On prednisone for churg strauss vasculitis

Posted By Lorna (Beaverton, Or, Usa) on 07/22/2012

I have Churg Strauss Vasculitis, I've been on oral Prednisone for 10 yrs or so and am having a lot of trouble with supressed thyroid and adrenal function. I would be interested to know if anyone has had any success in treating this, and in getting off of medications?

I also have Churg Strauss, I am a nurse and I work for an Internal Medicine practice. The physician I work for has recommended increasing my zinc and copper intake through supplementation to help with my CSS symptoms. I have chose to stop taking prednisone, and methotrexate because of the side effects. I am currenty doing well. I am 30 and in Stage 3 but since stopping the prescriptions and going all natural I feel much better. I recommend speaking to your Rheumatologist or PCP if you are interested in treating yourself naturally.
