Old people shouldn’t have to worry about Acne and Wrinkles!
I’m 76 today and I constantly have acne on my chin and sometime on my forehead. I use Tretinoin. But is there any advice for acne among my wrinkles?

low cortisol
hello, I’ve repeatedly had lowish 9am cortisol (around 250ish mark) but passed SST. However, private endo has said he wants to trial a low dose of hydrocortisone to see if it helps my symptoms of chronic fatigue, headaches, muscle aches etc. etc. I’m nervous to trial a steroid when I don’t have Addison

Hydrocortisone Tablets
Hello everyone, hope all good & well with you all.. I have been on Hydrocortisone tablets for adrenal insufficiency for about 1 year now, I had been on prednisolone for many years quite a high dose & when I developed adrenal insufficiency I was put on a much lower dose of Hydrocortisone 10 mg morning

Adrenal dysfunction
HelloI'm starting hydrocortisone treatment for adrenal dysfunction. Does anyone know if this will effect b12? Am I OK to continue with EOD injections? I'm wondering now if my symptoms are due to adrenal issues and not b12. Although my b12 before supplements was 215. Maybe both treatments will finally

adrenals not working
After getting down to 3 mg of prednisone (still doing Actemra injections) my endo switched me to hydrocortisone for a couple of months. I got down to two 5mg tablets in AM and one 5mg tab in PM, the PM dose kept my blood pressure from going too low. Last month my endo did ACTH testing and said my Adrenal

Update on low Synacthen test
I posted a few weeks ago about having what I thought was a low Synacthen test of 180. I now have a doctor's letter which tells me it was 130!! They are referring me to an endocrinologist, and he says they may use hydrocortisone conversion. I've never heard of that. Anyone else had it and did it work

Hydrocortisone before blood test
I have a 9am blood test tomorrow to coincide with my doc’s follow up in a fortnight. I’ve had a terrible time with 2 grains of NDT and have returned to using hydrocortisone at 5mg am 2.5 lunchtime alongside 1/2 armour at bedtime. 1/2 armour is all I can manage without crashing. The HC brings immediate

Adrenal insufficiency & cardiac issues update
Busy times here. Last week met with the endo nurse to discuss slow steroid tapering and left with hydrocortisone injections, leaflets in case of an emergency. Very supportive. GP bumped me up the NHS cardiology list. Saw a consultant following a private echocardiogram/ heart monitor. She went through

Post Skin Biobsy Horribleness
I had a skin biopsy yesterday using local anaesthetic, standard skin puncture and a couple of stitches. I actually felt quite well after the procedure but feel like I've been run over by a truck today. I took 5mg of hydrocortisone about an hour ago and now feel slightly better. Is adrenal output taxed

Medrol to Hydrocortisone for suspected steroid withdrawal?
I've been on Medrol since mid-December -Had successfully reduced from 48 mg to 4 mg and was doing well. Reduced from 4 mg to 3.5 mg and have had extreme fatigue, weakness, lightheaded, brain fog, nausea. No signs of PMR flare. Went back to 4 for a couple days, then 6 and still a mess. I felt like I was

Weaning off hydrocortisone
I’ve been taking hydrocortisone for about 3 months via a functional doctor. I’ve just realised I’m on the last strip and wondering if I should be weaning off, and if so how? I do need to make a review appointment but won’t get one before I run out. Any help much appreciated thanks!

On hydrocortisone after being on prednisone for close to 5 years
Anyone else had experience with going on hydrocortisone from prednisone after symptoms of adrenal insufficiency? Endocrinologist saying maybe she can get me off medication when I reach 10 mg.

Increased inflammation-flare?
In September last year my rheumatologist asked if while I was at Mayo Clinic I could see an endocrinologist about a possible testosterone issue. That was ok but I mentioned y long term prednisone, and getting off of them. I was put on 20mg hydrocortisone 10 in am and 10 at 3pm. Reduce to 15 after a month

Hi All, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor grade 2 Ependymoma in March of 2024. I had surgery but the doctor could only remove 10 To 15 % because of the location and several nerves surrounding the mass. I had radiation but after completion there was no change. Didn’t shrink but also didn’t grow.
