[QUOTE=blondieslp;785180]Thanks so much for all the information. I am on an estrogen patch because my estrogen level was extremely low and I am on medication for hypothyroid. So I have had and are experiencing hormonal issues. MG came on just in the last 1.5 year or so after starting on the hormone patch. I have had under active thyroid issues for many years. I will take a look at the book as soon as I can. If you have any other suggestions, I would really appreciate it. I had to call my Neuro just a couple days ago because my stomach started burning quite a bit. He called me back and told me to stop the prednisone altogether because I could get an ulcer. He had been titrating me down. I was concerned that he wanted to stop me at that point cold turkey but he says I have not been on the prednisone long enough. I believe its been about 2.5 months maybe a little longer. But he says I should be fine. I hope so. I was also shaking a lot, had been charlie horses, face puffiness and my belly is bigger. I really wanted to get off it. Just hope this works and I can find alternative treatment. Hope we can talk again.

I am so glad you responded. That is very interesting to me that the MG came on after you started an estrogen patch. From what I have read, it actually sounds suspicious. PLEASE read these books by Dr. Lee that I referenced. I gave my mom the cream to use on her rosacea and it has cleared up almost completely in three weeks. I gave it to a friend of mine to use on her psorisis and it is actually healing her sores. These are both thought to also be autoimmune related. I have now given a bottle to my brother to use as he has colitis. The cream that I am talking about is completely natural and your body actually expells what is not needed. The research that I have found on it shows no risk or side affects. Besides the MG and Graves symptoms subsiding, my hair is actually growing, my nails are long and strong, my skin is clear, I no longer need a nap in the middle of the day and I sleep well at night. I feel like I am really starting to enjoy my life again and my husband said that he is really enjoyng being with me. My cycle has returned and so has my sex-life. I actually have the energy to excerise and have lost a few pounds. The strange fat deposits that I gained from the prednisone are actually starting to disappear. Besides the addition of the cream, I have gotten serious about taking my vitamins, and have really worked on cutting down on my sugar and simple starch intake. These books are full of information about a healthy life-style. I have learned to proceed with caution and have taken control of my health back from physicians. I recently visited my female Dr. for my yearly exam. When I spoke with her about my cycle issues and pain that I have been experiencing, she said that it sounded like poly-cycstic ovarian syndrome. She suggested a medication to take care of it, but wanted to discuss it with another physician prior to prescribing it due to my medical issues. When she called me later to discuss the medication, I was surprised at her response. She discussed my issue with the other physician and they decided that if I was already using the progestrone cream that there was no need for the medication. She said that the cream would take care of the problem naturally. So this tells me that physicians know that this works but they would prefer to prescribe harmful medications vs. disclosing a natural, harmless remedy. When the Dr. suggested the meds and I asked about side-affects, she told me that the only known side-affect was loose stools. When I looked the medication up online, the studies showed that the medication causes damage to the pancreas, kidneys and liver. No Thank-You!!! I don't need more medical issues. Please keep me posted.
