Tests for ACTH deficiency
Other than the short SynACTHen, can anyone recommend any tests for secondary adrenal insufficiency? As a much removed pituitary patient and persistence of symptoms despite T3 (which has definitely helped but not cured) I'm beginning to think of it as a possible culprit. As all find, it takes a good 3

Partial Update
So I did that last sleep study with the PES (long story short, they put a tube up your nose, down your throat, and into your chest and inflate a balloon at the end of it to measure air pressure) and it didn't show UARS (upper airway restriction syndrome), but it did show obstructed sleep apnea. So I

Has anyone tried trihexyphenidyl, procyclidine or orphenadrine ? If so any help?
Dad has had some benefit from the hyoscine patches in terms of improving movement and speech at first, but now they just help with swallow mainly. The patch gives too much of a rash so we may give one of these a try, just thought I'd see if anyone else had tried? It is for Parkinson's really.

Private doctor in or near London please?
I'm seeing a neurologist but it'll be another five months before I get the test results back. In the meantime I need pain meds, and something to calm down the burning sensation/nueron excitocity. I'm managing my condition with meditation, yoga, diet and more. But when I get flare ups, I need medication

Inhalers & Apnea
Inhaled corticosteroids such as fluticasone may quell the symptoms of asthma, but a recently published University of Wisconsin-Madison pilot study suggests that in some people, these inhaled drugs make the throat and tongue more floppy, promoting sleep apnea. Physicians are learning that patients with

Update
I saw the university specialist on friday. She wants to give me oxycontin. But first, she wants me to do another sleep study with esophageal pressure monitoring (*cringe*) to make sure I don't have sleep apnea. If I don't, medicine prescribed, no problem. If I do, she wants to put me on a cpap and then

Afib returned after two years
Had three cardiac ablations. Last one symptom and med free for two years. Always converted with IV meds in under 30 mintues. This time was in rapid afib for 13 days even on meds. Back on Cardizem, Multaq and Xarelto. Had to be cardioverted last week. Will see new EP Wednesday to discuss 4th ablation.

Pain in recovery
I am in recovery from drugs and alcohol...I recently was diagnosed with " opioid induced hyperalgesia" and was taken off all pain relievers. I have torn and frayed rotator cuffs...not bad enough for surgery yet. I also am in the 3 rd stage of degeneration in my 5,6,7th vertebra in my neck. The pain is

This is affect of sleep depravation (on me)
I have long been aware that my catastrophic sleep disorder is damaging and as such I have many self imposed rules, designed to keep me and those around me safe. They include not sending e mails at night or before I have reviewed them. This was in my drafts folder. It starts out ok but the confusion turns

Feeling physically and mentally awful after lap and stopping the triptorelin. How normal is this?
Hi, I had my 2nd lap last Monday, the op went well with fewer endo deposits left after 7 months of triptorelin so that's good! I've been in a lot of pain since, less this week but I just don't seem able to climb out of the hole I'm in. Although I've got some other life stresses ( as we all do) everything

Tear in shoulder tendon
Just to let you know how my husband got on with the GP, he said he would not write to the consultant as there was no point because of the waiting list, he would just have to wait. He said no point in seeing consultant privately unless he could afford to have the op done privately too!!! He did however

How might the care from a regular neurologist differ from one that specializes in parkinson's disease or movement disorders?
I have seen suggestions from people in this group that it's important to find a neurologist that specializes in movement disorders, could you please explain why you feel this is important?

Need help choosing a new neurologist.
I am devastated, my neurologist retired! I had been seeing her for over 10 years, shortly after my diagnosis and really felt comfortable with her. She listened to me, she worked with me on meds, taking any changes very slowly and after 2 years of trying to get me to leave my job, I finally did and she

Anyone here with Endometriosis and Narcolepsy or other sleep disorders?
I have had Endometriosis for 3years (I am 17y/o) and have recently found out I also suffer from Narcolepsy, in the beginning I just figured it was chronic fatigue syndrome due to the body trying to fight off this disease but that wasn't the case. I am wondering whether these two diseases are linked and

Sleep Hygiene
Evening.... I'd promised to message a couple of people with any useful stuff from the part of CBT sessions that focussed on sleep patterns - then I figured I may as well pass it on to everyone. The first thing we covered was that the "8 hours a night" notion is a myth. People differ wildly, and
