Joint Pain On Prednisone

I've have horrible joint and body pain for several weeks. My ESR, CBC, RF, ANA, and thyroid tests all came back negative. My MD did a lab send out for more specific tests, but they aren't back yet. I was seen in the emergency room today for unbearable pain, and was started back on prednisone. Three weeks ago was the first time I was placed on prednisone. I tried to taper off twice in the last three weeks and had my pain come back 2-3 days after stopping. Has anyone else ever had these symtoms despite the negative tests mentioned?

I just switched to Tom's of Maine Toothpaste. I was using Colgate maximum strength Sensitive for my last two tubes. I'm not sure of the timeline, but I think some of my issues started after using Colgate. If Sensodyne is unsafe wouldn't Colgate Sensitive be unsafe?

I'm new to a celiac forum and will probably have many questions over the next several weeks. I need to start going through old posts and reviewing the vast knowledge of information already present.

I've not been feeling well for quite a while now and hope it's my celiac and not some undiagnosed problem.

hi,

I noticed this because right now my mom is on prednisone for joint and muscle pain. I wish I was there. They have tested her for things. Today she got more blood drawn. It upsets me that this is the 3rd time in a few weeks and she has not even mentioned that her daughter is gluten intolerant. She promised me that if nothing turns up with this round and they test her again that she will ask for the celiac test and Lyme test. My mom had Epstein Barr in the past and they forgot to retest for that.

Have you been tested for Lyme or Epstein Barr? Good luck, I know it is terrible to hurt.

Are you also taking ibuprofen?

A close relative of mine read the testimony of an internet poster. The poster said his/her joint pain was caused by ibuprophen. My relative had been taking ibuprofen for joint pain. It was getting progressively worse .......debilitatingly so.

This relative stopped taking ibuprofen, and the pain went away. The treatment turned out to be the cause.

.......seriously. Try it.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
