Hi Andrew, Sorry to hear you are feeling so miserable but don't despair, I am sure it is only temporary! You mention being on pred and hydro - have you been on this combination for a while or have your meds been changed? Steroids can cause depression, pred in particular, although it does suit some. Having a chronic condition requiring daily medication isn't easy to cope with either and if your hormones aren't as finely tuned as they could be, this could make you feel rough. I assume you are under the care of an endocrinologist? Which hospital and consultant are you under? Some do have counselling services which may help but I think it is important to check first that your control is optimal. Have you had blood tests recently to ascertain whether your levels are as good as they should be? Feel free to e-mail me direct : Sue@cah.org.uk
