Experiences with

Aldosterone test

I am taking Eligard + Zytiga + Prednisone (5mg). I would like to stop the prednisone and substitute eplerenone (Inspra), if that is viable. I found this exchange from earlier this year from Gearhead, with comments from Tango65 and T_A, among others. Has anyone stopped prednisone altogether in

who has suggested the following - - Synacthen Test - Adrenal Auto-Antibody - Aldosterone - Sodium - Potassium Tests are on 3rd March. He has hinted already at Hydrocortisone treatment, which after some semi-successful use of adrenal cortex extract makes some sense to me.

New paper - anecdotal case. [1] Abiraterone-related hypokalemia is presumably rare. However, it's probably a good idea to keep an eye on potassium levels. "Hypokalemia is a low level of potassium (K+) in the blood serum. Mild low potassium does not typically cause symptoms. Symptoms may include feeling

Hi! I have been perusing the posts here, you seem to be a knowledgable group, I am hoping you might be able to help shed some light on what my hormones and endocrine system is UP to! I don't want to overwhelm with too much history, so I will try and cut to the chase. For a number of years I took a T3

I had the full bells and whistles blood screen by an NHS endo last year. I was sent a letter telling me I’m ‘healthy’ but I sure don’t feel that way. Some of the test results are below and I’d welcome any feedback. I’m 60 years old and post menopausal, I was medication free when the tests were done.

Hello! Here is my next update, following from my previous post here: https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/149522793/update-6-clear-decks After my previous post where I'd removed everything, I have now introduced Hydrocortisone (HC) and steadily worked my way up to 17.5mg daily broken down as

I'm hoping that some of you lovely lot may be able to help and advise with my current situation. For the past couple of years I have been struggling with extreme (clinical definition) bulimia. I've gone cold turkey and haven't binged or vommed for just over two weeks now, and I'm so chuffed with how

I had a '2nd opinion' visit to an NHS endo on 24/8/22. I specifically asked the endo to comprehensively test my pituitary function, as I think that's where my problems are located (low thyroid and cortisol). She did a lot of blood tests and an ACTH test. After a fair bit of chasing up I've now been copied

I have CLL/SLL, and am on watch & wait. I have had a sudden bout of acute diarrhea lasting about 2-1/2 weeks. Things are better, but I do not feel entirely better/great. Blood work was normal.

hi again , just thought of another question I’d like to hear your advice/experiences of? I’ve heard it can be anything for 1 to 4 weeks after a complete miscarriage. Thanks Lis

thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my previous update Today I was told that contrary to what the rheumatologist nurse told me that I was to be referred to an endocrinologist- I now have an appointment for a synacthen test on June21 for which I am not to take that morning’s pred.

I have just called Chemists4u who say T3 is unavailable to them at present. Can anyone provide me with a TUK listed pharmacy who provide T3 for 50p to 60p per tablet? Thank you.
