Spinal cord lesions - cortisone treatment?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I did an MRI last friday after complaining about limb numbness and weakness,

spinal cord moving sensation. today i just heard from my neurologist that i have

several lesions in my spinal cord and possibly in my brain. I will do a spinal

fluid test next week.

my doctor briefly discussed the treatment option with me: cortisone. i'd like to

hear your opinion about this treatment and other alternative treatment.

I have hashimoto's, triggered by eating kelp/seaweed. When it was first

triggered last year, i started to feel inflammation in my brain and involuntary

movements (like grinding my teeth, twitching at night). Many hypo patients

taking natural thyroid medications experience low adrenal function. i am

actually taking adrenal cortex supplement that contains a small amount of

cortisol. i found it helpful at night to suppress the involuntary movements.

Has anyone here found low dose cortisol helpful?

Thanks,

Ruby
