Adrenals
A
pituitary
tumour
resulted in damage to it in that my adrenals were affected to produce cortisol, hence PMR developed 3.5 years ago. I'm not sure if any cortisol is produced at all. Perhaps a morning cortisol test may reveal this dilemma?

How long did it take you to receive biological treatment after diagnosis RA or Psoriatic arthritis and what qualifies you to receive biological treatment?

Cushings and thyroid
So I've been having multiple tests for hormones and a dexamethasone 1mcg suppression test Wass done as my cortisol remained higher than 50 (the cut or is 50mnol and mine wasac 85. I was wondering if anyone has had cushing tests on here and if this lack of suppression can be caused by anything else. I

Suspected Cushings or just hypo
Hey everyone, My endo is sending me for an MRI of pituitary and CT of chest, pelvis, abdomen and adrenals. My salivary cortisol seems to go up a lot after adding t3, my blood cortisol is over range and I'm having issues raising thyroid meds, keeping me in a hypo state. Apparently I could have a tumour

Duration of a first NHS Endocrinologist Appointment
Is a first, initial NHS Endocrinology appointment for hypothyroidism, which appears to be possible central hypo, genetic and suggestive of a
pituitary
tumour
of 30 minutes duration, then thrown out regardless of time required to discuss the problem? G.P. appointments are 10 mins. maximum.

Best supplementation?
After years of private testing due to unusual symptoms and results I have discovered I have secondary hypothyroidism under investigation currently for a
pituitary
tumour
, but also now primary with hashimotos.

Cortisol questions
As I've just done my cortisol tests I've been pondering things. 1) How quickly do cortisol levels change? I know they change throughout the day but do they change week to week? Could my cortisol, for example, come back ok this week but if I do it next week the results would be dreadful? 2) if my results

Iodine and Povidone - A Chemistry Lesson
Over the years, we have seen many mentions of povidone-iodine. This video is the first time I have ever come across a proper explanation as to why povidone-iodine is chosen! It then continues with its aim of extracting pure iodine from povidone-iodine. The video could be very boring if you are

‼ The lesion featured in this post may look like eczema or benign skin lesion, but it is in fact a melanoma! In rarer cases, all types of melanoma can lack pigmentation – these are known as amelanotic melanoma. Jane’s story below highlights just how important it is to get any abnormalities checked out

Selegiline side effects
Hi All. Due to drug shortages we've been unable to get rasagiline and had to swap to selegiline. Since the swap mum has had lots of unusual bleeding and the GP thinks it may be a side effect of the selegiline. Just wondered if anyone else has had similar problems and if so how did you resolve things?

Crack in cranioplasty
I had a TBI when I was 6 years old and had plastic fitted into the back of my head to close it (cranioplasty). Some time ago however, I started getting some sudden pain (once I felt an electric current running through the back of my head; at age 40). After an MRI and CT Scan, it was found that I somehow

Masced Pro Training
‼ Over 25% of GP consultations are dermatology related, yet GPs only receive around 2 weeks training on dermatology AS A WHOLE - so unless a GP has what is referred to as 'a specialist interest in skin cancer', they have little-to-no training on the subject! That’s just one of the reasons why we developed
