@crissiec, you might ask your doctor about a short course of prednisone. Sometime the cytokine release is self sustaining. There isn't a way to remove the medication from your system. But you can stop the cytokine cycle.
No one wants to take steroids with osteoporosis. But the 5 day pack is said to cause less damage to the bone than the continuing inflammation.
Best wishes.

@gently Thank you! Im only on it due to very rare bone disease. no cure. basically managing symptoms. They are using this to see if it will slow down the lesions on my arm bone. The disease i have only 1 out of 1 million have it. took me 4 years of testing to get a diagnosis. This med def put me through a loop! I am still having extreme bone pains and today is day 4. Hoping it goes away soon. my dr said if im still hurting by tomorrow to let her know. She said bone pain should disappear after day 4 so im praying! I still have low grade fever too, been taking tylenol and motrin. Im not sure if i can do prednisone due to all the meds im on i will have to ask about this when i go the next time around! Thank you
