You have to be very careful, not only with how you maintain your oral hygiene, but also with what you eat. But if you think you can do it, then it’s good for you. It might take you some time to complete this journey, but the result will be definitely pay off. All the best!<br /><br /><a href="https://aplusfamilydent.wordpress.com/2015/01/23/experienced-san-diego-dentist-looks-after-your-familys-dental-health/" rel="nofollow">Milton Wilson @ A+ Family Dentistry</a><br />Milton Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322910123564970046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130035238983389702.post-55721462396360471402014-07-14T04:02:55.499-07:002014-07-14T04:02:55.499-07:00This blog is awesome I get lot of information thro...This blog is awesome I get lot of information through this blog I love it really thank you for posting this blog <br /><a href="http://www.abpdental.com/products.html" rel="nofollow">Teeth problems</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987699377046946553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130035238983389702.post-347758935040631702013-06-30T01:21:21.198-07:002013-06-30T01:21:21.198-07:00Yeah, I think it is important to take a little car...Yeah, I think it is important to take a little care with steroids, though it helps if you keep the dose low. It's probably worth a try with the fludro, even if you don't take it for long periods maybe it can be something to help you at difficult times. Anyway, good luck with it. You may also ask your doctor about Midodrine, it's not a steroid so doesn't have the drawbacks. I took it for a few months and it did nothing, but some people benefit.<br /><br />I think probably a lot of people with ME have gum or teeth problems, though with so many other symptoms you don't hear of it as much. With a compromised immune system it may give the bacteria in your mouth - that cause decay and recession - more of a chance to thrive. It's just one more thing to think about, I suppose. <br /><br />If you're having trouble following me you can always do it by email, there is a little box under the paining on the right hand side where you can put your address.

I've never come across someone with ME/CFS who has commented on have receding gums too. have receding gums. Have had for a number of years, so what you say about the fludro worries me somewhat! I actually had my teeth straightened a few years ago (for vanity not for receding gums, were put on when I was 'healthy' pre ME collapse) I had train tracks on my teeth 2008 - 2011, not fun when in my mid 20s but not awful, tho it didn't help my gums, they're still receding... <br /><br />I wonder also about the impact on the fludro on my bones, I have really low bone density (again common in ME/CFS I think) so your comment about bone thinning is also troubling. I guess I have to give the fludro a try (started taking it this morning) and hopefully as I'm on such a low dose all will be okay!<br /><br />Great post, am off to make sure I am following you and to figure out why this didn't show up in my reader!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130035238983389702.post-50900857233597505272013-06-18T06:37:00.775-07:002013-06-18T06:37:00.775-07:00Thanks for your comment.
As for the hydrocortison...Thanks for your comment. <br />As for the hydrocortisone, I think the key is not to take too much. I did a lot of research before taking it, and seemingly if you keep the dose below 10mg you shouldn't have any problems with any further adrenal problems. I took it for a couple of years, and came off it ok in the end, without any noticeable drawbacks. I'm not sure if it helped me that much, but if you have low cortisone it is likely to do something for you. <br />There is no way around the bone thinning, I suppose, though as long as the dose is small enough my understanding is that there is not a huge danger of this. <br />As for the Fludro, I think this helped me a bit too, and is probably worth a try, at least for a couple of months. as I said, as long as the dose isn´t excessive, you're probably safe enough.TheChronicSituationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521128598189880435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130035238983389702.post-44512836837627154152013-06-17T15:03:02.571-07:002013-06-17T15:03:02.571-07:00I see more adults these days with braces and they ...I see more adults these days with braces and they are not as conspicuous as they used to be, so good luck if you get them. I had the same dilemma about taking Hydro as you are having now. In the end I decided against taking it, as I already have osteopenia and it can lead to bone thinning. I have very limited mobility and I had tested for low cortisol on the saliva test, so a boost of cortisol would have been welcome, and I may have been able to do more activity to help my bone status, but I felt that my own glands would get dependent and wouldn't be able to produce any cortisol on their own so I'd have to stay on it or come off it and be worse. A dilemma! How was your experience with it? I'm still open to persuasion. I also considered Fludro but again faced the same problem, it being a steroid. Hope you are not affected too badly by coming off it.Titchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311691258045704248noreply@blogger.com
