Addissons disease
Good afternoon. I was diagnosed with Adison's disease in 2022. Prescribed Prednisolone 5 mg. Now I take hydrocortisone tablets 20 mg per day. Fludrocortisone 0.1 mg. Once a year there is an Adrinal crisis, I end up in intensive care... Constant weakness, no vitality, I sleep a lot... I am only 43

Down to 6.5mg of prednislone after 10 years of PMR. Suffering with severe anxiety no PMR symptoms. Endocologist has advised adding in 10mg of Hydrocortisone but haven’t started yet I have been on 6.5mg for 10 days and intend to stay at that dose in hope I will stabilise. Been having basal cortisol

Hypo after all?
Hello everyone, this is my first post, though I’ve been gleaning pearls of wisdom from this site for a couple of years, so thank you all! I’m a 60-year-old male. I’ve had chronic fatigue since 1988; tight forehead pain and a horrible “saturated brain” feeling since the late 1990s (brought on by reading

Adrenal Insufficiency and reducing steroid inhaler
Hi,I was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency last year and have been stable on 20mg of hydrocortisone. My respiratory consultant has reduced me from 2 puffs twice a day of 160 Alvesco to 3 puffs once a day. Now I'm feeling unwell. Could the reduction in my inhaler be impacting my adrenal insuffiency

referral - why?
My rheumatologist referred me to an endocrinologist because like many others I was struggling a bit reducing. I was on 4mg of pred. Apparently my synacthen test showed a normal basal level and a post of 432 - suboptimal but near normal. However the endocrinologist said he was “unsure whether it would

Fatigue, coma naps and pituitary
Hey everyone, Has anyone experienced such bouts of fatigue where you fall asleep and you just have to fall asleep that given moment and you are gone for an hour? This started happening to me in July last year, but got increasingly worse over time. I thought it was my iron, but I fixed that with iron

Itching with blood thinners (Apixaban and Edoxapan)
Had to change from Apixaban to Edoxapan due to severe reaction of itching all over the body, it was really bad. The Edoxapan is much better, but still get the occasional real itches on back and legs . but they gave me E45 anti itch cream that REALLY works well and often stops after a few minutes after

Bitter Taste In Mouth
I have had a persistent bitter taste in my mouth since the end of December and the only respite that I get from it is either when I am sleeping, eating or drinking! It’s so bad that it is making me feel quite unwell! I am doing everything that has been advised eg drinking lots of water, brushing teeth

The correct way to ween down on hydrocortisone? Advice please.

Adrenal insufficiency
After 3.5 years on Prednisolone and 1 year of Toccilizumab for GCA including sight loss (late diagnosis), starting at 60mg, I got down to 2mg following a Synacthen test in June 23 which apparently proved my adrenal glands were capable of working. However I couldn’t function at all, extreme fatigue,

Thrush 3 days before FET
Hi everyone, I am booked for a natural FET on Monday (I didn't take anything this cycle, not even progesterone) and the Friday before I discovered that my discharge looked like cottage cheese and I may be getting thrush. Which I haven't had in years! Has this happened to anyone else before their FET
