Red swollen eyes - linked to underactive thyroid?
Hi all! I was diagnosed six weeks ago with an underactive thyroid and my levels are now normal sitting at 1.3. Six weeks ago it was 8.99. But for two months now I’ve had an on going problem with my eyes, they go red and puffy and swollen and dry underneath, just the skin, not the eye itself. The doctor

Blood test result help
I suffer with hypopituitarism which was originally picked up when I went to a lipid clinic. I take 20mg hydrocortisone and 75mcg of thyroxine daily along with 5mg growth hormone and am also on hrt. I thought this would all help with my cholesterol but if anything it has got worse! I am also waiting

ACTH numbers?
I would like to know what the collective levels of ACTH are . When I first started seeing my endocrinologist my numbers were 103,193,196. This when I started my daily hydrocortisone regimen . I take 20mg right when I rise and then 10mg @ 1. The lowest I was able to get my ACTH was 28 once. Now I am

Facial Seb. Dermatitis
Hi guys, New to this site - I am on NRAS. Diagnosed with RA 5 years ago at 61 years old, I am currently controlled by Methotrexate. Three days before Christmas I developed a horrific red rash side of nose, under nose, all around mouth and covering chin. It frightened my gp who thought it might be a toxic

Depletions of Vitamins and Minerals by Medication
Can anyone point me in the right direction of depletion of Vitamins and minerals by medication. I think there was some government guidance on giving B12 and Vitamins D3, but don't know where to look. My special needs son is low in a few vitamins and I have been supplementing, but this would be better

HHD and the Candida connection
Hi. I realised that I had inherited HHD from my dad 20 years ago, in my 20s. It has been getting progressively worse... In the last year, I gave been suffering from low-body temp and fatigue as well as worse HHD and other symptoms. I thought it was my thyroid, but all blood values are "within range"

Puffy lip
In June this year i went to my GP with a strange puffy area which had suddenly appeared overnight below my bottom lip. She had no idea what it was.

Tips/advice
Is it useful if we pool our shared experiences on how to minimise symptoms into one tread? My ‘tips’ would be (and no science here!) To combat itchy legs post shower/bath, immediately apply Epaderm cream and then trousers/tracksuit bottoms. Lack of air seems to help. To combat night leg cramps I gently

Saliva Test Results - Potentially Low Cortisol?
All, I wonder what you would say about these saliva cortisol results? My AM cortisol looks ok, but then it goes downhill after that and each result is borderline low. Would you treat this with hydrocortisone? I plan to ask my holistic doctor on Tuesday but was curious as to your responses. Thank

Test for aziathioprine levels
I’ve had Chung Strauss for about 5 years now and for most of that time I’ve been on aziathioprine. I did flare around three years ago and my consultant thought it was because I lowered my dose of aziathioprine and steroids too quickly. I’ve been steroid free for at least nine months now and I take low

Secondary Addison’s
I wrote a post a couple of months regarding cortisone levels. I now understand what is going on. I have secondary Addison’s disease, I am now depending on hydrocortisone daily. 20mg is my daily dose but this needs adjusting if I’m ill, sick, stress etc. Since being diagnosed I’ve had one adrenal crisis
