What do others do about inflammation?

Posted by lindasmith1222 @lindasmith1222, Mar 10, 2023

What do others do about inflammation? For the first time I have received a shot of cortisone in my right hand. But I am experiencing inflammation everywhere. Any suggestions other than cortisone to rid my body of this painful inflammation?

In reply to your inquiry regarding inflamation , do you know the cause? It is difficult to suggest a remedy without a diagnosis . Perhaps a change in diet and gentle exercise is a good start. Try to eat gluten free .

I consulted a dermatologist because I was losing hair. They did a biopsy and said I had inflammation if the scalp and alopecia. The first medication was topical and I had an immediate reaction. It raised my blood sugar. Now I have a pill which I take twice a day and I have an abnormal reaction to it. It makes me feel sleepy. In talking to the doctor and the pharmacist this is not listed as a side effect, but I have it. I am struggling with it but taking it. I will have to take for about three months before we know if the inflammation is improving.

Hi, I have scalp alyodenia and I was also prescribed a topical steroid. I was wondering what RX you were given? Mine comes and goes but can be very painful and I’m not sure of the cause. Thanks

Regarding inflammation: I avoid eating any refined carbs, also nightshade foods namely no potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes or peppers. Also never deep fried “foods.” A favorite doc recommended drinking ginger tea, which is an anti-inflammatory, and delicious. Different companies produce it in tea bags. Hope this helps!😃
