T3 and dropping cortisol levels
Since starting on T3 6 weeks ago my morning cortisol level has dropped. I know that Paul Robinson says that taking T3 cannot affect cortisol levels. I am trying to understand what might be going on before I see my consultant next Thursday. I am here talking about 9am serum tests because that is what

ITCHY LEGS
Hello, I have had itching in my lower legs for years, used cream for dry skin but tried to cope. I now have Lymphoedema on both legs, after having surgery for Cancer and the Lymph nodes removed from both sides of my pelvis, and wear compressions. The itching is really bothering me.

Update on surgery and remission - still doing good - enrolling in a clinical trial, I hope
I had surgery December 13th. They took 14 inches of my colon due to recurrent diverticulitis. And good they did. 5 inches was narrow and stiff and not functioning at all, as I also had a benign but inlfammed tumor over my bladder. So a lot of chronic inflammation has been going on for years they said

Chemo head rash (or maybe NUBEQA)
I don’t see a lot of posts in this form about developing a rash on your scalp after chemo. Looking for any home remedies or OTC products others who’ve experienced this might suggest. My scalp started itching on Friday (day 8 after first docetaxel), then on Saturday a bunch of red bumps appeared

Experience of using hydrocortisone tablets to improve low adrenal reserve
Hello all, I would like to hear about your experiences of using hydrocortisone at very low doses, as suggested by Dr Peatfield, to pep up adrenal function, with the goal of eventually weaning off it if suitable to do so. What dose did you use, for how long, and did it help you, particularly in relation

Finger infections with secondary raynauds
Hi all, I've got a skin infection on my finger at the side/base of the nail - the area has swollen up and the skin is very red around it, it has puss coming out etc. I've now had it for about 10 days and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I've been bathing it in cooled boiled saltwater several

The joy of the unclear diagnosis 😂
This is a verrrry long post!! If anyone actually reads to the end you have my full respect I’m a returning member to the forum. I used to be active when I was being treated for severe asthma. I used to routinely end up in hospital for basic chest infections, and struggled with chest aching and tightness

Hi everyone
Hi everyone, I'm new on here but have had eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis for some time. I'm from Manchester, UK and I've currently noticed the skin on my face flaking. It's driving me mad. I've been using Dermol 200 for showering and now moisturising my skin (including my face) but it doesn't stop

The relationship between thyroid and adrenals
I understand that being hypo can put strain on adrenal output, but is it the same in reverse? Ie. would adrenals which are under unrelenting stress for a number of years undermine thyroid output due to an HPA feedback malfunction? I have low ft4/3 and tsh so I’m not classic hypo. I’ve been diagnosed

Possibly not an ET symptom but thought I would ask :)
Hi everyone, I thought this place would be a good place to ask as it's a wealth of knowledge 😊 and it might be ET related or not. I have never experienced this before. Yesterday evening at home most of my toes on my left foot suddenly felt very itchy and red and a bit swollen. They are also tender at

Weeks in pain and return of lack of Spoons
For weeks now, with all the jiggery pokery with my Pred and Hydrocortisone , I've been in constant pain unless I take the French equivalent of Co-Codamol x 3 per day. I have finally kicked the Hydro, after the last week on alternating days and I think now 2 days free. Pred is at 8mg which is where it

adrenal insufficiency/prednsiolone
Hi everyone I've posted about this before, but I have adrenal insufficiency due to Prednisolone use, been on 5mg a day for over 2 years now, purely for cortisol replacement rather than asthma. I have a appointment coming up with the endocrinologist in a few weeks. I saw one privately about 6 months

Questions about using hydrocortisone instead of cortex?
Hi everyone, *post for a friend* does anyone with confirmed low cortisol on a 4 point saliva test currently use HC? Beginning to wonder if cortex might not be enough as I am having a lot of intolerance symptoms persisting after armour dose increases.. (vitamin deficiencies all ruled out/optimised

The damn peaks and troughs
I wonder if this might resonate with anyone. I'm currently self-medicating for what I think is secondary hypo, 10 mg Hydrocortisone first thing and 50mcg Levo at bedtime. It's very early days with the meds but the hydrocortisone had an almost immediate positive effect. For the past 3/4 years I have had

The need for FT4, FT3 and TSH tests
Hi. Sorry I've written about this before and cannot find the responses to my question. I have an appointment with my endocrinologist tomorrow morning. I asked if I could have Free T4 and T3 and TSH tests done. I made it clear in my request that I needed all 3. Frustratingly I had blood tests

It's not going well and I am feeling low.
As I have posted previously, on 21/08 at the behest of my Dr I started Hydrocortisone and reduced my Pred down to 7mg. (I note from my original post back then I write, [i]I am not full of energy even on 8mg...just plodding along[/i]. ) I felt good for a couple of weeks and dropped the Pred again.

My Dr appt this evening.
He wasn't unhappy with my rejig. I'd raised Pred to 7mg from 5mg and left off the lunchtime Hydrocortisone (20mg). He's okay'd me to stop the Hydrocortisone completely and referred me back to Rheumatologist to investigate potential Rheumatoid Arthritis in both hands. She'd mentioned my hands in
