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

Pituitary Gland?
I don't understand the Pituitary Gland's part in all of this but my brain is working at half power. I've had no thyroid for many years and have only been given levothyroxin. My latest tests come up ferritin 17uglL, B12 71500uglL and Folate 12.3uglL. I've taken in the point about antibodies still attacking

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

Downstairs....
Okay do here's a question I hope some can help me with. The ulcers down there seemed to be healing with the new steroid cream. But now as of about an hour ago, that horrible itching is coming back again and it's not even gone... Does this mean they are going to get worse? Or that it's itching from healing

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

Hydroxocobalamin causing Acne?
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I was diagnosed with PA about 9 months ago. After my loading dose my skin broke out really badly with spots on my face, neck, back & shoulders. I spoke to my GP about this and was told it had nothing to do with the b12 injections as they do not cause acne. When

Newly diagnosed
Hi all. Just after the birth of my fourth child, I developed a slight raised rash on the side of my nose. At the time the doctor said it was probably hormone imbalance which I could quite understand at that time. About four months later, I noticed a rash appearing on the side of my face, which then

Possibly extra things to try...?
Hello lovely coughing people! So... after over a year of brilliant control (mostly), the hurricane and pollen and haymaking have thrown that out the window. Sudden onset but constant coughing / tightness since 6am Sunday. I am lucky to have rescue antibiotics, steroids and nebs at home, so I started

Hydrocortisone 10 mg shortage
Hello, I know a few of us are on hydrocortisone for adrenal insufficiency / Addison's. Unfortunately 10 mg Hydrocortisone tablets have suddenly become hard to get hold of. The department of health has placed them on a 'generics in short supply' list which allows pharmacists to pay extra to get hold
