Anyone take Greek HC (IFET)?
I would like to hear from anyone who takes Greek hydrocortisone called I.F.E.T on the box. I want to know if it is generally as good as the brand Cortef which I am unable to find. Thanks in advance.

No diagnosis - treating symptoms only help please
After my latest test results I've accepted that my symptoms will be treated but not my thyroid. To be fair to my gp, she did all the tests including anti bodies and T3 and they show nothing that indicates a thyroid problem. I'm convinced there is one but I'll just have to be further down the line before

I am about to start Forsteo injections daily, is there anyone else taking the same, and how are you coping? I
I have PMR and tapering g with my prednisolone. Now just on 3.5 mg daily. Second time round with pmr, and found out I have osteoporosis. Have had some spinal fractures, now healed, hence my endocrinologist starting the Forsteo. I apparently builds new bone, and is taken for 2 years. Quite a commitment

very dry eyes
last year my eyes have become much dryer and I no longer feel comfortable in my own body. Use the warm compresses and Hylo Forte drops but by night time my eyes are red and sore. Any suggestions, my optomologist doesn't feel there's a problem but he's not living with it.

Insomnia after taking Armour for the first time
Hi everyone! Has anyone experienced insomnia after taking Armour or another NDT for the first time? I took 1/2 grain yesterday at 8 a.m. (with STTM thinking that the starting dose is 1 grain) and could not at all fall asleep in the evening. ETA: Sorry, maybe more information is indeed needed. I have

Osteoporosis and MS.
Hi everyone, Is anybody on Forsteo (osteoporosis) and Gilenya (starting this drug next week for MS) ? I am a bit apprehensive as Gilenya lowers your immune system and Forsteo carries a risk of bone cancer. I would like to know whether combining these 2 drugs is safe. Doctors only look at the issue they

Suppliers of Cortef or hydrocortisone.
I have adrenal fatigue and did a saliva test to confirm this. So I have started taking hydrocortisone, which I already had, but don’t know where to buy it from in future. If anyone could PM me if they know of any reliable sources.

Interpretation of Cortisol 24 hour Urine test & Cortisol Serum test
Hi everyone, I switched to T3 only 4 months ago & am currently on a total of 100mcg T3 (taken in 3 split doses). Many of my symptoms have resolved & my temperature has raised but it is still slightly low & I still have a few lingering symptoms. My T3 levels came back at 4.11pg/mL (1.5 - 4.0) so I think

Dreadful treatment for Low Adrenal Reserve
Hi. I'm new here. I'm also finding treatment for LAR/adrenal fatigue very confusing. My background is, I have had inflammatory bowel disease for 36 years, which was managed reasonably by immune suppressants. I also developed 2 damaged discs in my lower back in 2010. I was living in Spain at the time

Sleep aid
Will talk to my neurologist and primary physician to see what my next step should be But also must interject that I have 2 months to go with
Forteo
bone density injections (parathyroid hormone) and that may have precipitated my downward BP spiral.
