Re: NPTech Cortisol Results through this morning. Now I'm even more worried :(

Hi

I ahve been wondering how you were all over my 4 days in Dublin. I got

back around midnight last night and this morning - the first phone call

I received was from Dr Peatfield as I had sent him a FAX about you

before I sent away. He too has been away and only got back last night

too. I posted all your symptoms and everything else you had written.

He told me that you are in an adrenal crisis from your symptoms (though

of course, he agrees that this is going from the 'paper examination' and

not the 'patient examination' and that you should start taking either 5

mgs Prednisolone - gradually building this up to 7.5mgs - 0r - 20 mgs

Cortisone and building this up gradually to 30 mgs daily. I am so

pleased to hear that you have now had the short synacthen test. Did they

tell you when the results are expected? Keep us informed as to what is

happening, and I do hope your blisters get better soon. Do you know what

has caused this hand/foot/mouth virus - it sounds horrendous, especially

on top of everything you are suffering.

Luv and big (((HUGS))) - Sheila

HI

Let me know what is happening to you. I have been concerned - and have you yet been able to contact Dr Peatfield? Let us know what happens today with your Synacthen test and let us know what did they find - and above everything, good luck?

Luv - Sheila

Hi again. I feel like I am on the brink of collapsing. I have sentcopy and long e-mail to Endo and to GP and here is a copy and paste ofmy salivary cortisol results from NPTech. What do you all think? Arethese results similar to your own? NHS now saying they will see me on2nd July for short synacthen.
