DHEA (& Cortisol)
Do you think I need hydrocortisone from these results or can I get away with just using
Adrenal
Cortex
Extract
? 2. What is the relevance of DHEA? Thank you so much :)

Vitamin D & tolerating thyroid medication
I have discovered I have extremely low
adrenal
function and am now treating that with
adrenal
cortex
extract
. My Vitamin D levels are: 44. Would low Vitamin D make it hard for me to tolerate NDT? Thanks so much in advance x

#1: The Start
He has hinted already at Hydrocortisone treatment, which after some semi-successful use of
adrenal
cortex
extract
makes some sense to me. I'm not requesting advice or feedback at this juncture, just an attempt to keep a record of my experiences.

Blood tests, Evenity, Forteo etc.
What blood tests do you have taken while you are on Evenity, Forteo etc. and how often? Eg. Calcium, Vitamin D, Renal etc. Thanks

Forteo & kidney stones
I recently had kidney stone surgery, where each kidney was full of large kidney stones (too large to pass naturally, which was the reason for the surgery). In January I completed 2 years of Forteo injections, and wonder if the cause of all of those kidney stones were caused by the Forteo injections

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

The risk of doing nothing
, I have a cousin who is 93. She was diagnosed with osteoporosis many years ago started Fosamax and because of some side effects stopped taking the medication. I spoke to her recently about her osteoporosis and she told me that she was 5‘4“ in her prime and she now is 4 foot 11. She is legally blind

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

AFTER FORTEO
Has anyone taken Fosamax after Forteo with good results instead of going on Prolia? Also, has anyone taken Prolia and not have side effects? all we hear are the horror stories, there must be some good stories. Is it because people who are doing well don’t go on the website?

Severe Osteoporosis - Understanding the scan report and treatment
As a WF, age 60 - the last several years have seen some big health scares / diagnoses: FYI: After a torn shoulder rotator cuff injury in Oct 2022 and PT making the pain worse, my orthopedic Dr finally suggested an MRI. Results did not have good news. He then suggested a surgical repair with "bone

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

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

Adrenaline from starting too low/ slow with cortex?
I was wondering if the same applies to
adrenal
cortex
extract
? If anyone has experienced this, did you find taking more at once fixed the issue? Nutrimeds has 100mg cortex in the cortex plus, do you think taking 1/2 (~50mg cortex) on waking would be more beneficial?

cortisol & DHEA results
Hi, I tested my cortisol and DHEA because I am concerned I might have addisons in addition to hashis and I wanted to check my theory before asking my gp to investigate. I got my results back today (attached) My DHEA and cortisol are low so I think it’s reasonable for me to ask if I can be tested.
