RA and Addisons
Not been on for a while, along with RA have now been diagnosed with Addison's, am just getting my head around that, am now on Filtgonib (trial drug) which works well for joints, however I now have to take high doses of Hydrocortisone because my body is only producing tiny amounts of natural steroid,

My 19 year old son was just diagnosed with primary Addisons disease. The only symptoms he has are looking tanned and lost 10 pounds. His Am cortisol levels were very low. His Acth leves very high and very high antibodies. Otherwise he is feeling fine. (Possibly slightly fatigued, but nothing terrible

Adrenal insufficiency from long term prednisolone
Hello, I am brittle asthmatic (Severe / difficult to manage etc) and have been on prednisolone in various doses for well over 20 years. Recently, it transpired, after a cortisol test that my levels are less than 11 (Usual levels should be 140-690) - I found out the results from my Rheumatologist 6 weeks

Scabies???
I have been very itchy for around 2 months or so under my leg by my bum, on my wrist,armpit and also the side of my hip and it’s a lot worse at night times/morning I went to the doctor last month they said contact dermatitis and to use hydrocortisone for 2 weeks didn’t work. Any suggestions! Thanks

An Answer I Didn't Want - PVFS - Final Diagnosis?
It's been quite a while since I've been active here, and my health has been up and down. But for the sake of the community, I figured I should share what I've learned. My hypothyroidism appears to be both primary and secondary, TPO-Ab borderline but definitely positive, yet fluctuating function not explained

Failed by asthma care
It’s been a while since I have posted on here as I’ve been trying to muddle along but after a really tough week with my asthma and trying to get the care I need, I felt I needed to post. I did an event with work last week and on the Wednesday my chest felt tight but I cleared it myself with my Ventolin

Adrenal Suppression
I have posted recently that I was about to undergo a short synacthen test to discover if my adrenals were suppressed. Two weeks later I have had a phone conversation with my GP who tells me the Rheumatologist has referred me to an Endrochronologist & yes my adrenals are suppressed. The Rheumy suggests

Reverse T3 Results Interpretation
Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with interpreting my recent reverse t3 results. My History- diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2015.

Hydrocortisone and Levothyroxine?
Just want to double check something please! I have just been started on 25mg of Levothyroxine by my IVF clinic; we were due to do an embryo transfer this month, after our first cycle ended in a miscarriage, but further testing picked up that my TSH is 3.1, which they aren’t happy with. I am super keen

Acute adrenal insufficiency after tapering steroids
I just finished a ten-day course of steroids (I was also on a 5-week-long course of steroids in January and February of this year) and I think my adrenals just completely crashed from so many months of suppression. I wound up in the hospital last night with chills, a pounding headache, my whole body
