Graves/Cortisone

[Guest guest]

Will cortisone creams hinder getting well with Graves. I am in

remission from Graves and am on no medicine since April. I have a

skin condition and the doctor wants me to apply Westcort, a cortisone

cream for 6 weeks. (The condition I have they don't know what even

causes it, it does have a name though and they do want you to take

this medicine.(huh! ) I don't want to do anything if it is going to

set me back. For 4 years now I have had this skin problem (even

before Graves and when I tested okay for no thyroid disease.)and

doctors kept saying it was in my head. I used all kinds of creams and

I think this may have actually made my immune system weaker. any help

greatly appreciated. Thanks. Sandy (these doctors drive me up a wall)

Trying to rebuild my immune system and they are no help at all. Will

not help me with diet since they say it doesn't work. I am furious

that in this day and age many are so close minded. Because I wouldn't

give in to their RAI and am now getting better with diet(hit and

miss) and after a serious of PTU and Inderal. Why can I not get help

with best diet. Where does one go to find someone that will test my

hair and saliva for lack of vitamins. I think this would help. I need

to know what I am lacking that I have skin problems.

How can diet affect diabetes and not Graves considering they are in

the same family of autoimmune diseases. I flat do not believe it.

Geez.Finally found a multivitamin at Walgreens that does not have

iodine or salt. Yeh!!(their brand) Sandy
