prednisolone to hydrocortisone ?
I've been steadily reducing my prednisolone, currently down to 8mg (started on 93mg). Now I have received a letter from an "endocrinologist" which suggests I convert to hydrocortisone (20mg morning, 10mg lunchtime, 10mgs evening initially). It doesn't really explain why, etc. I am assuming hydrocortisone

Eczema, Rosacea or both?
Hello all, I'm new here. After having several appointments with the GP with no result I wanted to seek some advice online before splashing the cash on a private dermatologist. I'll start by saying I've had eczema all my life (25, male) and as I've gotten older it's been manageable with a topical steroid

What is ‘SICK’ as in sick day rules?
On Wednesday last 9 March I went for my second Synacthen Test. That night while watching TV my fingers found a lump on top of my Adam’s Apple. I bathed it with a hot compress but it was no better by Friday (still very red and angry with a white tip) so I eventually got through to the GP surgery. My

Endocrinologist and Hydrocortisone
Hello all After many months of waiting I finally got to see an Endocrinologist as I have been unable to reduce prednisolone below 3mg without feeling really ill and in fact have been on 4mg since November. My 9am cortisol test was in the 200s. I have a little stiffness in the usual places at times but

What is going on with my shoulders
My PMR symptoms were never exactly like what is typical. My PMR pain was in my upper legs. However, I have a bad back and lots of pain from that so I don't notice any different pain in my hips. This all started 5 years ago. After 3 years I had to stop taking prednisone because I developed severe osteoporosis

Adrenal Insufficiency - it is possible to recover with severe asthma?
So it was confirmed that I have secondary adrenal insufficiency the other week. They did also look at Primary but my blood results have shown that it is down to the steriods taken for my asthma. My cortisol level was again below 28 and unreadable but surprisingly my ACTH came back at 49. Renin was high

Painkillers
Due to previous Radio/Chemo on the neck area I have developed necrotic breakdown of the bone tissue in the right side of my jaw and when I lapse in the constant Gruel I consume it can flare up and become so painful I cannot sleep or eat. The situation is complicated by GCA and in the past Co-codamol/

tapering of steroids while on hydrocortisone
Hi all Further to my last post, GP went ahead with the endocrinologist plan to taper me off my daily 5mg Pred to try and get my adrenal glands working again! I started to take hydrocortisone tablets 2x10mg a day yesterday and 4mg of Pred. All through yesterday I felt much less tired and washed out and

When to take Thyroxine advice please
Hi everyone, I’ve been taking my thyroxine (100/125), with all my morning meds + tiny bit of food, followed by breakfast 60-90 minutes later for 10 years and my endo says this is fine. I can’t say I’ve ever felt the thyroxine’s made any difference, and lately other major health problems have begun

Hi everyone I was put on 5mg Pred in 2020 due my asthma flaring up after several emergency courses (actually think it was Covid but no testing around at the time) and to cut a long story short my cortisol levels are now very low. Had to really push respiratory to do a short synacthen test, which came

Covid.
I turned up positive for Covid Wednesday after taking an LFT despite living like Howard Hughes (minus the bank balance) for two years. I am on Methotrexate, Prednisolone, Hydrocortisone and Tocilizumab yet despite that lot throwing the gates wide open in terms of having any immune defence they are some
