#cortisone — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

It’s been a fairly painful day. Both shoulders have been hurting since the weekend & it’s only gotten worse. (*Hauling bales of lucerne around doesn’t help).

I think it’s time for #cortisone #injections. (It’s been years since my last - a decade maybe?)

Next week’s pension, I’ll see if my neighbours will let me pay their teenage son to do the lucerne feeds.

*The better half says he’s terrified of the #alpacas since Ozzie reared up & head butted me into the fence. I’ll explain lupin fever!😆

The corticosteroid #dexamethasone has saved the lives of many people suffering from #COVID19.

📊 A study by #CharitéBerlin & @DZNE_de in @cellpress has now uncovered its mechanism of action: It involves the reaction of specific immune cells, the monocytes.

Taking proton pump inhibitors as antacids in addition to #cortisone can diminish bone density in #rheumatism patients. Those are the results of a study performed by #CharitéBerlin, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

#Cortisone is highly effective at inhibiting the immune system – but how does it do it? A team from #CharitéBerlin & @FAU now shows @Nature that cortisone reprograms the metabolism of immune cells, activating a natural inflammatory “brake” present in the body. Based on their findings, the researchers now plan to develop anti-inflammatory treatments lower in side effects.

#Cortisone really helps ease rheumatoid #Arthritis, but its side effects are concerning.

A #CharitéBerlin study now reveals: when taken in low doses, blood pressure does not increase even after a two-year treatment. Moreover, the weight gain often negatively associated with this medication is moderate, at around one kilogram (~2.2 pounds).
