Switching from Hydrocortisone to Prednisolone
Hi, I've been taking Hydrocortisone for secondary adrenal insufficiency since 2017 after partial removal of a craniopharyngioma. I've been experiencing more fatigue and poor sleep issues recently and it was suggested that I could trial Prednisolone to see it it helped. I wondered if anyone has switched

UPDATE on PMR coming back
I will try to make this as short as possible. I saw my pulmonologist on Thursday and then saw my rheumatologist on Friday. I felt like I was gaslighted by my pulmonologist who said I just needed to give myself more time to her over Covid. However after seeing my rheumatologist she apparently got with

Steroids impacting blood results?
Hi there, I’m new here and am currently on the merry-go-round of trying to find a diagnosis for long-term chronic health issues. (Chronic debilitating fatigue, joint pain, cognitive dysfunction, plus whole host of other weird stuff). Currently under the care of an endocrinologist and a very good GP

Disappointing cortisol blood test
Hello everyone After a 9am cortisol blood test result of 240, I was switched from 4mg prednisolone to 25mg hydrocortisone spread over three doses eight weeks ago to try and get my adrenal glands working properly again. Just had another 9am cortisol test and it was only 40. I am very surprised as I thought

Hello, new here! I hope it is OK to post this question. I wonder if anyone can shed light on a strange symptom I have, that I can't seem to get help with. I get pain in the skin ( a bit like sunburn, a bit like the kind of sensitive skin pain you can get when you have the flu). It moves around the

It's not working.
At the third attempt to reduce Prednisolone down the Osteoradionecrosis in my Right jaw has flared up causing intense pain, sleeplessness and inability to eat. The great Vision of my various professionals is for me to reduce to 5mg and then commence Hydrocortisone 5mg morne/10mg nocte as apparently Hydrocortisone

Eczema
Hi James Following is a copy of an email I posted some 5 years ago relating to the success I had in curing my eczema. Sadly I received no replies from other sufferers so I have no idea if I am the only person to benefit from my fortunate cure. If you are interested I would suggest immediately trying

09:00am fasting Cortisol = 414nmol/L
Happy Easter everyone and hope you are having a lovely weekend. The sun is shining here (UK) this morning and so that always helps. In my previous posts - I mentioned that a private Endo thought that I may have adrenal suppression - based on symptoms. Low blood pressure and heart racing the main ones

Increased food allergies due to lazy adrenal glands?
Hi Has anybody else experienced a sudden increased allergy to foods you’ve eaten/ drunk all your life and are wondering why? I’m wondering if my very lazy, hardly working after 8 years of steroids , adrenal glands are responsible for my sudden food allergies. Dried apricots, chocolate, concentrated

Underarm Rash
I've had a recurring rash in my armpits for at least 2 years. It itches and ranges from mildly red to small bumps to hives. I have seen the dermatologist and tried Tacrolimus, Triamcinolone Acetonide, Serniv, 2% Hydrocortisone, and Muciprocin. Some help a minor amount but it always comes back. Has anyone

Tapering off inhaled steroids due to steroid induced adrenal insufficiency
Tapering off inhaled steroids Seretide has completely suppressed my adrenals. I mean completely. It's been going on for years, but doctors don't 'see' it. An endo saw my low cortisol years ago but didn't act. Now it's gone... ccan my adrenals ever come back? Hospital can't predict. Hospital want me

Endo ZOOM appointment, Adrenal Insufficienccy or Mast Cell Activation
Hi all I just finished a zoom with a Dr Zachariah. Anyone know him. He practices from the Spire - Gatwick and another hospital too - I think Brighton. He thinks the low blood pressure, heart racing / wobbles is probably due to adreanl insufficiency / suppression. I am of the opinion that it could be

Tight foreskin/cracking
Hi there. I'm 23 and I was wondering if anybody can help me with an issue that I've had for a while now, or if you've experienced it yourself and have come a solution. Every now and again, my foreskin cracks which makes it difficult to retract - and extremely sore especially when urinating as you can

Eczema, Rosacea or both?
Hello all, I'm new here. After having several appointments with the GP with no result I wanted to seek some advice online before splashing the cash on a private dermatologist. I'll start by saying I've had eczema all my life (25, male) and as I've gotten older it's been manageable with a topical steroid

prednisolone to hydrocortisone ?
I've been steadily reducing my prednisolone, currently down to 8mg (started on 93mg). Now I have received a letter from an "endocrinologist" which suggests I convert to hydrocortisone (20mg morning, 10mg lunchtime, 10mgs evening initially). It doesn't really explain why, etc. I am assuming hydrocortisone

What is ‘SICK’ as in sick day rules?
On Wednesday last 9 March I went for my second Synacthen Test. That night while watching TV my fingers found a lump on top of my Adam’s Apple. I bathed it with a hot compress but it was no better by Friday (still very red and angry with a white tip) so I eventually got through to the GP surgery. My
