is a bad drug but can make you better.

I don't know of any pills offhand, but my doctor recommended me to use hydrocortisone ointment on the areas that I was having problems.  She told me to apply it three times a day.  I have since started using hydrocortisone cream as a lotion for my arms (the only place where I have problems.)  Both solutions have worked for me.

Cortisone is great for this purpose. However, it never leaves your body, so it does build up. That's why your doctor may restrict the number of shots you get. But for a temporary solution while you heal, this works well.

It's a great drug for a variety of problems. However, it suppresses the normal adrenal cortex. This is why it's critical to ween from the drug slowly, to allow the adrenals to start functioning again. Follow your doctor's directions explicitly. It's dangerous to try a shortcut.

Cortisone is used to relieve inflammation, not alopecia. Be very careful with Cortisone, it has lots of bad side effects and would not be effective in this case. Long term use of Cortisone can lead to cancer. Not a good trade off, even if it worked.

Cortisol reducing pills are not effective in weight loss.  Very few people have overproduction of weight loss, unless you have been diagnosed with this, I would not waste my money.

Eat less, exercise more. Talk to your doctor about the steroid impact on your body so that you can set up a good diet and exercise plan for your needs.

Prednisone is probably one of the worst yet best drugs out there.  It is a miracle cure for alot of things, but unfortunatley there really is no way to get the drugs out of your system any faster, or naturally.  It just needs to run its course.  My ex husband was on prednisine probably 4  out of 5 years that we were together and it was absolutely awful.  He was on and off anti depressants and it was all we could do for him.  On lower doses Vitamin b helped a bit.  I wish you lots of luck.

You would really have to discuss this with your mothers doctor.  But if you've already had radiation therapy, that leaves more, more aggressive chemotherapy or surgery.  Cortico steriods can also be of some use, but usually only for symptomatic control.

Glucosamine with Condroiton has been proved to help ease pain in arthritic old people. \n\nI talked to my doc about it before, and while he said there were no studies done yet on young people with my condition, that it wouldn't be a bad idea. \n\nI've taken it off and on over the last couple years, and it does take about 4 months to do anything for you, and isn't very cheap, but it seemed to help me a bit. \n\nJust be sure to talk with your doc if your diabetic because it is a sugar - based compound.\n\nAlso, for achy joints you may want to think about reducing the impact in your exercises (maybe walking instead of jogging - think about it).

Cortisone is a natural substance in your body, it means your body produces it. An excess cortisone produces what's called Cushing's Syndrome. In it your body starts to swell, specially your face. Cortisone (and it's derivates like dexametasone, prednisolone, triancinolone) are by far the best anti-imflamatory drugs available. Inmflamation is what's causing most likely the pain, so that's why it's the drug of choice. You can help by doing physical therapy, putting ice then a warm towel. As for herbal medicine, I really don't know much. There's a cream called Swedish Bitters, it contains a substance called Capsaicin (sp?) that actually inhibits the transmission of pain, maybe you could try it if you've had enough of cortisone.

Take Benadryl (by mouth) and apply hydrocortisone cream.  And next time stay away from the baby oil.

Call your dentist and have him get you a prescription for dexamethazone 0.75mg, its and anti-inflammatory that will make it feel better.  Pain is caused from infection or inflammation.  Hopefully the infection is gone.  Working on the tooth causes the surrounding tissue to be inflammed.

"Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate" sold with different proprietary names in different countrie but mostly " Wymesone" is the most effective and you need a shot or two . Not more.\nGood luck
