I am on many medications for various illnesses. I am in the process of weaning off prednisone I have a very high inflammation level though out my body my rheumatologist has tried every oral medication on me nothing has reduced the inflammation in my body example. I was on methotrexate and a sulphurlazine plaquinel and the prednisone. I do have Graves’ disease and was well treated for 32 years till now everything went out of whack just they past few months I m also prediabetic. But when I was at the hospital 2 weeks ago they also put me on a low dosage of metformin to reduce. My blood pressure. I am now in my 5 th week of weaning off prednisone I had been on in since April 2018. For rheumatoid arthritis. I also have GERD and have a problem of my stomach empty so on a few meds for those reasons. The water pill I was given 2 weeks ago at emerg was not strong enough so when I went to the follow up appointment they double the dosage I’m sorry I’m all over the place. About meds and heath issues. So now I’m severely hyperthyroid. All this is crazy. As we speak I’m waiting for the hospital to call so I can start dealing with this stiff heart issue thank you for been here I needed someone to tell all this too

@harmoneybently Id like to welcome you also we are all here to help each other .Back home in 1996 I had a triple by pass just had a Doppler and do have a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy but I hope I can help with some information about inflammation.I have it all throughout my body from various problems.Tumeric,and ginger have been found to be very helpful for this You can get capsules but since you have stomach issues as I do I found drinking a tea made of ginger-tumeric is good .You can buy it at Trader Joes or Amazon.I am glad to here you are under the care of a endocrinologist and cardiologist As Colleen said the pharmacist knows all about meds and interactions,side effects .One other thing even tho you are worried 😟 your emotions play a big part in recovery so try not to worry ,tough I know .
