• From this study (2 days ago):

Lost 20 pounds then gained 7 of it back without changing anything in my eating or exercise habits. I did stop taking the flexiril for a while but I'm not sure if it was during that period when I lost the weight. I also stopped taking birth control pills low-ovral at that time and haven't gone back on. I attributed the weight loss to that at that time but now that I am gaining weight with no apparent reason I'm not so sure. My TSH levels are usually low around .33 and .41 and below.

I would like to know if my long standing prednisone use its causing my facial asymmetry. I have been taking between 5-10 mg for 12 years. My rheumatologist noted that the severity of my Cushinoid symptom's are very high for the dose I take. I also have a marked buffalo hump and moon face.

I had my Remicade infusion (it also includes a corticosteroid - not sure of the name) on Tuesday. Same dosage as normal. Previous reaction to infusion 4 mos prior due to Benadryl, which was removed from the infusion thereafter. Doc prescribed 3000 unit Vitamin D.
On Tuesday, I ate normally. At about 7pm, my blood sugars dropped to 67. (I am NOT a diabetic, however my 16 yr old son is a type 1, and when I was dizzy he took note and tested me.) He gave me a juice and it came right up to 110.
On Wednesday, normal day again. Ate normally. At about 7pm I took a short easy walk, not even breaking a sweat, and felt extremely dizzy and shaking uncontrollably, felt I was about to pass out. Again tested, and came out at 48. Immediately ingested juice and brownie which made me feel much better.
Today (Thursday) I tested midday and it was 98.

Trying to figure out why I dropped my blood sugars. This is NOT normal. I have not had blood sugar problems EVER in the past.
