Synacthen test result. Furious again!
Just rung up to chase the result of my synacthen test. The nurse had told me that she would ring next day if there was any problem, so after two weeks, I've been happily assuming that there was no issue. My GP now informs me that my results show adrenal insufficiency, presumably caused by long term prednisolone

Update
Hello all Just thought I'd update those of you that are interested. Cut a story, I will be having a pre op on the 4th May prior to having a double coronary heart bypass and mitral valve repair at Papworth hospital. Things happened very quickly since my GP said I had a heart murmur. I now carry

Hydrocortisone and white cell count
Hi, I have been on hydrocortisone for about 5 months now perhaps, everything was going ok until the other day I got phone call saying my wbc was low. I’m not on anything else that would affect my wbc, has anyone else had this experience with hydrocortisone? Thank you I.x

(LONG POST BUT IMPORTANT) 1 1/2 year of symptoms, getting worse
I know I have done a post already but I just wanted to make another one because I need advice on the directions I should take, what I should say to my GP and other relevant information - If helped I would like to avoid having to wait 2-3 months for a useless referral which I have had to do about 5 times

Reducing Pred and awful itching rash developed...
My husband has GCA but all seems to be going well and has been doing the very slow reduction process successfully. He is down to 3mg now then 4 weeks ago developed an itchy patch on one arm followed by the same thing on the other arm and it has just gone on spreading all over his body. The itching

Can phimosis come back?
I have recently been listed for a preputioplasty and i'm now wondering if the condition may return at some point, which will then require a full circumcision. Online documentation of the preputioplasty is scarce and lacking in detail. most posts of people praising the procedure are from immediately after

Negative Test Results
If the MRI and LP don’t show meningitis can it still be there? Are there more in-depth analysis of the fluid collected during the LP that could be done? I am in hospital now Day 10, I have many of the the symptoms but tests are clear. They don’t know what to do with me. I can’t function standing for

Does my 3 year old have subclinical hypothyroidism based on this?
Went to GP with toddler as she is a terrible sleeper, constipated, bloated, very cranky/tired/angry, constant rash on chin/face and little hair growth. GP subscribed laxatives, multivitamins and steroid cream for the rash but also said yes to a blood test. (After twisting his arm.) Results came back

Steroid dependency?
I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, but was initially wrongly diagnosed as Polymyalgia for 5yr. I was put on steroids Dec 2012, and every time I try to get below 4mgs I get symptoms of steroids struggling. He feels I may be steroid dependant, but insists we can’t take bloods to check as still on steroids.

Cortisol results: Low at 3 out of 4 readings.
Hi all, I’ve attached an image of my Crotisol + DHEA results that I received yesterday. Looks like I have low cortisol at 3 out of 4 times during the day. Could you please have a look at these and advise how to sort it out? From what I quickly read about it last night, adaptogen herbs may not be enough

Fibromyalgia Symptoms but Vitamin D Deficient - relief!
Hi All, I've been experiencing symptoms as those described for Lupus and Fibromyalgia for some time now - building up over the last 2 years.
