Fostair - lactose-free?
I just had a telephone consult with my respiratory consultant. As the steroid in my Seretide inhaler is thought likely to be the cause of my recently diagnosed adrenal insufficiency, he proposes to switch me from Seretide to Fostair as the steroid in that is less potent. I am seeing conflicting information

Varicose veins with scleroderma
Are there any other LSSc people out there also suffering from varicose veins? At my last check up with Royal Free I pointed out lots of new burst veins/ thread veins in my legs. They said it as early varicose veins, but they would ask my GP to refer me to vascular specialist close to me. RF implied

cortisol/underactive thyroid
Out of interest, if your cortisol is high in the morning, would taking your levothyroxine in the morning make you feel even more stressed/twitchy?

Reactive and exercise-induced hypoclycaemia
Morning all,I I have an appointment with an endo in June to work out whether I need thyroid medication, but think that I’ve worked out that my main problem ( since my hemithyroidectomy) is reactive ( post prandial) and exercise-induced hypoglycaemia. I have read that there is a known link with the

Hair Loss on Acalabrutinib
Has anyone suffered significant hair loss while taking this drug? Does the hair loss stop at some point in time. Does the hair regrow? This is the one thing the oncologist said wouldn't happen. I have been taking an iron supplement and 5,000 mcg of biotin, information that I read in other posts. My hair

Underactive thyroid
Hi, my thyroid levels have been up and down recently. I've been on 125mcg and felt fine until the GP decided, after a blood test, to lower the dose. The dosage I need isn't available so I'm now on 100mcg for 5 days and then 112mcg for 2 days. Is this an ok thing to do? Thanks.

What happens to your thyroid levels
Question of curiosity. If someone is having a seizure and they take bloods for thyroid levels would your labs show a low level of thyroid hormones or would it show a higher level of hormones? I thought I read that if it you fall ill like have a seizure that your levels will drop to protect you???

Update following meeting with MO
For those following my journey, I had a face-to-face meeting with my MO today and learnt a few things I didn't know. Firstly, the genetic test of the liver tumour the NHS do only tests for BRCA - no other genes. The reason appears to be that the only treatment they would offer is a Parp inhibitor so
