Anyone ever had external signs of liver/gallbladder problems plus high GGT?
Hi everyone. I've been a lurker for some time but decided it's time to post my experience and see if anybody has ever heard of what I am suffering from. I developed a lesion on my lower right abdomen about 18 months ago. It was painless and looked a bit like a bruise. Doc tried steroid cream, antibiotics

Has anyone had experience of using 1% hydrocortisone cream for treating low cortisol?
I have just received my adrenal saliva test results from Dr Myhill. I have low cortisol and she has recommended I use hydrocortisone cream to treat. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has treated their adrenal issues by this method with any advice if pos. Also if not treated in this way

Can insect bites lead to long term skin conditions?
About six months ago I was exercising in the park and experienced lots of nat bites all over my calves. Six months have passed and the bites continue to itch. My skin has started to scar from th constant scratching. The doctors gave me a steroid cream which I applied and it helped bring down the bites

Is this thinned skin forever. Or will it ever recover. I feel so desperate.
It's been 2 years. The steroid cream i was told to use for 6 weeks on my penis for thrush has left me with thin tender skin. I still can't wear clothes or underwear which means I still can't leave my house, and as for inimacy with my partner it is impossible. My quality of life is really bad, what

I think I might have scleroderma. Would 2 major surgeries in less then a year bring it on? Had rash on hands and forearms now for 3 months.
Seeing rheumatologist May 7th. On oral prednisone along with steroid cream for rash. Dr. ordered some labs which didnt show anything. I have never had a rash like this in my life. Red,Itch,burn,feels hot,dry and rough no matter how much moisturizer I use and has turned my skin a darker color. Does this

Has anyone been diagnosed with lung scarring (fibrosis) from tuberculosis? Dr thinks this is what I have.
Do the scars (and thus lung function) stay stable if TB is inactive? Am scheduled for biopsy next week....Thanks everyone.

What is Herd or Community Immunity and why is it important to us?
The Centres of Disease Control and Prevention in the USA (CDC) defines Community immunity or Herd Immunity as [i]"a situation in which a sufficient proportion of a population is immune to an infectious disease (through vaccination and/or prior illness) to make its spread from person to person unlikely

If my doctor offers Thyroxin, do I decline at this point?
For anybody not familiar with my circumstances - I had a full blood count last summer because of feeling *extremely* tired, but my thyroid came back in the normal range (2.67). In Jan, I did a saliva test to check my adrenals, which showed I am in the resistance stage of Adrenal fatigue - with my DHEA

Hydrocortisone dosing for dental work
Hi, I'm on 35mg of HC a day taken (12.5, 10, 10, 2.5). I have some dental cavity work that needs addressing and I'm wondering if I need to increase the dose and what that might look like? Thanks, Dx

Help? I can't use paper to clean myself and need advice to change a wet room.
Does anyone on here have the problem I have in that I cannot use toilet paper to clean? It is because I had a lot of steroid cream that has thinned the skin. They kept saying it was eczema when it was undigested milk fat that burnt my bottom. Point is I have a wet room and changing it. I can't have

Has any one tried 'bio oil' on their spots. Mine have nearly all cleared up but have now left like a red flat mark/bruised looked?
I was using steroid cream which brought the inflammation of the spots right down but now left with these marks all over my arms which I'm concerned wont go. They're not sore or itchy!

Primary tuberculosis of the thyroid gland: an unexpected cause of thyrotoxicosis
Tuberculosis has often been implicated as a cause of specific organ disease - classic example being Addison's disease which was originally identified as tuberculosis of the adrenal glands. Tuberculosis of the thyroid is also documented - but not very often in recent years, in Europe and north America

February's Blog (Part 2) - Wendy's Journey to Diagnosis
Hi everyone. For the second of this month's blogs Wendy has written about her experiences in getting diagnosed with lupus. Thank you so much Wendy for taking the time to share your story.
