Has anyone had to stop actemra?

Last week I was hospitalized with acute diverticulitis (not my first time) and adrenal insufficiency. I learned the hard way that just because they say your adrenal

Bruises, Ankles Swelling, ETC.
Never a dull moment. Diagnosed with PMR since Jan '22 and now at 32 mg. Pred after that GCA scare in Jan. 2 3. I am 73, but the bruising has just begun. Nasty ones and I don't remember bumping the areas where they are (like the joint of my big toe at the side), so it doesn't take much. Presuming thinning

Changing from Prednisolone to possibly Hydrocortisone
Good morning Following a Synacthen test my Rheumatologist has said my Adrenals gave a very good response, currently taking 5.5 mg Pred . He wrote in his letter he would like me off Pred ASAP and will discuss possibly changing to Hydrocortisone when I see him next week . He has always been doubtful

T3 or Hydrocortisone
I’ve historically had problems raising my levo dose, as soon as I get to 50, I start to feel dreadful. I’ve been experimenting with hydrocortisone at 2.5 and 5mg doses alongside the levo. I stopped the HC for a week to see if it made a difference and re-started again yesterday at 5mg. OH BOY! There’s

HC cream effect wears off pretty quickly 🤨
This is a carry on from last weeks... https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/149335413/is-this-the-hc-cream-effect-kicking-in So I stopped the daily 1g of hydrocortisone cream which I had used for a week on Wednesday morning and within 2 days have slumped back to pre cream lethargic state! This

tapering off steroids
Hello I'm currently tapering off 5mg Prednisolone, initiated a few years ago when I had Covid which was triggering my severe asthma. I don't need it anymore for that reason except I was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency a few years ago. Recently seen an endocrinologist and had a short synacthen

Down, but not out!
I'm building up to 10k....again....had a rubbish winter( when I'd planned to build up to a half marathon .) I did my first last June and eased off through that long hot summer thinking that I could use the Autumn to do lots of stamina training . Then I would be ready for an hm in early spring. What

hydrocortisone or prednisone?
I am wondering which steroid is better for GCA? I was switched over to hydrocortisone by an endocrinologist to “nudge my adrenal glands into waking up” and also the tests to see if adrenal glands are functioning is better done with being on hydrocortisone. I had test last week and adrenals glands are

Air fryer?
I've been eating LCHF for 4 years, and have experienced many health benefits from it. But while eating high fat, I have never turned to deep fried foods. That's mostly because I am not prepared to deep fry in my home, and outside the oil is mostly seed oils, that is highly recycled. Thus I have been

Does anyone know the ‘HC’ quantity in adrenal cortex? (More specifically Adrenavive III)
I’m trying to figure out how much adrenavive is comparable, if at all, to hydrocortisone dosage. I can’t seem to find any information anywhere with any comparisons and wondered if anyone had any more detailed information. Thanks in advance 😊

Adrenals are working!
I had a ACTH Stimulation Test this morning and just got the results back from my Endo. She said even better than she expected. So now I can start tapering off of hydrocortisone at 1/2 tablet weekly. Currently I am on two 5mg tablets in morning and Two 5mg tablets in evening. It seems a bit fast but

Palliative care
Hi all. Mum's GP has recently suggested involving the palliative care team for her heart failure. She was very upset and declined. It would be really useful to learn about other people's experiences of palliative care so we can understand the potential benefits.

very high cholesterol
I had a visit with my cardiologist (my hero as she was the one to suspect GCA two years ago while dealing with uncontrollable blood pressure and head pain and eye issues) so she knows my whole GCA story. Anyways my cholesterol has gotten very out of control even with taking Crestor, my cholesterol levels
