I am wondering can you do a test for intracellular calcium levels yourself? If the intracellular calcium levels are too high, would that show up in calcium blood test?
Male | 34
You cannot test your cell calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your cells can make you feel weak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some medicines may cause high cell calcium levels. If you have high cell calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try other treatments.

I am 28 years old and I am taking steroids tablet..can it have side effects???
Female | 28
Steroids can impact your body negatively. Common side effects include weight gain, acne breakouts, mood fluctuations, and sleeping difficulties. This happens because steroids interfere with natural functions within your system. Weight gain and acne result from hormonal changes caused by steroids. Mood swings and insomnia occur when steroids disrupt chemical balances regulating emotions and sleep cycles. If experiencing these issues, consult your doctor immediately.

Male | 30
Your HbA1c is 5.7 and MBG is 110, indicating high blood sugar, possibly pre-diabetic. Pre-diabetes increases the risk of future diabetes. It's important to monitor your levels. To prevent diabetes, focus on eating healthy, exercising regularly, and maintaining an ideal weight. These steps can help manage blood sugar and lower your risk.

Before I share my worries I have to always note that I am a childhood cancer survivor Osteosarcoma I am now 19 and I was diagnosed at 11, I have been free from cancer since 13 years old I have worries of having cushin disease, I show all the symptoms and researched on YouTube by various videos of different doctors speaking of the subject. I gained a lot of weight in such a rapid speed even though I was very skinny, no matter how heathy I eat eating enough protein, cutting gluten and diary out as well as sugar I feel like i keep gaining weight. I have a fat pad at the back of my neck and the fat seems to go to my back and stomach, have awful bruising on my feet sometimes, horrible exhaustion by just lifting my arms and my bones sound like they crack a lot. Alongside many other symptoms like insulin resistance a doctor noticed due to darkening to my neck, but diabetes was ruled out when I went to a doctor and she said she did see many signs of a hormonal issue just by looking at me, referred me to a endocrinologist. I suspected high cortisol because i have dealt with a history of psychological issues such as diagnosed depression. I am suffering and will see this specialist soon, but my general blood lab tests have been “normal” before, I have read out of fear of not being heard by my doctor that lab tests sometimes do not show abnormal cortisol levels if the cortisol is not or condition of it is not too advanced I want to know all the tests that I need done that are necessary to be diagnosed, and what alternatives can I discuss with my doctors if the labs come out “normal” I am aware i need to advocate for myself sometimes I just dont know how to word it because of fear of seeming ignorant and like i know more than my doctor, I dont think this I just want my pain to be over! I think hearing advice from a professional would be best on how i can best approach advocation for my health.

The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to Cushing's disease. It's important to discuss the necessary tests with your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. These tests include a cortisol urine test, blood cortisol levels, and an MRI to check your pituitary gland. Cortisol levels can fluctuate, so multiple tests at different times may be needed for a definitive diagnosis. Even if initial tests are normal but your doctor suspects Cushing's disease based on your symptoms, further testing and monitoring might be required. Be open and honest with your doctors, ask questions, and express your concerns to ensure you receive the best care.

I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease with TSH level almost zero in August 2023. I was prescribed Methimez 15 mg initially, which was gradually reduced to 2.5mg daily. My TSH level is currently 7.9, FT4=0.82, FT3=2.9. Should I still be taking daily methimez 2.5mg or should I fully stop it/reduce it less than 2.5mg daily since TSH level is currently 7.9. History of medical conditions: I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in August 2023 with TSH level touching zero. Current medication details: I was prescribed Methimez 15mg daily which was gradually reduced and is currently prescribed at 2.5mg on a daily basis. History of medication for the same complaint: None

Graves' Disease affects thyroid function. Your recent TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To regulate hormone levels, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as prescribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolled symptoms. These may include rapid heartbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have any worries or questions, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.
