Lady problems & asthma/addisons

I've never really noticed any issues before but since being diagnosed with Addisons have been more aware of feeling I'll & needing more nebs as my chest is playing up. I know there are a few people who use this site who have both

How much Pred do you take?
I have noticed over the years that people take different amounts of Pred for exacerbations and wondered what the maximum effective dose would be. My son who is 14 has never taken more than 40mg, whether the Gp has prescribed it because he is starting to dip or when he's been in hospital needing IV's

Adrenal Insufficiency?
Hello, I know a lot of us on here are steroid-dependent for asthma control, but I was wondering if anyone else had become completely steroid dependent physiologically? I had the short synacthen test, and the results were bad. I then had the long synacthen test, and as a result of that, i've been told

Pred and hydrocortisone??
Been told today that our little girl (aged 2) is going onto a daily maintenance dose of Pred. We were also given a very quick demo and vague explanation of an additional hydrocortisone injection she may need if in an accident or if she has a vomiting bug for example. Thing is I'm confused. Not about

Hi there Does anyone with asthma suffer from incredibly dry skin? My eyelids are sometimes so itchy it's unbearable - although when I take my preventer regularly the problem seems to disappear. the problem is primarily on my face, although I have two nasty patches of excema (which I have suffered

adrenal insufficiency following long-term steroids
Thanks to long-term oral steroids, my adrenal glands function at about 5% of normal output and therefore I have to take hydrocortisone. However getting the balance right between sufficient cortisol intake & trying to ""wake up"" my adrenal glands is difficult. I often experience extreme fatigue (don't

Hi I am new user - be gentle with me!! I have had asthma since age of 12 or so when it was more allergy based then and I thought I had grown out of it as I had no real breathing issues with allergies for years. At the age of 36 I had a persistent cough and was treated for chest infection. It never

Bag/container for syringe?
Just wondered if anyone could tell me what they carry their meds round in? We've just been told Maddie (2) needs hydrocortisone injection if she goes into crisis. Trouble is I'm not sure what I should carry it around in as obviously we need it on us at all times. Anyone?

allergies to IV hydrocortisone anyone?
Just wondering if anyone else has allergies to IV hydrocortisone? It's been suggested that I may be allergic to it, as I always seem to deteriorate very rapidly once in hospital. Have now been told to avoid it, and have either methylpred or dex instead. Any thoughts?

Post Hospital Discharge
Hi all, My asthma has been shockingly uncontrollable for about 4/5 months now, culminating in being admitted to hospital for 2 weeks after catching the flu. I've always had asthma, with the occasional blip here and there, but by and large it has always been well controlled and has always responded well

Asthma, Panic Attacks & Adrenal Insufficiency
Ok, I have a confusing one here and don't know what to make of it! My son has severe asthma and is on all sorts of meds including long term Pred. I have been advised that during bouts of increased stress/illness he should take additional Hydrocortisone. Recently he has had a few asthma attacks that

First time at A&E - was scary (sorry, bit long)
Had an attack on way to work today - fortunately hubby was driving - and quickly realised wasn't getting better with Ventolin, so asked him to turn round and take me to hospital. Had to battle with the traffic back into town. By the time I got there I was nearly passing out, hyperventilating too and

adrenal failure
Hello everyone I have total adrenal failure, along with other endocrinological problems (premature ovarian failure meaning that I produce no sex hormones, and also very low / borderlerline thyroxine levels). I have taken a lot of short doses of prednisilone over the years, but have never been on steroids
