Dexamethasone suppression test
I've had a dexamethasone suppression test recently, to check for Cushing's. I don't have many of the signs, but do have central obesity. I didn't get much sleep on the night of the test, and felt a bit jittery on the day. I would've thought that if my cortisol was being suppressed I would be sleepier

A little help with results
Back from the doctor with what I am supposing is good news. My doctor has a very thick accent and though I believe him to be very good, I sometimes have a little trouble understanding him. LOL Platelets are now in the normal range. Were 82 now 190. C reactive is down. No h. Pylori. This is what I need

Hope this is okay to ask here
I have been told I have splenic marginal zone lymphoma. Platelet count 82. Also something called c reactive protein. Falling the dexamethasone regiment for treating ITP. Will be getting more blood done soon. Needing help to know what questions I should be asking when I see my doctor again. Thank you.

A diagnosis
Just back from the doctor. After all the blood work and the ultra sound, he says I have ITP. Has given me dexamethasone to take. And will see me again in a month. Is this diagnosis anything that should be discussed here, or do I need to find another group? Thanks for everyone's concern and advice in

High PSA
I'm new to this site, so here's my story so far: Two years ago (when I was 68) I lost my appetite and began losing weight - I went from 12 stone in April 2014 to about 10.5 stone over two or three months. My doctor did not start doing blood tests until June of that year and did not include a PSA test

Dexamethasone Reactions?
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any experience of having done the Dexamethasone suppression test? I've got a it arranged for next week but I'm slightly nervous about having it done. This is really down to the fact that so far I haven't had an actual diagnosis and no doctors know what's wrong

Info on Dexamethasone Side Effects Anyone Please
3/18/2016 I am Adverse to Pharmaceuticals and follow a holistic approach. My hematologist convinced me to try Dexamethasone since my platelets were at 17. ....what a mistake. First of all I didn't know that it is 5 times stronger than prednisone. I was reluctantly open to try it because of the short

No sleep and pain getting worse
Diagnosed Dec 15. 30 mg of Prednisone took pain away instantly. Doc reduced the dose by half and I had full flare. Back up to 20 mg but had to stop as swelling from Prednisone caused such major edema that my breathing was affected. Changed to 4mg of Dexamethasone 2 weeks ago. I now wake up at 3

cortisol levels
Hi This is my first time on here, I was just wondering if somebody could please tell me if 27 is considered normal for a cortisol level after doing a 2 x 24hr urine testing and taking 8mg of dexamethasone suppression test. I was also told that my thyroid levels was 9.7. These numbers mean nothing to

Here we go again! Next stop - private?
It's been a very disappointing & stressful day. I saw an NHS Endo in July this year, he was nice enough but I didn't get the vibe that he was going to be a lot of help from the beginning. But I managed to get some more blood tests ordered from him with a follow up appointment scheduled for today. Well

What a farce! Here are some results anyway!
Following on from my last post where I had seen an NHS Endo, I had more bloods done just before I went away for a short break abroad. I rang to see if the results were back yesterday and yes they were - great! I went to my surgery to get a print out - which thankfully never seems to be a problem with

So it's not Cushings! (no surprise there)
So I got my bloods done last week and I had the test done for Cushings with the overnight dexamethasone test. A Dr from the surgery rang me urgently the following morning which was a bit worrying as I was due to go on a long weekend break abroad but apparently the test had come back ok and he was just
