Adrneal Glands affected by seretide?

[vooxxy]

Hi all just a quick question and brief story. All my story is heavily thyroid related (had thyroid cancer) but I was on an inhaler for 10+ years seretide since i was 8 years old. Now I cant remember exactly the doses that I took during this time but the last doses i was on was 125 2 puffs in the morning one at 1 at night. Now what i did was i took myself off this inhaler thinking i did not have asthma anymore that was in 2016.

Now i have been having a lot of issues recently with being able to handle my thyroid medication i wont get into detail as this is the Asthma board but has anyone else been on these inhalers and had issues with their adrenal glands when coming off it like i did? As in it going extremely low...I did not ease of the dose because I was never told about any of it.

I take T3 meds so it needs cortisol to work correct but mine is low. I have the symptoms of it being low. Weight loss and so on feeling dreadful most time.

Thanks All

Have you ever had courses of prednisolone, dexamethasone or any systemic corticosteroids?

I have been on pred 5mg and seretide 250 fir a lot of years , I have tried cutting down and have found that I have low cortisol levels so I have stuck with 5mg every other day , I’m finding I get muscle cramps in my arms just by over stretching , I was getting dreadful leg pains but that seems to have Subsided abit , I have been referred to an endocrinologist for cortisol levels
