DHEA (& Cortisol)
Hello, I received these results today. I would appreciate it so much if someone could give me a steer on the DHEA aspect. I understand cortisol very well and clearly I have some form of adrenal insufficiency. I have 2 questions - 1. Do you think I need hydrocortisone from these results or can I

Could someone help advise what these skin growths/bumps would be? This might be quite long but any help would be great! :)
Hi all, I really hope somebody can advise me! Sorry if this is long. I've decided to finally post online and ask about this problem because I am getting nowhere with it with the GPs or the hospital (more on those later) So anyway, in August 2021, I noticed a red raised bump, looked similar to a spot

Flare I think.
I've been aware of an aching, unlike any aching I have suffered with for several years. It's been around for about 2 weeks and is gradually intensifying towards late afternoon. Across my shoulders, my neck, my wrists. Not enough yet to stop me getting on with things but uncomfortable. Not addressed

Adrenals had it.........
After about 18 years or so with PMR it looks as though i am finally away from it....... My only success was tapering at a quarter Mg per month on a system similar to DSNS... Now i am left with inoperative Adrenal glands (so i am told )......from the long term pred use....... After a pile of tests

Testing my thyroid after stopping levothyroxine
Hi I was put on levothyroxine back in March when my test results were considered borderline. I had to have surgery in April to remove a cyst on my pituitary gland which thankfully seems to have been successful (though I have what is considered to be mild diabetes insipidus which preceded the surgery

Update after visit to Dr re Hydrocortisone.
I'd been imagining that my Dr would be pleased with my taper to 5mg Pred but he was pretty shocked and said it was too quick. We discussed swollen ankles, disturbed sleep, hunger, irritability and anger. He says none of them are side effects of Hydro. My low level anxiety has dissipated so I didn't

Angry, Labile and slightly anxious on Hydrocortisone.
I am feeling well but my buttons are being pushed more easily it feels. I am feeling frustrated when things go wrong. Tearful too! I guess this is normal and have put the mild anxiety (unusual for me) down to adrenalin. I hope I am right. 5mg of Prednisolone which I am pleased about, 30 mg of Hydrocortisone

tapering off hydrocortisone
how quickly does hydrocortisone leave the body? I stopped the oral hydrocortisone 24 hours prior to a morning test.. it was 13.8 mcg/dl . I’m 80 years old. Can I start tapering?

Blood Tests - what to take or not beforehand
Hi, I am a little confused as I am due my 3 monthly blood test for Hyperactive Thyroid and have been told to stop medication 24 hours before the test. I am on Carbimazole 5mg alternate days (Hyperactive Thyroid) and 20mg Hydrocortisone daily (for Adrenal Insufficiency). As my Carbimazole is alternate

Can Acupuncture reduce hot flashes
I’m having 6-10 hot flashes per day/night on Lupron 3-month injections. They’re interfering with my sleep. Hot flashes are the only remaining side effect (of Lupron) after stopping Abiraterone and Hydrocortisone ADT in January 2022 when my MO said my PSA of 0.06 was “near undetectable.” Yippee, a bunch

What next - Hydrocortisone?
As per previous posts. I am taking 30mg (divided doses) + 7mg (down from 8mg) of Pred. I emailed my Dr who is away. He may see my message tomorrow or not. Today is Day 8 of new regime (I could have sworn it was 2 weeks!) and I have had no visible/tangible side effects from the Pred drop. I'd like

Hydrocortisone tablets - buy online
if anyone has a reputable source for hydrocortisone tablets, please pm me. I will be experimenting with 10mg doses for around a month, I’m aware of the side effects and don’t need a lecture. Thank you.

Day 2 of the swap to Hydrocortisone.
I have dropped 1mg of Pred on each day to 7mg, taking 30mgs of Hydrocortisone in divided doses. Is it too soon to be feeling the effect? I seem to have more energy today and wondering if it's just one of those days? I like them, so easy to get stuff done. The Passionflower has been flowering all

Having read some of the posts re Hydrocortisone replacing Pred therapy I'm gonna post about something different. HOT FEET!
My doctor has asked me to drop from 8mg Pred to 7mg and take some Hydrocortisone (can't pick up the script til tomorrow so not sure of mgs) instead. Will report back on how it pans out. However, a few days ago I discovered by chance and amazing treatment for hot feet. Not sure if any of you have suffered

one day after circumcised
the op went well but the bandage has come off the next day, not 3 as in the documents, do I need to re bandage it or just use gauze and Vaseline? the surgery gave me a prescription for fucidin cream should I be using that now or wait the 3 days then use it?

Continuing with hydrocortisone after synacthen test or go back to pred? Dilemma 🙄
I’m not feeling great on hc & wondering if I can switch back to my 3.5mg pred as my appointment to speak to the endo is not for another month & the rheumatologist similar. I have been on 20mg hc morning, 10 lunchtime & 5 if needed at 3, a regime I find very tricky to keep to. In fact I’m supposed to

Seeing endo on Monday – question about low TSH/hypothyroidism
Hi all, I’m still working to get an official diagnosis for the complicated mess of adrenal/thyroid/pituitary conditions I’ve been experiencing for the past few years and have a much-awaited appt with my endo on Monday. I get super nervous before any appts for fear of not communicating clearly enough
