Flare-Up Relief: Understanding the Medrol Dosepak!

We’re breaking down the Medrol Dosepak — a short course of steroids often used for flare-ups of arthritis and autoimmune conditions. We’ll explain why it’s used, how it differs from prednisone, and our preferred way to take it — mimicking the body’s natural cortisol cycle for better sleep and fewer side effects!

Important: This is for informational purposes only; please consult your doctor before changing your medication! Do you have questions about steroids? Ask below!

Thought it was just allergies? 🤧 One patient battled hives for 5 years before discovering the real culprit—Sjogren’s Syndrome.

Chronic urticaria (hives) that doesn’t respond to antihistamines may signal something more. For this patient, further testing revealed Sjogren’s, and with proper treatment, she’s finally finding relief.

👉 If your “allergies” don’t seem to improve, it might be time to see a rheumatologist.

Is Your Dentist Trying to Tell You Something? 🦷👀

Did you know your dentist or eye doctor may be the first to notice signs of Sjögren’s syndrome?

Dr. Stermer explains that this autoimmune condition often shows up as:
Dry eyes
Dry mouth

Because these symptoms can appear early, your dentist or eye doctor may detect the condition before anyone else. They might recommend tests such as eye staining or measuring tear/saliva production.

💡A simple tip: flaxseed oil can be a natural way to support eye moisture!

If you've been experiencing these symptoms, don't ignore them—talk to your doctor. Early detection matters.

Did you know 30% of people with psoriasis may develop psoriatic arthritis?

This autoimmune disease doesn’t just affect the skin—it targets the joints, tendons, and even the spine. Symptoms can range from:

- Dactylitis (sausage-like swelling of fingers or toes)
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain, especially in the morning)
- Joint pain and stiffness, even in a single joint
- Back inflammation that worsens after rest

If your mornings start with joint pain, stiffness, or swelling, it’s time to consult a rheumatologist. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce inflammation and improve your quality of life.

Sarcoidosis can look like cancer on scans—but it’s not.

This autoimmune condition causes granulomas—tiny clusters of inflammation—that can show up in your lungs, skin, liver, eyes, and joints.

I saw three sarcoidosis cases this week alone, including a young man who was told he had cancer. After a biopsy, we found it was sarcoidosis—something that we can treat with the right approach.

✅ Methotrexate is now shown to be as effective as steroids for treating pulmonary sarcoid, per a new study in the New England Journal of Medicine.

💡 We’re using methotrexate as a long-term, safer treatment option to reduce the need for steroids.
