advice needed re sick caretaker
my husband who does everything—lifting laundry, hanging it up, emptying the dishwasher, doing most of meal prep, taking out trash, etc., is on crutches with perhaps a torn meniscus. So I’m fetching for him and trying to keep our home in some sort of routine and my pmr isn’t liking it. Before his injury

Rheumatologist appt
Hi, just an update. Saw rheumatologist today, he doesnt think I have PMR (too young for that, in his opinion) and instead thinks "fibromyalgia" alongside with "mechanical issues" as ultrasound in May showed shoulder bursitis and tendiopathy, calcification plus trocherantic hip bursitis. Gave me 2 cortisone

First IVIG infusion
I've learned so very much here in this group, from so many here, Thank you all. Although I post very little and do read and am concerned for everyone. I want to ask what are some of your experiences with getting IVIG ? Side effects ? Reactions ? I've been told very little by Dr and PA. Dr did say

cortisol 24 hour urine result
can anyone read this result? I am unsure what it means. I know the urine and blood tests are pretty rubbish so I have ordered a saliva. But for now this is what I have from the nhs endocrinologist. I have a new private app in a few weeks to see a new endo who can hopefully help me with the low cortisol

Transitioning from NDT to T3 (slowly) - anyone done this? Or combines NDT with t3?
Hello there, After many years unsuccessfully on Levo, then NDT, NDT+T4, I'm trying NDT and T3...and it's tricky. My timing might be incorrect, I take now 3 daily doses and I'm feeling overmedicated in the afternoon (tight chest, dizzy, weird energy, hunger, sweaty feet, blurry vision etc.). I take

adrenal gland & thyroid
I recently read a book “The Great Thyroid Scandal (and how to avoid it)’ and “ticked” my way through the book as I have had 90% of the various symptoms detailed in the book for the past 30 years. It suggested that the adrenal gland & thyroid work closely together & if thyroid is not functioning as it

Thyroid, anemia, cortisol and fake menopause - iron IV on Monday
Hey everyone,I have been struggling recently with a lot of symptoms, mainly crushing fatigue to the point of dizziness and blurry vision. After years of trying different meds, it is now clear I don't tolerate meds because of other factors. I clearly need higher dose of thyroid meds, but they don't work

never loose hope upping NDT!!
bit of back story, I have been on 1 grain of NDT for 3.5 years (with added t4). Every time I upped 1/4 grain I would get hyper symptoms and it would push my t3 over range. So I had no choice but to add levo in (tirosint). T4 seems to make me feel worse and worse the higher I go in doses with extreme

Hair loss while tapering Prednisone
Hi. Yet another issue. My hair has started falling out in clumps. I am devastated. I had some loss when I was on Pred at different times over the last 5 years especially in the beginning. I began tapering to 2 mg then 1 in late spring and maintaining that except with some flares when I took more. This
