Down, but not out!
I'm building up to 10k....again....had a rubbish winter( when I'd planned to build up to a half marathon .) I did my first last June and eased off through that long hot summer thinking that I could use the Autumn to do lots of stamina training . Then I would be ready for an hm in early spring. What

Following on from my previous update, (https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/149204484/2-update-adrenal-testing) I have another update. Unfortunately, endo has turned out to be pretty useless.

hydrocortisone or prednisone?
I am wondering which steroid is better for GCA? I was switched over to hydrocortisone by an endocrinologist to “nudge my adrenal glands into waking up” and also the tests to see if adrenal glands are functioning is better done with being on hydrocortisone. I had test last week and adrenals glands are

Does anyone know the ‘HC’ quantity in adrenal cortex? (More specifically Adrenavive III)
I’m trying to figure out how much adrenavive is comparable, if at all, to hydrocortisone dosage. I can’t seem to find any information anywhere with any comparisons and wondered if anyone had any more detailed information. Thanks in advance 😊

Adrenals are working!
I had a ACTH Stimulation Test this morning and just got the results back from my Endo. She said even better than she expected. So now I can start tapering off of hydrocortisone at 1/2 tablet weekly. Currently I am on two 5mg tablets in morning and Two 5mg tablets in evening. It seems a bit fast but

very high cholesterol
I had a visit with my cardiologist (my hero as she was the one to suspect GCA two years ago while dealing with uncontrollable blood pressure and head pain and eye issues) so she knows my whole GCA story. Anyways my cholesterol has gotten very out of control even with taking Crestor, my cholesterol levels

chronic skin itching
I have chronic skin itching. Especially in the night. The more I scratch, the more is itching. I used many home remedies and anything I have heard it is helping. Nut none is helping. I will see a dermatologist next week, thanks God it's not 2 months from now. I started to use today hydrocortisone

Getting circumcised after 7 months of battling with constant Balanitis
I got Balanitis from seemingly nowhere 7 months ago. As soon as I realized something felt off down there I took a trip to the Dr, believing that it would be a relatively easy fix. I was prescribed Clotrimazole, I was so relieved on the way home, thankful for modern medicine. If only I’d known how premature

A tale of probable adrenal insufficiency at 1.75mg / 1.5mg
Having caught a cold recently, resulting in nasty cough, I’m under the weather (still ongoing, but slightly better). On Tuesday evening I began shaking uncontrollably and then remembered the sick day rules. Taking an extra 5mg restored balance and I’m glad I did. The next day I reverted to 1.5mg.

#1: The Start
Following the example of Clarebear I've decided to document my thyroid-adrenal journey on here in hopes it'll keep me accountable, and also may serve some after me. After a long, complicated history of no diagnosis, followed by lithium treatment, then prolonged time spent on T4 with no improvement,

Adrenal fatigue symptoms?
Hi. I have seeing an endocrinologist for about 4 years who is trying to wean me off steroids.

Jaw pain could this be GCA
I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I had PMR for about 3 years and it finally went into remission. I was unable to stop steroids completely due to having acquired adrenaline sufficiency. So I'm now taking a very low dose of hydrocortisone three times a day. But I've been experiencing a great

Eczema around eyes - Any Treatment advice?
Hi! Several months ago I started noticing red marks on my eyelids and above my eyes. This was during an asthma flare up. The doctor has since confirmed it's eczema and it's the first time I've experienced this. I was given Hydrocortisone cream (1%) which I used for 2 courses and this has cleared it up

Have just been diagnosed with bronchomalacia on top of asthma and adrenal insufficiency
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has the same conditions as me. Over the last 14 months I've been hospitalised 5 times and treated with 300mls of hydrocortisone and antibiotics intravenously. As I have acquired adrenal insufficiency my poor body takes ah awful blow and when I come down from the steroids

Brief update on my lower Intestinal Tract Capsule Endoscopy.
Just to let you know that the procedure went fine. Although the camera was a little larger than an Omega 3 high strength capsule, I found that with the right mindset I swallowed it easily. The staff were a little disconcerted about my long term steroid use and the possibility of an adrenal crisis and
