Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 No, nothing Les. I've done the steroid gain before too, so know what that s about. Only change has been a slight increase in my thyroid meds..and that should only help..not hinder. Now...about that steroid gain....I've been accused of having a lack of pituitary hormone...and also some adrenal malfunctions...years ago. I don't know..does anyone know if your own adrenals can produce a steroid-like effect on one's body? It's a real long-shot, and I'm shooting in the dark as it is. I do appreciate everyone s concern and helpful thoughts. Thanks to everyone for that. Regards~ Jacque " My cat knows the song in my heart and purrs it to me when my memory fails me. " Yeah, I'm with Ceep...I just can't buy the bounceback thing...not with you, not so much, so fast. It's almost like a steroid gain. I'm sure you've thought this through, but no change in meds, or even a new combo of meds that might, on the surface, seem innocent? in NJ ********************** > Dear jacque, please see you pcp and run more tests. Also, please see Dr. Oh or Shrikanth. This just does not sound right. I remember you sent me the pix of yourself at wedding and of course I saw you with my own eyes at 126 or so last fall. That part about sudden gain doesnt grok with my rational mind, as it doesnt yours either. About your getting tired on the treadmill worries me.... how much thyroid are you taking now, dosage wise? > Hang in there, and please please see the docs. Ask about pituitary also... > This comes with love and concern > ceep > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 There certainly is a steroid effect on one's body if one has Cushing's Syndrome. Has this been explored? --- 365/194/160 Lap RnY, Distal - Dr. s Vanderbilt University Hospital Surgery date June 3, 2002 LBL, TT & Brachioplasty Feb. 4, 2004 ----- Original Message ----- > does anyone know if your own > adrenals can produce a steroid-like effect on one's body?
