hydrocortisone tablets and asthma
Hello I have adrenal insufficiency and my endocrinologist wants me to switch from 5mg Pred a day to Hydrocortisone tablets. I have severe asthma but the 5mg Pred is just for the AI. Although I feel miles better on HC - I feel very sluggish and tired on Pred - I've tried two different brands of HC tablets

Drop in FT4 and FT3 but no change in meds.... confused!
Evening everyone, its been a while since I've been on here. Hope everyone is well? I have an appointment next week with my Endo and as he always does he sends me for bloods a few weeks before, for some reason this time they forgot to do the FT3 and he wanted to check my morning cortisol too, so he sent

Prostate cramping...
I recently finished up 40 sessions of radiation. First, generally over the prostate bed, finally more targeted "boost" at prostate and lymph node areas. Doc cut short the plan from 46 planned because my pain is so bad. I have these intense cramps that make me feel like im going to crap my pants...

Confused about acquired adrenal insufficiecy
Just had a confusing telelphone call with endocrinologist. I had my second short synacthen test a few weeks ago. It showed adrenals not working. I am on 5mg of pred. The test was organised by rheumy when I got down to 5mg. Todays endocrinologist said 5mg was too much and adrenals would not wake up on

Why did I go looking... Zinc inhibits cortisol
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1702662/ So I need to add that into the supplement timing game... not much good taking it at the same time as Hydrocortisone or Adrenal Glandular 😮 https://medericenter.org/resources/dr-pamela-blog/zinc-and-the-stress-response.html Might be handy for anyone with high

Any advice welcome on latest blood tests
I've been tinkering around with Hydrocortisone and thyroid replacement for over a year now and been symptomatic for almost 4 years with low tsh and frees.

Synacthen Test looming in a moment...quick query
Morning all, I've been missing this forum due to events taking a turn for the worst. I'm at the lowest ever dose 5mg pred. Not been feeling well since January, loss of appetite, occasional vomiting, the worst insomnia and even more fatigued. Upper endoscopy showed 'sliding hernia' (gp's suggestion).

How long did it take for your ACTH to come back?
Hi everyone, Hope your all safe and well. So i am currently taking 15mg of hydrocortisone a day. I was diagnosed with secondary adrenal insufficiency after i had adrenal crisis last year. It has been about 14months now and a recent synactican test shows my cortisol level at 0mins at 70 and only rises

Hydrocortisone versus Prednisone
My wife was diagnosed with addison's disease, she started using predsinose up to 7.5mg daily and 0. 2mg of fludrocortisone, after starting the treatment she had a slight improvement, she came out of the crisis she had when she was diagnosed with the disease, but to have a slow pace of life, she did not

Burning mouth
Have you ever experienced burning mouth or burning in any other part of head? Recently I noticed tingling in tongue and twitching. Twitching stopped and now I feel burning. I tried to find such symptoms among other people with AMN, but failed even among people with cerebral ALD. I tend to attribute every

Hydrocortisone and LDN?
Hi all, wondering if anyone has tried hydrocortisone and LDN at the same time? I've just started low-dose HC for very low cortisol (ahead of adding T3 to T4 shortly, trying to make it easier on adrenal system). I keep going back and forth about LDN and whether it's worth trying or if it's too much at

Very High Reverse T3 level. Should I be concerned.
Out of the blue I decided to get my Reverse T3 level checked as I’ve never had it done before and I was rather curious. I have Central hypothyroidism. I currently take 150 mcgs of Levo , 20 mcgs T3 and 10 mgs of hydrocortisone. My most recent blood results were - TSH - 0 ulU/ml

Adrenal crisis experiences & prevention please.
After witnessing mum’s full on adrenal crisis - unconscious for 90mins - we are thankfully now back home. I have emergency hydrocortisone and packs to read regarding all the different sick day rules. The endocrine nurses were lovely and I now have their contact details, but I am wondering if any
