Why are we all struggling just now? Is it atmospheric mould? Am sure it isn't Christmas!
I have noticed on this forum and some others , most folk are really struggling at the moment with worsening flares. I remember reading somewhere that atmospheric mould was really bad for us , so maybe we all rent out some jumbos and fly to the south of France and live in a commune over Christmas! Seriously

instead of or in addition to estrogen and progesterone?
I have been reading a lot about alternative treatment for menopause problems lately. My problems are not that bad actually; at least not yet (I'll turn 47 later this month, but I read somewhere that hypothyroid women tend to go through menopause a few years earlier than euthyroid women where the average

wean off synthetic steroid drugs?
I have been thinking a lot about adrenal supplements lately...I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue four years ago, and told that I would need to be on Medrol (4-6 mg daily) for the rest of my life. My doctor is a so called Hertoghe doctor in Belgium. I was also told I would not be able to take HC, as

Good Morning, Can anyone tell me how often can you have Depo Medrol, I had one on 120mg on 27th October, and another yesterday 1st December, after yet another unsuccessful attempt at DMARDS 3rd time on Sulfasalazine liquid massive failure again!

Temporal Arteritis in 23 year old male
Hello, I am a 23 year old male and around mid March 2015 I woke up (got up from lying down and raised head) and felt a sharp gush of blood above my right ear that turned into a general pressure that remained to this day. The pressure like feeling remained above my right ear and moved to my right temple

has anyone here used estrogen?
I hope it's ok to ask this question here, but there is so much knowledge and expertise here that I really hope that someone has come across the same problem: I was put on Estrogel in January 2012, along with Utrogestan (natural progesterone). Estrogel was to be taken day 5-25 of cycle, and progesterone

hypertension questions
I have had reason lately to wonder what affects blood pressure most: - salt - DGL (licorice root) - hypothyroidism - all of the above, or something else...? I am asking because I have been on blood pressure medication and beta-blockers for the past two years. Recently, my family doctor and I decided

confusing advice, would appreciate input on this
OK, so I would like some input from others here: Last night, I had a phone consult with a person originally trained as a nurse and a mid-wife, who now works with hormonal therapies and rebalancing hormonal imbalances. She was recommended to me by someone in another forum. A lot of what she told made

wean off Medrol for adrenal fatigue?
I have a question about adrenal fatigue and hope it's OK to ask it here. I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue four years ago, based on blood and 24 h urine (the latter showing even lower cortisol levels than blood), and put on Medrol. At most, I have taken 6 mg daily (which I was told is considered

can adrenaline cause anxiety attacks?
Sorry if this question sounds strange, but I have had the most unusual experience in the past few days, and I wonder if it could be adrenaline-related: A few days ago, I started taking Nutri Advanced Adrenal Extra, or NAX as it is often referred to, which some UK patients have had recommended to them

have seen four so called top doctors, so really in need of advice
OK, so I am feeling pretty confused right now, and would really appreciate some advice on how to move further: I went to see my first Hertoghe doctor in 2004, in H's practice. I had been on thyroxine for three years, after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease in late 2000, but it never did much

Methotrexate-dilemma
On Monday I had my first appointment with a rheumatologist. I was counting down the days and hours the previous week as I have been in absolute agony with all the pains in my body. My hands and fingers have been so bad over the last few weeks I have been out of my mind with pain. I first became ill

adrenal cortex or adrenal extract?
Sorry if this has been asked before. I read recently that patients with more severe adrenal fatigue can feel better on adrenal extract, while patients with mild or moderate AF should try adrenal cortex (ACE) first. It seems products with adrenal extracts contain more ingredients, and possibly more helpful

How to cope with accidents when immune suppressed by steroids?
Hi Folks, Sorry this will be a mini essay!!! I cut my finger badly last week, stabbed while taking the plastic film off a cucumber. Anyway just after it I was very unwell from what seemed like a mini adrenal crisis. I went upstairs to get my shoes on to go to A&E as the wound was very deep, and suddenly

Hip Replacement/Low Hemoglobin
Hi Everyone, hope all are somewhat well. Had the left hip replaced. After 7 days, pain is horrific. Motion is intentionally limited to keep the implant from "popping out". Am in a rehab now for two weeks. In ICU, after waking up from the operation --- saw " double". -- scared. In that groggy state

best adrenal support when weaning off prescription drugs...?
I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue four years ago, after a Hertoghe doctor decided my cortisol levels in blood and 24 h urine were low/suboptimal. I was put on Medrol, as I tended to retain fluid (most likely because I had been on thyroxine only for about 15 years at the time...). Since then, I have

the best time to measure FT3 levels?
OK, so I have a question about so called normal lab results. The reason I am asking is that I have always read and been told (by doctors and lab technicians alike) that you should go to the lab at least 24 hours after taking thyroid medication. I was told that when I was on thyroxine only, and my doctor
