Hypothyroidism and fluctuating low cortisol. What to look for privately?
Can anyone direct me where to seek help for the low cortisol fluctuations I am experiencing? It seems I’m on my own trying to sort out low cortisol that isn’t severe enough on blood test to be worth the NHS exploring further. Due to increasing fatigue when my “usual” thyroid & cofactors lab results

Dr recommends Brothers heart failure medicine be withdrawn and he be put on palliative care. Brother refusing.
Brother is paralysed and also has underlying conditions.He was recently diagnosed with severe heart failure. His left ventricle is damaged and he has an EFR of between 20 and 25 percent, though likely at the lower end of that. He has been discharged into his nursing home with a Referral to the heart

Caring for Dad with liver cancer........
My Dad is 82, and was diagnosed in August this year. He'd been unwell for most of the year, then caught Covid in June and thankfully this led to some blood tests from his GP. He then collapsed and got taken into hospital where he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He has got 3 metastatic tumours, and

DHEA (& Cortisol)
Hello, I received these results today. I would appreciate it so much if someone could give me a steer on the DHEA aspect. I understand cortisol very well and clearly I have some form of adrenal insufficiency. I have 2 questions - 1. Do you think I need hydrocortisone from these results or can I

Surgery or not!
Hi, I’m 77 years of age and I’ve just joined the Macmillan Cancer Club. My story is that following some difficulties swallowing, in April 2021, I had a gastroscopy and was diagnosed with T3N2M0 oesophageal cancer. I had radical chemoradiotherapy treatment for 6 weeks in July / August that year. After

Could someone help advise what these skin growths/bumps would be? This might be quite long but any help would be great! :)
Hi all, I really hope somebody can advise me! Sorry if this is long. I've decided to finally post online and ask about this problem because I am getting nowhere with it with the GPs or the hospital (more on those later) So anyway, in August 2021, I noticed a red raised bump, looked similar to a spot

Pill to end life
I do have a big concern. I was told by my doctors and also palliative care, that there is a pill to take to end your life. My doctors won’t give to me without chemo and radiation, however. I think it’s important to be able to have one as soon as possible. If I have a stroke or other disturbing effects

Malnutrition
Hi Everyone. My mother is 6 years into this cruel illness. She is currently in respite palliative care. In recent weeks we have experienced a massive deterioration in her ability to consume anything, including the food we had been pureeing. Her weight has plummeted and she is so so thin.. We are now

Flare I think.
I've been aware of an aching, unlike any aching I have suffered with for several years. It's been around for about 2 weeks and is gradually intensifying towards late afternoon. Across my shoulders, my neck, my wrists. Not enough yet to stop me getting on with things but uncomfortable. Not addressed

🎭 The mask slipped😪
My gp surgery managed to crack my facade and make me cry. I finally managed to speak to a person to ask why prescription for nebuliser hadn't been fulfilled. (They fulfilled prescription for ampoules to be nebulised but no nebuliser!) The rudeness and unhelpful attitude beggers belief. I know gps

Testing my thyroid after stopping levothyroxine
Hi I was put on levothyroxine back in March when my test results were considered borderline. I had to have surgery in April to remove a cyst on my pituitary gland which thankfully seems to have been successful (though I have what is considered to be mild diabetes insipidus which preceded the surgery

Update after visit to Dr re Hydrocortisone.
I'd been imagining that my Dr would be pleased with my taper to 5mg Pred but he was pretty shocked and said it was too quick. We discussed swollen ankles, disturbed sleep, hunger, irritability and anger. He says none of them are side effects of Hydro. My low level anxiety has dissipated so I didn't

Little blue pills and linctus
The helpful palliative care consultant at Harefield has prescribed for me Oxycodone tablets and codeine linctus. These are to try and manage the worst of my symptoms, coughing and breathlessness. So far they are helping. Though I'm having to go to bed early I've been very busy. Last week I had yoga

Angry, Labile and slightly anxious on Hydrocortisone.
I am feeling well but my buttons are being pushed more easily it feels. I am feeling frustrated when things go wrong. Tearful too! I guess this is normal and have put the mild anxiety (unusual for me) down to adrenalin. I hope I am right. 5mg of Prednisolone which I am pleased about, 30 mg of Hydrocortisone
