Most times 1.5 tab of Hydrocortisone is not enough. Summer time is increased to 4 TAB a day or during high stress. My question is how many patients have a DEFIB or what is the standard?
Good description sir but I d like to point out one minor mistake if u don't mind...U said androgen deficiency produces loss of libido in both sexes but actually it affects only females because males have other sources of androgens like testes so they are not affected... Thanks
I had a blood test that shows I have anti adrenal anti bodies with a titer of 1.10. I was tested since I have a lot of the symptoms minus the skin stuff. My cortisol was actually high at 23.1... could I still be feeling symptomatic of Addisons? It’s very confusing
Great video. Thanks for the upload. I've had Addison's for over 20 years. I believe the dosages for medication is different for every patient. My dosage is not as shown in this video. And I do very well. It is also important. To take more fludrocortisone before any medical procedure even dental work
your video is really helpful! one thing i noticed, though - for the ACTH stimulation test, you should give 250 micrograms (0.25mg) of ACTH, not 250mg, that's so much! also, i believe cortisol is usually measured in micrograms/deciliter.
I was diagnosed with Addison's about 7 years ago and wasnt suffering one of those symptoms. I was told by the Dr is was a stress management condition and I was having a few panic attacks at the time so just believed it. I have been taking hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone for the past 7 years every day. I think im going to get a second opinion.
@@d.indira7548 when I am ill and by body of fighting an infection then I am required to double my daily dose of hydrocortisone. This drives my blood sugar levels up so it is very difficult to manage my type 1 diabetes when I am doubling my steroid dosage.
Indeed, I actually have this disease and I need to take hydrocortisol as a medine 3 times a day. Since I have started taking the hormones, starting 3 weeks ago, I have felt healthier than ever. Of course, I cannot say yet how it will develop.
Hi, Thank you for the great video! Just wondering how does cortisol deficiency (less gluconeogenesis, ^ insulin activity) lead to weight loss. Thank you
First maybe bc of loss of fluid Second bc cortisol causes high glucose level in blood >high insulin > target adipocyte to accumulate more fat molecules with time this will cause glucose intolerance >insulin resistance No Gluconeogenesis means no glucose in blood no insulin
My mom was been treated pituitary adenoma by surgery and then radiotherapy. Several years later her pituitary gland seems to shrink in function , not able to secrete ACTH , and cortisol level is too low . She got the symptoms of heaviness in chest, sometimes stomach and is not feeling fresh and energetic . She was initially taking prednisone with dose of 5 mg in the morning and 2.5 mg in the evening . Since the symptoms does not subside, or increase more , doctor prescribed 20 mg in morning and 10 in morning for a week . And now she is having moon face and. Still not fresh and energetic. Please help those who knows
Atindrila Dey There is no known cure unfortunately and a patient can lead a relatively normal life but this is achieved with various medications it stops adrenal crisis from happening which can be fatal I hope this helps you with your question
very clear presentation. thank you.. am on hidrocortisone replacement. since i got this illness so late in life, am hoping it will be temporary.. this disease is awful and is affecting many of my systems and has caused weight gain. still not sure if cause was over use of steroid injection or severe head trauma, perhaps affecting pituitary.
Can you get Adrenal fatigue from head trauma? And have weight gain? Because this has been my experience but no diagnosis. In fact, the endocrinologist told me there’s no way I could have adrenal fatigue or failure because I was overweight. I think I was overweight because I couldn’t move for years and ate to feel better. (Which didn’t work ) Now I take adaptagenic herbs,Cordyseps mushrooms, vitamins and freeze dried cow Adrenals (found at the health food store) and I can at least function on some level. But without these I can’t function at all. The Video was very helpful though. Thanks
@@shaek6820 No such thing as Adrenal "Fatigue". Ask your Endocrinologist to perform a morning ACTH Stimulation test. Have an Addison's antibody test done. Get imaging done of your Pituitary & Adrenal Glands. Yes, u can develop Adrenal Insufficiency if your Pituitary or Adrenals were damaged by trauma/hemorrhage/infection. These tests will confirm whether u have Adrenal Insufficiency (AI) or not and need lifelong steroids. It will also differentiate whether u have Primary or Secondary AI.

@Margo Lockweeze Feelings about our health are subject to manipulation. Doctors are not scientists, and science has become politicized. Doctors probably use an arbitrary standard to make you a regular customer once you are a believer. It's not their fault... Good Will Hunting

Adrenal gland is not the primary source of sex hormones.Testes and ovaries are the main source.So even if adrenal gland is insufficient the ovaries and testes compensate the losses of sex hormones.
Don't get too attached to labels, and don't be manipulated by so-called "authority figures". Do your own research, and heal yourself. You don't want to be a regular patient in the medical mill.

why did you say anorexia as a symptom. anorexia is a MENTAL disorder in which the patient doesn't want to eat to control food, to feel better about their bodies and keep control. I don't see how anorexia is related at all. you mean low appetite?
Medically anorexia just means loss of appetite. 'Anorexia nervosa' is the mental health condition where people dont eat due to perceived body image issues, but we have come to refer to that as just anorexia in daily life.

U r absolutely right Kelly. It was 250 micrograms. MY mistake
Lol huge correction. Difference between life or death in a patient due to malpractice
if it's autoimmune, take immunosuppressants and/or immunomodulators.
Opoids can also cause adrenal fatigue. Wish my doctors explained this!!
sry ...i think the dose of exogenously acth should be 250 micro gram....not milligram.....thanku...if m wrong plz inform me...
tqq u
Good explanation though I would Suggest correcting the spelling errors. E.g. Failure not faliure.

Sucks !! It’s taking a long time to get better .
The loss of adrenaline is very important. How could you miss that?
what is the treatment for addisons w/defective adrenals vs adrenals that have been removed
Adrenal hormones given artificially
Indeed, I actually have this disease and I need to take hydrocortisol as a medine 3 times a day. Since I have started taking the hormones, starting 3 weeks ago, I have felt healthier than ever. Of course, I cannot say yet how it will develop.
