I had PMR treated with steroids for 9 months, and developed steroid myopathy as a result . Upon stopping the steroids, I developed severe peripheral edema, and severe shortness of breath. Normal BNP, CXR, CTA. and cortisol levels. Current ESR is 32, CRP is 2.4, and TSH went from 2.2 in mid-May, to 4.4 last week. I am also suffering severe hair loss. During treatment fro PMR, the rheumatologist tested for virtually all the auto-immune disorders, and all the tests were negative. Any thoughts on my current illness?
