Seronegative Lupus?
Hi everyone, Am feeling so miserable and sorry for myself which is pathetic when I read how so many of you out there suffer too. Most of the problem is that I have been ill with some sort of mystery autoimmune thing for about forty years or even more. After numerous visits to

Help! Experiences of Private Drs prescribing please
Hi, my saliva test is so bad - every sample below range - that despite trying CT3 and LDN it is looking more and more likely that the only way to progress is to take hydrocortisone. Unfortunately my cortisol blood comes back high, so I can't see an NHS GP prescribing me any and I know it is very expensive

advice 5yr old undiagnosed asthma
Hello, my daughter is 5, with no previous asthma symptoms (apart from coughing slightly when she runs around too much) In September she was admitted to Hosp with breathing difficulties (the day before she was coughing a lot, dry cough) after an xray they diagnosed pneomonia. Her oxygen levels were low

Adrenal Exhaustion
Have been very poorly since beginning September when a stressy experience sent me over the edge. My GP sent me for a cortisol test after I insisted and it came back borderline. I am waiting to see an Endo but my appointment is on the 14th January. In the meantime I have an appointment to see an alternative

Adrenal Insufficiency
5 months ago I wrote a post regarding a recommendation by my Endocrinologist to change from Prednisone to hydrocortisone in order to 'wake up' my adrenals. I was reluctant to change because I have GCA and lost the sight of my right eye and also having read the replies to my pos, advising me against

Will I be put on meds for discoid lupus?
Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me what will happen now that I have been diagnosed with discoid lupus? I have a lot of mild symptoms of SLE but my ANA test was negative. I was given Elocon cream and told to return to dermy in 6-8 weeks. I wasn't given anything for my other symptoms though. Feeling confused

got saliva results ( cortisol )
The results are what I thought, guess I'm here as part of my pity party for myself. They looked practically flat-line. My 8am was 5, normal is 13-24. At 8am should be the highest for the day. You're doing well if you're near the top, at 24. For the day, my "cortisol load" was 14, normal is 22 to 46.

Can anyone help ?
My daughter is now one year on from having a pituitary tumour removed. The problem is she has been left high and dry in the endocrine aftercare department. Her thyroid isn't functioning properly and after six months of insisting we get T3 T4 checked, they found that the surgery had affected her thyrotrophin

feedback loop issue
My doctor just quit at the clinic, so again, I'm in between Doctors and trying to get a game plan in mind. My worry has been if my adrenal glands and thyroid are not able to function right because a few years ago, I was on T3-only, 15 mcg every 12 hours and Hydrocortisone, 20mg spread over the day. I

Update - hydrocortisone during thyrotoxicosis - explanation of cortisol states on thyroid hormones.
I found an answer to my initial query, which was essentially, how do glucocorticoids both assist in the conversion of T4 to T3 while simultaneously inhibiting the same conversion? To put it another way, we must have cortisol to convert T4 to T3 - but glucocorticoids are administered during a thyroid

Urgent - Help me understand the role of hydrocortisone during thyrotoxicosis
If the body needs cortisone to convert T4 to T3, then why does administering hydrocortisone during thyroid storm inhibit peripheral conversion of T4 to T3? Page 678 indicates that cortisone is used to treat thyrotoxicosis, for this reason. http://www.med.illinois.edu/depts_programs/sciences/clinical

DHEA has brought back periods!
Hi I'm posting this to several forums to try to get some advice. I'm treating my adrenals in advance of treating my thyroid, in the hope I might not need to do the latter. Following a saliva adrenal stress test through Dr Sarah Myhill in the UK (where I live), I've been supplementing with 20mg DHEA and
