Adrenal insufficiency: a general information post (does not replace medical advice)
Hi all - I just wrote an absolute essay in response to a question about adrenal insufficiency (AI from now on in this post) from steroids. Since this is a question that may crop up periodically (I know I've answered it before), I thought I would copy it here for general information, and to link to in

Hydrocortisone and T3 only
After being on NDT for year and feeling poorly, I am now on T3 only. I’ve started 10 weeks ago with 50 mcg ( I was on 6 grains NDT) and a week ago I was taking 87.5 mcg. I was also put on 15 and then on 25 HC by an integrative doctor. My cortisol saliva test was all 4 low. Last 9 am blood test showed

Ear Eczema
I keep getting an itchy weeping rash on my left ear, I also have scaly itchy skin on the inside. I went to the chemist who said it was eczema and gave me epaderm cream which has really helped. I've had allergic eczema since childhood but have never had it on my ear like this before, can't seem to find

What I wish I had known (and what I have learnt through trial and error!)
Hi everyone Another repost from a couple years ago (and bought it up 8 months ago too apparently) so apologies if you’ve already read it 😉😂. But it’s another thing that those new to asthma may find helpful, and if anyone has anything they want to add just tag in! (I think this is the last for a while

Hi
Hi I’m new to this site. For the last few months I have developed an itchy rash after being in the sun. Then for the next few days I feel fluey, have enlarged glands, swollen knuckles and am really tired. My GP did some blood tests one of which was just called connective tissue disease, result was 0.1

Feeling rubbish! Advice please with latest tests, including vits
Hello all, hope everyone is well. I have secondary adrenal insufficiency, (ACTH deficient) and have been on hydrocortisone for 9 years. Last September I started on Levothyroxine, (25mcg initially, now 25/50 mcg on alternating days), as it appears I’m becoming TSH deficient, and was becoming increasing

Not a medical forum 'per se'
Evening all As there are many of us on this forum with medical conditions I thought I would ask a question. I've been suffering with very itchy skin since about last August and it's getting worse lately. I am itchy on my legs, arms, trunk, back, shoulders and neck, it was so bad last night on one of

Insect bite
I’ve got a bloomin’ insect bite on my ankle which has become swollen. I’ve taken an antihistamine, rubbed hydrocortisone on it and iced it for 15 mins. So annoyed as I might not be able to run for a few days 😬

My son started Hydro when he was 1 year old, he is now 2.5 and they've not changed his dosage. Well there has been two instances now where his temp increases suddenly at night which is then

Efudix overdose
In 2015 I was given Efudix cream for facial AKs. It worked fine and they have now gone. However I started using it on a large white mole on my forearm. I over-applied it and my whole forearm became weepy and very red and sore before I stopped it. About three days later I developed red rashes behind

PMR- a plain English description
PMR is an autoimmune disorder that causes your immune system to not be able to recognise your body as "self" so it attacks cells in the blood vessels and causes inflammation (probably at least. it is almost the same as GCA but they haven't seen where the damage is in PMR).

Itching blisters on my legs
One month before my PMR onset I got these itching, aching blisters on the back of my ties. Looks like herpes but they do not go away without hydrocortisone. They are watery and comes in clusters. When I started my Pred treatment they disappeared of course. Now after weaning off they have returned.
