Guest guest Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Mo, Do you have Holmes book "Tears behind closed doors". That would be a very good one to lend the endo (and nurse). She had many diagnosis from many 'clever' consultants but was still very ill and in a wheelchair. Finally, after many years of being ill with all kinds of medication for all kinds of diagnosed illnesses, she saw Dr. Peatfield and has never looked back. Once her thyroid had been treated ("no it definitely is not your thyroid") her life was given back to her. I hope you get sorted soon.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi M Yes I did have an FT3 done and did not take my T3 for quite some time beforehand, my TSH was suppressed, FT4 was barely in range and FT3 ditto, both at bottom so of curse that means I am not hypothyroid.One downand one to go ie the ACTH which they will use to prove that I do9 not havce addisons I suppose and then it is on my records that I am def noty hypot or hyypoA and am taking meds that are making me ill. My major [robolem is that I have been trying to get optimised for five years and it is just not happening. I cannot get the adrenals straight which is the first imortant step, I have tried everything I think over the years with the help of hi list and others. I habe gone up ahd down the scale with hc and t3 and Armour and Pred etc etc I cannot stopmy hc from lunchtime and I believe some other med shoould be taken to stop ill effects. Peeps do have odd reactions do they not? I thought I read that one one of the lists. A different med should be taken n place of the hc to stop bad reacions. I am desperately ill here, have been going unconscious and otherhorrors from a badly managed sleeping pill withdrawal. I am lonely and frightened and hopeful the advocate can helpme. Iam a LOT more ill than the usual thyroid adrenal illness that is with me moswt of the time, this is serious life-threating stuff, if anyne has time or incinatin pse google CITA benzo abrupt discontinuation sundrme which is where I have been for last monjth(s). The withdrawals case a huge strain on the adrenaks whuch then on top ofr the withdrawal hrrism casue the thyroiid to go out of whack. All of this whiuolst having the flu except isit is not real flu through identifcal in every way excepyt no rerspitaroy symptoms, it is withdrawals. I a beginning to suspect that my liver issues ay be impluicated in me perhaps not being able to process hc and t3, i hqve been infiormed b y helpline that it can go three ways meds stay n the system too long, the usuakl case with skuggish liver meds get used uo reakky quickly, paradoxically\or meds can go straight through the liver without any uptake at all. I have gone to v hiugh doses of T3 and I dnt think I have ever gne hyper so maybe it is possibole that I am the 'paradxical' patient and that is why I cannot get oprimised. Because of my loiver? Desperately looking for info on this, trying to get hold of helpline guy who told me this with no success so far. Am asking fo referallo to top doc hepatologist in onon and neurologist, brain v bad againm v v bad and I amn reading that aq lot of 0eople with /cfs have brain lesions when scanned. And that this can happen with hypot also. PLUS my mother's brother and sister both died in the last little while from dementia. I reallu need some helppse.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi Mo I have never taken HC so somebody else needs to advise -if you are so worried ask your advocate to talk to PALS at the hospital that is what they are there for .

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hi Mo If you are going through a terrible withdrawal then you body is likely under a lot of stress at the moment. I wonder if it is wise to be stopping the HC for the test? There is a steroid they could put you on called Dexamethasone for the purpose of doing the test. This steroid would be equivalent to your HC but it would not affect the results of the synacthen test. Normally a patient would be on Dexamethasone for 1-2 weeks before the test is done. Maybe you should ask the nurse if you could swap to this steroid in the interests of your safety. I don't think people (ie nurses and doctors) who don't take HC understand what it is like to withdraw from HC and how ill it can make you feel. Take care Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hi Mo - I did write to all three medical advisers but was told that they couldn't advise what you should do unless they had seen you in the flesh and had more information about you and the other drugs you were taking. Can you ask your GP to refer you to a consultant psychiatrist as such a specialist would be best to help you in your present situation. Can you change your GP. You need to contact your local PCT and tell them you feel your present GP is damaging your health. Telephone them on Monday morning first thing and talk to them about your condition. They will do everything they can to help you. Luv - Sheila Thanks Lou, told the endo nurse i was too ill to stopp hc nwwo.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hi Mo, I am sorry that you felt I let you down. I did write to all three advisers and did a bit of research myself to see if I could help and yes, I know that I promised to get back to you immediately I heard from them. I also sent them copies of your correspondence at that time, which was difficult to read through because of the effect the drug was having on you, in an attempt to help them see what a problem you had at that time. Unfortunately, after waiting for some time, I did not hear back from them and took it on myself to telephone them individually. That's when I was told they were unable to help without actually seeing you. I do know that many doctors would also not advise on treatment without knowing the patient and their full history. I did not say you should complain about your GP, but that you should change your GP as you said he was " damaging your health " and told you how you could do this. The only doctors that I have on my list are doctors who will prescribe some form of T3 hormone replacement, but I still feel the best referral right now would be to a psychiatrist who is well trained in the use of antidepressants and would know how to help you get over the terrible withdrawal symptoms you are suffering. Unfortunately, I do not know any such doctor personally, apart from one up here in Yorkshire. If anybody else knows of a good psychiatrist or an excellent doctor in other fields who you know could help Mo, please let her know.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 If you are having a STIM, you must be off HC or any adrenal support aside from dexamethasone)for at LEAST two weeks before testing. Otherwise, the cortisol from the HC will show up and your adrenals will look better than they are, and you could miss a diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi Lynn The endo nurse told me that the only reason they were doing the 'ACTH was to prove that I did no9t have an adrenal roiblenm and should not be on hc, she also said that my thyroid was in range and that oroved \i was not hypoithyroid.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I'm not too sure that you would want to go to an endo whose nurse says they are trying to prove you DON'T have an adrenal issue. How long have you been on HC? If you have been unable to wean off it for some time, you are more likely to have adrenal issues than not. This is just my opinion... Also, it is DANGEROUS to suddenly wean off HC. It could cause an adrenal crisis, which could result in death. I suggest repeating that to this bogus nurse. If you get well enough to do a STIM, accept nothing less than dexamethasone for two weeks. If they won't play, mention the phrases " adrenal crisis " and " death " quite often. Maybe also throw in other phrases like " my family would sue you if I died " , " medical malpractice " etc. etc. I have had to learn to play, as the same idea has been suggested to me.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi Mo, I can assure you that you are not being " distanced " . I run this group for one reason, and one reason only and that is to try and help members whenever I can. Sometimes, however, I don't know enough to be able to do so, nor do I always know of somebody who can. Our three doctors are medical advisers specifically because of their knowledge of thyroid and related conditions. I think had they known of private doctors who they thought might have been able to help you, they would have told me. Often, members think that I also know much more than I do because I run this forum, but lots of the stuff I come out with I have to research first. I am aware that it is the effect of withdrawal of the drug. You sent me two very long messages explaining all of this, which as I mentioned, I passed on to our advisers. You might wish to contact them yourself Mo to see what they could advise as it is always better to chat direct rather than through a third party. You can contact Dr. Peatfield 01883, 623 125, Dr Skinner 01214 498895 and/or Dr Mantzourani - 020 7467 1510 and remind them that I sent the correspondence about you on 2nd November and again on 3rd November after you sent me a response.

" Psychoactive medications will play havoc with the HPA. While they usually help with anxiety /depression for a certain time period, the feedback loop sending incorrect data will eventually cause cortisol levels to increase, and the result will be increased anxiety in the morning and mid-afternoon. Insomnia will usually follow the cortisol level increase. Other psychoactive medications have their own unique side effect profile and ultimate effect upon the HPA. When the HPA is out of balance, you will have a problem with insulin, stress, anxiety, weight gain, thyroid problems, fatigue, unbalanced sexual hormones, and countless other body difficulties. The hormone, ACTH, will eventually become out of balance, as will the other hormones and adrenals. Psychoactive medication will directly alter specific areas within the HPA. Examine any patient using psychoactive medication for more than three months and you will probably find a problem with hormones, thyroid, adrenals, cortisol, and immune system or other areas within the HPA. The pituitary side effects will include one or all six hormones, to include ACTH and the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The hypothalamus can alter blood pressure, control every endocrine gland in the body, body temperature, adrenal levels via ACTH, and metabolism.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Mo If you are in such a state can a family member not come and help you at the moment or a close friend. it sounds like you need more help than just seeing a doctor. What about contacting dr myhill to explain what a state you are in. she may be able to advise you on all this. she has a facebook page i am sure you could try and get through to her there. You need to write a letter to the endo and explain why you cannot get the test done at the moment. Email is better and if you ask for the secretaries address i am sure they will correspond with you this way (i am doing just that with my endo and it is much quicker than writing letters). my final thought comes from my own recent experience. i was plodding on nicely and then i became ill again. i thought it was the hc so upped to 30mg, but this made things worse. i was stumped for a few days and then i just missed some daily doses and i felt well again on that first day. i realised i was ill because i was taking too much HC and this was making me hypo. i am now down to 17.5mg and all is going well. I wonder if you have experienced anything like this ? I know you were on much higher amounts than me. It seems reducing down the hc also effects the levels of thyroid a bit and so these also need to be tinkered with - just like how we have to tinker with the hc and thyroid meds as we increase to an optimal dose. i would definitley speak to someone about the withdrawal process, if you can find a forum for that. It seems that is your priority at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi The priority at the moment is finding dr who will oversee the diazeam withdrawals as the GP is v rigid, ignorant and I am not in good hands tyo say the v least. I was going unconscious on the bathroom floor, well once, but once is once too often. The GP was shouting down the phone at me telling me that the horrors I was going through (coming ff these drugs is MUCH harder tyhan coming off heroin fofr exmaple and I am here all alone with no friends or family to help in any way). Chrios Tayloor has been holding my hanbd throughut this process and I honestly dont know what I would have done without him, The GP has been saying since dr P diagnosed me wityh adrenal and thyroiud issuies that it is all tosh and there is nothing wrong with nmy thyroid and adrenals. The point of sending me to the endo was to prove tyheir point by demonstrating that i had adrenal eserves when the acth was fdone aqnd my tyhyroid laqbns qare in range, hahahhahha, and SO THEREFORE, Dr P's diagnosis is rubbish and there is nothing wrong with my glands.l End of... then their plan was to reduce me off these meds and make me terribly terribly ill as if I could get nmore ill than I am now I doubt it. I do have an advocate helping me and she is a diamond and coming with me to dsee the GP ion Thursday. He is insisting on reducing the diaze0am according to his rigid plan, I think he may be getting hius own backl for me going to Dr M in the first lacer when he would not give me any sleeps meds even though i was in sleep reversalol for years. Dr M did give me a scri-t for benzos, both of us in the full knowledge that I weoiuld become addicted but it was out to me that as i have incurable illness going on as well the the thyroid adrenal stuff, that quality of life wasd what was important over and above worries abvout addictin and that the good dr would continue prescribing so I would never hve to face withdrawals. She asked did I want to spend my remaining years loike a zombie ftrom lack of sleep and my remaining years arelikely to be less than your average Joe. So0 was kind of shocked into deciding that \I should take this route especialy was it was pointed out that I had no hope of mnaking progress with other health issues unless I got " SOME SLEEP. GP was pissed off and now perhaps if his chance for revevge or so it was suggestred to9 me anyway,.\ Yes I did ask the good dr if there was any other dr who could help me and I got told NO, wierd that there is not a single dr in the UK that could ne recommended? Any womder I think I am being distanced, the other three dr ditto. I have talen Chris'sadvice and phoned the Priory this morning to see if one of their drs can oversee the reduction. Problem with that is, apart from having to travel when i cannot get out of bed hardly, is it costs approx 250 for initial appt and then half of that for further half hour appts asnd I am up to ber eyes in debt and dont have two pennies tyo rub together. I am waiting to hear back from them today and will report back. > If you are in such a state can a family member not come and help you at the moment or a close friend. it sounds like you need more help than just seeing a doctor.
