Suspected Cushings or just hypo
Hey everyone, My endo is sending me for an MRI of pituitary and CT of chest, pelvis, abdomen and adrenals. My salivary cortisol seems to go up a lot after adding t3, my blood cortisol is over range and I'm having issues raising thyroid meds, keeping me in a hypo state. Apparently I could have a tumour

Endocrinologist recommendations in/near West Sussex for Addison's / adrenals
Can anybody recommend an endocrinologist in West Sussex or nearby please who knows about adrenals and Addison's? It comes as no surprise to me, but a private blood screen has just shown very low cortisol levels and a couple of other bits, that suggest an adrenal problem, possibly Addison's. I've not

Low cortisol .. next steps
Hello everyone I recently did the 4 point saliva cortisol test and the result was low cortisol at all 4 points, but particularly in the morning. It helped explain why I find it so hard to get out of bed and struggle with low energy all morning. My DHEA is also low. I then had a Short Synacthen test

Supplements for adrenal support
I’ve been researching supplements for low cortisol / adrenal support and find the whole subject very confusing. Some information suggests that high cortisol is the reason for adrenal fatigue and recommends supplements which are ‘calming’ and lower cortisol. Other sources claim, quite rightly, that

Cortisol help
I have consistently had low blood cortisol on pre 9am tests (around 220) and my two saliva tests showed lower than optimal cortisol, especially in a morning. However, a recent cortisol test showed it as 593 serum (101-536). This was a retest from one the previous month, which was around 300, the

My enocrinologist appt today - first in 6 years
I have been having very clear high cortisol problems. My private saliva tests showed this. But my GP was only interested if it was Cushings. I have been on T3 only since 2016, 20mcg prescribed by my original endo and the rest self funded. When the cortisol problem became severe (very high BP and periods

Adrenal insufficiency or thyroid disease?
Hi All, Recently I was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency, so I’ve been spending a lot of time canvassing lots of different addisons & adrenal insufficiency forums and communities to get a gauge of what people think of my test results… I’ve made a slightly shocking revelation during this time -

Cortisol questions
As I've just done my cortisol tests I've been pondering things. 1) How quickly do cortisol levels change? I know they change throughout the day but do they change week to week? Could my cortisol, for example, come back ok this week but if I do it next week the results would be dreadful? 2) if my results

Still can’t lose weight - on NDT for 3 months
My mother is severely hypo and was untreated while she was pregnant with me. I’ve been hypo literally my whole life, though I was misdiagnosed earlier in life until I figured it out myself 1yr ago after a couple miscarriages and 18 months of creeping weight gain. I take 120mg or 2 grains of Thyroid-S

ACTH Cortisol test enquiry
Afternoon all I had an ACTH test done at the request of my GP because my early morning blood cortisol test was 133 (ref 113 - 532). I am attaching 2 pages of results. The consultant says I'm fine but I want to run it past folk on here because I'm not so sure. I certainly don't feel fine. I don't understand

looking for a neurologist
Can anyone recommend a neurologist knowledgeable in RLS in the Bristol/ Bath (England) area ? I currently have a neurologist whom I rate quite highly but who cannot prescribe opioids as they are not on the formulary of the hospital where she practises. She has however asked my GP to prescribe Oxycodone
