Enhertu (Do your research first ALWAYS)
I am HER2- and was given this "infusion" on 11/18 after being told I was out of any more options and had about 3 months left. It has been hell since then. I do not believe it was the medication as I did in the beginning. I believe it was the errors of the cancer center I have been going to. I am

adrenal insufficiency/prednsiolone
Hi everyone I've posted about this before, but I have adrenal insufficiency due to Prednisolone use, been on 5mg a day for over 2 years now, purely for cortisol replacement rather than asthma. I have a appointment coming up with the endocrinologist in a few weeks. I saw one privately about 6 months

Questions about using hydrocortisone instead of cortex?
Hi everyone, *post for a friend* does anyone with confirmed low cortisol on a 4 point saliva test currently use HC? Beginning to wonder if cortex might not be enough as I am having a lot of intolerance symptoms persisting after armour dose increases.. (vitamin deficiencies all ruled out/optimised

Yes, Malecare helped write the ‘‘Comprehensive Cancer Survivorship Act’
I received several nice phone calls this morning, so I thought to share some good news and also highlight more of Malecare's brilliant work. Working with the congressional office of U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) and several of my counterparts, I, representing Malecare and the prostate cancer

The damn peaks and troughs
I wonder if this might resonate with anyone. I'm currently self-medicating for what I think is secondary hypo, 10 mg Hydrocortisone first thing and 50mcg Levo at bedtime. It's very early days with the meds but the hydrocortisone had an almost immediate positive effect. For the past 3/4 years I have had

The need for FT4, FT3 and TSH tests
Hi. Sorry I've written about this before and cannot find the responses to my question. I have an appointment with my endocrinologist tomorrow morning. I asked if I could have Free T4 and T3 and TSH tests done. I made it clear in my request that I needed all 3. Frustratingly I had blood tests

It's not going well and I am feeling low.
As I have posted previously, on 21/08 at the behest of my Dr I started Hydrocortisone and reduced my Pred down to 7mg. (I note from my original post back then I write, [i]I am not full of energy even on 8mg...just plodding along[/i]. ) I felt good for a couple of weeks and dropped the Pred again.

GP support ?!!?
A few days ago I had a text from my GP surgery outlining everything you would wish to know about their service including a profile of all the eight GPs in the practice with their qualifications and special interests. Interestingly their interests ranged from cardiovascular, mental health, to gynaecology

My Dr appt this evening.
He wasn't unhappy with my rejig. I'd raised Pred to 7mg from 5mg and left off the lunchtime Hydrocortisone (20mg). He's okay'd me to stop the Hydrocortisone completely and referred me back to Rheumatologist to investigate potential Rheumatoid Arthritis in both hands. She'd mentioned my hands in

Rash on penis
Ok so about 6 months ago I had sex with my wife when I noticed what looked like scratches on the tip of my penis. Didn't think anymore about it but I then noticed pain when pulling the foreskin back and it was tight like an elastic band being put around it. Then I noticed a red patch had formed on the

Increase Pred. before hip surgery?
I'm having my second hip replacement this coming Saturday and wondering whether to increase Pred dose prior to it. I'm on 5mg (stayed there since May when I had the other hip done). I didn't increase it last time just took 5mg the morning of op and discussed hydrocortisone support with the anaesthetist

Anticipatory medication
Have you spoken with palliative care team, and district nurses? They may be able to advise on anticipatory medication if you are concerned about him going through pain

T4-T3 conversion issues
I was wondering if anyone who has known issues of an inability to convert sufficient T3 in order to feel well, could let me know what has worked well for you. I should say that I am 74 but am relatively active at times but need lots of rests throughout the day as I have ME/CFS diagnosed 21 years ago

Pain is now unrelenting. About to rejig meds.
I've been taking 5mg Pred for 4+ weeks (plus the 30mg Hydrocortisone in divided dose). You'll recall my Dr said it was too low too quickly. I decided to carry on as I'd got here (unscathed so far) and didn't want to go back. 4 weeks on my CRP has gone up to 6.1 after months at or around 4.3. I am

Update on hubby Nov 2022
Hubby saw Hepatology Registrar yesterday. We have some great news to share. Hubbys liver is no longer Decompensated, it is now compensated 🎉 so he has gone from stage 4 ARLD to stage 3 ARLD 🎉. The hepatic encephalopathy systems have gone, so he is no longer on that medication. The Ascites & Odeoma

Is weight loss always ominous?
Sorry I just worry as it was a sign my mother was rapidly declining with cancer.... Basically my brother is paralysed. He has severe heart failure with an efr of about 20-25% though believed to be at the lower end. The medication he was on for his heart has been stopped and he has been put onto palliative
