Sudden diagnosis of CKD3 a few months following adrenalectomy
My wife was borderline cushing's disease back in fall. For years she had a nodule on her adrenal gland that was creating significant health issues. Had surgery to remove the one gland back in November, and then was on a course of hydrocortisone for about 4 months (gradually decreasing dosage until done

Side effects
Hi all, Mum takes cortisol acertate for adrenal insuffiency. I understand you take hydrocortisone for arthritus. I think it has the same side effects, like electrolyte imbalance and immuno suppression? If so, what did you do to keep your immune system strong? Do you get sick all the time?

I re-started Levo 7 weeks ago and these are my before/after results. I’m self medicating and also use 7.5 -10mg hydrocortisone daily. Without the HC I feel very peculiar and have in the past, stopped the thyroid meds because of it. I’ve managed to be fairly ok this time and I’d like some feedback on

A few developments - anybody got similar
Don’t want to bore you all but I have had a couple of developments recently apart from having my Rituximab extended for another year. Firstly I am on statins since last Thursday, I am fit, I get out, eat a low carb/high fibre diet but my cholesterol is around 7 so it just shows you. No after effects

Strong negative reaction to first Docetaxel treatment
I am participating in an NIH study combining Docetaxel with an immunotherapy. I had my first treatment of only Docetaxel this Tuesday. I lasted 2 minutes and 7cc before I had a severe reaction - severe flushing (glowing red from head to toe), difficulty breathing, sweating, uncontrollable shivering.

Body cuts & fibromyalgia
Unusual question but I cut my leg the other day in a silly accident which left a nasty abrasive wound etc.Have been treating daily with antiseptic cream etc. Has anyone else found wound healing taking much longer to heal. I am on morphine based pain patches. Would this make any difference to the body

update
I took the 10mg of hydrocortisone with my 6.5 of Prednislone a few days ago and I felt terrible high bp,blurry vision, high anxiety.So I’ve now decided to taper instead so yesterday I started on a 0.25mg taper and I’m feeling a tad better. I think I need to taper rather than add anything in as I think

Should go into the OMAHA2a ODM-208 (MK-5684-004): phase 3 trial?
I had my 3 monthly OC visit last week. Blood test is showing 0.3 up from 0.15 six weeks ago. MO is suggesting that I should go into the ODM-208 (MK-5684): phase 3 trial if PSA rises above 1.0. PSA of 1.0 or above is a entry requirement for the trial, presumable to be sure that my current treatment

Rheumatologist advices no reduction of prednisolone while adrenal glands not working and has issued emergency hydrocortisone kit
I've had PMR since October 2020 and managed to get down to 2.5mg of prednisolone in February 2023. But after a flare, I had to raise it to 5mg and have been pain-free since then. I started on methotrexate weekly injections (15mg) in December 2023, with the hope of being able to reduce the prednisolone

I have GCA and I have been tapering prednisone for 3 years. I am on my second attempt at tapering prednisone and just got to 4mg. Last year I actually got down to 3 mg but suffered a 4th and acute diverticulitis attack which was too much for my sputtering adrenals. While in the ER the PA didn’t

Whoops! I made a boo-boo.
A week ago I visited the rheumatologist, who prescribed reducing Prednisone from 5mg to 4g daily and adding 20mg hydrocortisone. All part of the wean-off steroids.Stupidly, and because I was massively distracted by life circumstances, I didn't take in her instructions properly and reduced overnight
