switch to hydrocortisone
I’ve been to see the endocrinologist today on the recommendation of the rheumatologist. I had a borderline synacthan test , on the basis of which today he has suggested I switch to 5mg of hydrocortisone twice daily from 4 mg of prednisolone. In the background to this I have also been prescribed low

‼ The lesion featured in this post may look like eczema or benign skin lesion, but it is in fact a melanoma! In rarer cases, all types of melanoma can lack pigmentation – these are known as amelanotic melanoma. Jane’s story below highlights just how important it is to get any abnormalities checked out

To circumcise or not to circumcise
Hi I'm 45, fit, not smoking, very little alcohol, regular exercise. Few years ago I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosis by a leading UK expert in genital dermatology prof Bunker. I didn't have any severe symptoms just some small red spots but no pain etc. at least not visible to me but he was confident

Steroid-based inhaler warning
**Moderator note to anyone reading: if you have similar concerns please speak to a medical professional - don't stop your steroid inhaler or any other steroids if you're worried about adrenal insufficiency. It's dangerous for both adrenals and asthma.**

It felt like Levothyroxine was poisoning me :(
It felt like Levothyroxine was poisoning me :( Hi all, Im new here and this is my first post. On the 20th Dec 23 I came off of my dose of 150 Levothyroxine completely (cold turkey). It genuinely felt as if I was being slowly poisoned. I was constantly shattered, I couldn't think straight, i was so,

Anyone here on hydrocortisone and thyroid meds?
Hey all, Started hydrocortisone trial today as I'm having trouble tolerating thyroid meds and my morning saliva cortisol was 7% range, early afternoon was 9%, the rest was good. Any success stories? How much hydro do you take and your thyroid dose? I'm currently just trialling hydro, 10-7.5-5-2.5 mg

Possible Kidney Failure

Itchy skin
Hi I have suffered with poly myalgia for about four years. Having been prescribed predisalone 20mg daily the pains went away and I am on a very very slow reduction, now only 1.5 mg daily. Six months ago I started with patches of itchy skin, sides of hands, hairline and round my eyes. GP thought it

New to biologics - don't feel particularly well.
Evening all. Hope everyone is managing ok in this cold weather 🥶. So in the last 2 weeks I've had to take rescue doses for my adrenal insufficiency, had 2 emergency hydrocortisone injections (each one administered by work colleagues a week apart) as not caught early enough and generally felt off.

GVHD and skin dryness.
Unfortunately I have chronic graft versus host desiese of the skin and have controlled it with a steroid cream since my ASCT a year and a half ago. My only issue currently is that I find it hard to look after the skin on my hands and feet that are dry and chapped. I have used quite a few emoluments

winter/cold affecting psoriasis
As the temperature has considerably dropped over the recent weeks I have notices my psoriasis flaring up, but being more painful then normal and being externally cracked and itchy. I already suffer with really bad itching which I take 180mg of fexofenadine twice a day for but it doesn't seem to be helping

Anyone taking hydrocortisone with mid-high serum cortisol, but lowish saliva?
Hi All, I am trying to evaluate my options. Next is cortisol. My blood serum is always good, over midrange to high, but saliva tends to be low on a couple of points and normal/high on the other three (I do 5 point saliva). I have some hydro at home, but not sure I should take it with good blood serum

Live vaccine for dengue fever
My son lives in Bali. He is in the middle of a very severe bout of dengue fever. I am going to visit him for 3 weeks in July. He has suggested I should have a vaccine before I go. I can find that it is called a " live attenuated dengue tetravalent vaccine". Even the vaccine side effects can be pretty

Eczema
Hello! My 18-week old daughter was diagnosed with baby eczema last month. Her dad has eczema too. We have been on and off the steroid cream since :( Any tips on how to manage it and what has worked best for your little ones? I am off dairy, eggs and soy, also gluten-intolerant so no wheat and oats either
