I was sick for many years initially with pain all over me, flu feeling, & severe fatigue. These episodes left me so sick I was bedridden. I started on Naprosyn & this worked so well controlling my symptoms. The symptoms came back off & on at which time I visited a rheumatologist who felt my symptoms

adrenal fatigue and how to treat it
I was on Medrol (4-6 mg daily) for four years, after being diagnosed with adrenal fatigue by a Hertoghe doctor in Belgium. I weaned off it more or less by mistake; one day, about two months ago, I was going to the lab, and was not supposed to take any meds before that, and then I just decided to wait

adrenal support and thyroid medication
Has anyone here been on prescription adrenal support, weaned off it, and then found NDT to work less well? I was on Medrol (between 4-6 mg daily; 6 mg daily for the first two years, then on 4 mg daily) for a little over four years (November 2011-February 2016). One day, I had a lab appointment, and was

different labs on same drug...?
In early 2012, I tried Thiroyd from Thailand and did great on it for about six months. This is what my labs looked like in June 2012, on 5 grains of Thiroyd: FT3 4.2 (ref 2.2-4.3) FT4 1.1 (ref 0.8-1.5) TSH completely suppressed. I was also on 6 mg of Medrol daily, after being diagnosed with adrenal

NEED ADVICE....AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Increasing dose
There is a lot of info regarding tapering but if you are started on to low of a dose of pred is it safe for the Dr to increase, mine just went from 5 mil once a day to 10 & he said lets try this for a while to see if theres improvement. I told him that from what I'm reading here is that it isnt enough

Pain & more pain
Hello, recently diagnosed with PR & GCA and put on 5 mil once a day of prednisone, now put on 10 mil once a day. Not sure if I should take 5 in morning & 5 at night, Originally the Medrol pack gave me horrific side effects but the low dose of prednisone helps a little. The pain & stiffness is awfully

give up NDT...?
Recently, I have had reason to wonder if I am one of those patients who should not be on NDT. A month ago, I switched from Erfa to Thiroyd (Thai NDT). The main reason for this was that Erfa was causing me to itch. I knew it was Erfa because on a weekend trip away from home, I realised I had forgotten

weight loss and decreased need for medication?
I have lost a lot of weight in recent months, and I have also switched drugs (I have gone from Erfa to Thiroyd), plus switched to HC from Medrol. This past week, I have felt hyperthyroid. I sweat all the time (although it's still pretty cold outside, it even snowed yesterday), I don't sleep as well as

take NDT at night?
Has anyone ever tried taking NDT at night, and found that it had a positive impact on your well-being...? I am asking after reading the other night that people suffering from adrenal sufficiency and taking Medrol had better take it at bedtime, so that they wake up with ideal cortisol level (due to Medrol's

total confusion
So I went to see a so called top doctor in Belgium the other day, supposedly one of the best. Before going there, I had extensive labs done (blood and 24 h urine). I feel pretty well overall, work full-time, lead a normal life...I feel tired from time to time, but who doesn't...?! Anyway, it seems

Medrol
I have been on Medrol since November 2011. For a while, I needed 6 mg daily. For the past year, I have taken 4 mg daily. I have tried to wean off it several times, unsuccessfully. I took my usual dose the day before yesterday, so 48 hours ago. I then decided to start taking Medrol at night instead

DHEA...not sure what to think?!
I stumbled on this extremely interesting article on DHEA: http://www.drdebe.com/articles/dhea-the-real-story In the past four years, I have seen two so called Hertoghe doctors. When I went to see them, I had been on T4 drugs for about ten years, so it was already established that I suffered from hypothyroidism

NDT and adrenal fatigue
I would love to hear from people on Armour or Erfa how you are doing, especially since STTM has been claiming lately that Armour was reformulated again (and has been working even LESS well than it did after the 2009 reformulation...) and, apparently, that Erfa, too, has changed, although the company

dark circles under the eyes?
I seem to recall reading somewhere that dark circles under the eyes is one of the symptoms of adrenal fatigue. Does anyone know if that is true? I have had dark circles under my eyes for years, and nothing seems to help. I have wasted a fortune on products supposed to make them disappear, without any
