Should go into the OMAHA2a ODM-208 (MK-5684-004): phase 3 trial?
I had my 3 monthly OC visit last week. Blood test is showing 0.3 up from 0.15 six weeks ago. MO is suggesting that I should go into the ODM-208 (MK-5684): phase 3 trial if PSA rises above 1.0. PSA of 1.0 or above is a entry requirement for the trial, presumable to be sure that my current treatment

Rheumatologist advices no reduction of prednisolone while adrenal glands not working and has issued emergency hydrocortisone kit
I've had PMR since October 2020 and managed to get down to 2.5mg of prednisolone in February 2023. But after a flare, I had to raise it to 5mg and have been pain-free since then. I started on methotrexate weekly injections (15mg) in December 2023, with the hope of being able to reduce the prednisolone

Whoops! I made a boo-boo.
A week ago I visited the rheumatologist, who prescribed reducing Prednisone from 5mg to 4g daily and adding 20mg hydrocortisone. All part of the wean-off steroids.Stupidly, and because I was massively distracted by life circumstances, I didn't take in her instructions properly and reduced overnight

Adrenal Insufficiency and reducing steroid inhaler
Hi,I was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency last year and have been stable on 20mg of hydrocortisone. My respiratory consultant has reduced me from 2 puffs twice a day of 160 Alvesco to 3 puffs once a day. Now I'm feeling unwell. Could the reduction in my inhaler be impacting my adrenal insuffiency

referral - why?
My rheumatologist referred me to an endocrinologist because like many others I was struggling a bit reducing. I was on 4mg of pred. Apparently my synacthen test showed a normal basal level and a post of 432 - suboptimal but near normal. However the endocrinologist said he was “unsure whether it would

Fatigue, coma naps and pituitary
Hey everyone, Has anyone experienced such bouts of fatigue where you fall asleep and you just have to fall asleep that given moment and you are gone for an hour? This started happening to me in July last year, but got increasingly worse over time. I thought it was my iron, but I fixed that with iron
