I have cusining's disease. I was on Kenalog for arthritis in nec and shoulders for almost two years. The doctor stopped the shots abruptly and put me on VIIOX till it was taken foo the market. I have been on predisone for a year now and continue to decrease my dose. I have every symptom of Cushing's from Moon face, buffalo back and neck. And weak muscles, joints and so much pain. My wuestion is my teeth. I have lost 3 molars and have 4 more indanger. Can you give me some documented information on steroids and my teeth after prolong use. I need my dentist to receive this info so the insurance company will help with the expense. Any web sites, written documents would be appreciated Regards, P.J.

Good morning, I have Giant Cell Temporal Arteritis and have been on massive doses of Prednisone for the last 7 months. I am in the same boat as you are, experiencing all the side effects, especially with the teeth. if you have gotten any response would you forward it on to me as I am trying to get Medicare to cover some of the expenses of replacing the everything after I am taken off Prednisone.
