I’ve been to see the endocrinologist today on the recommendation of the rheumatologist.
I had a borderline synacthan test , on the basis of which today he has suggested I switch to 5mg of hydrocortisone twice daily from 4 mg of prednisolone.
In the background to this I have also been prescribed low dose beta blockers for angina ? prior to another referral and I’m apparently pre diabetic for which I am down for some reeducation. Yet even the endocrinologist commented that my level is such that “it’s probably just me”.
Other blood tests came back abnormal but not serious apparently.
Then to cap it all I tried to get a private prescription for rosacea around my mouth but the on-line doctor reckons its angular cheleitis.
I’m at a loss to explain why I’m suddenly diagnosed with these various annoyances, which I can only put down to my getting old, @ 75 !
Happy new year😊
