Diagnosed with H.E. need help with treatment

by Debbie29975, Sep 29, 2006 12:00AM
I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Encephalopathy the beginning of this yr.  I received prednisone treatment for 8 weeks.  I was in remission for 4 wonderful short months.  It's back.  



My question is do I go to a base line dose of 5mg of prednisone or start the whole treatment from the top again?  



I have 3 Dr's who are at a loss to treat me.  I'm going to Mayo Clinic in Dec to a Neurologist there.  The thing is my symptoms are coming on again fast and I'm getting worried.  I'm going for a new EEG to check for the development of seizures.  I have been blanking out time again.
