Endo visit

[Guest guest]

Just got back from my appointment, he was actually a nice enough man,

but did rubbish my adrenal profile results as very inaccurate, I

pointed out the grey areas between s and Cushings but he didnt

seem to agree, he has advised I stop the HC so they can do their

adrenal tests, when I saw Dr P and he did the adrenal tests on me he

didnt seem to think my adrenals were too bad and it was me who asked

him if I could start the HC, he didnt tell me at our meeting to start

it, so I think I will boost my adrenals in other ways and gradually

reduce the HC. The endo did say I could just stop as I havent been on

it long, 5 weeks but not at full 20mg dose, but I said I would prefer

to withdraw slowly. He took bloods etc and there were traces of sugar

in my urine so hes took blood for diabeties too, maybe thats why I

havent felt well?! Who knows. He did say I could go back straight on

150mcg of T4 but I said no way! I said I would wait until I get the

bloods back from today and see where my levels lie. So all in all I did

know what he would say and no surprises really. He did say the 20mcg of

HC would be too much if my adrenal were ok and could cause me problems,

weight gain etc and I said well it hasnt made me feel any better!

I dont think I should have a problen stopping the HC but will taper it

anyway
