DUTCH Practitioner
I am thinking of having a DUTCH test due to low cortisol and chronic insomnia. I contacted DUTCH but they’re unable to give me a UK practitioner’s details due to date protection?! Can anyone recommend a UK practitioner please? I assume this can be done with an online consultation, but if not I’d be

Anyone for macrocytosis?
I asked for a copy of a recent cardiology report where AF was diagnosed. The report mentions hypertension, PMR, OA, B12 deficiency (oral tablets) and mild macrocytosis. I assume the latter was identified at the last routine bloods, nearly a year ago, but is not a cause for concern. It’s a new one

Adrenal cortex and DHEA supplementing
My recent saliva test showed low DHEA (91 - range 106-300) and low cortisol levels (Diurnal cortisol pattern is consistent with evolving (Phase 2) HPA axis (adrenal gland) dysfunction.) I passed an SST, but my endo didn’t seem interested in helping me further (too focused on supressed TSH) so I’d like

Serum cortisol test results
Hello all, Further to my saliva cortisol test (link to post below), I requested a serum
cortisol
test
at my GPs (8.45am, yesterday): Serum
cortisol
level
381 nmol/L >350 nmol/L makes adrenal insufficiency unlikely Is this in keeping with my less-than-optimal-and-occasionally-below-range saliva results

Basal Cortisol Test Result
I have recently had a basal
cortisol
test
and my serum
cortisol
level
is 296 nmol/L. I have an appointment with my GP on Wednesday to discuss. My test results says that this is normal but on reading information on the Internet I’m not too sure that this is entirely correct.

Adrenal glandulars
Hi all I'm just looking for an adrenal glandular supplement to address phase 3 adrenal dysfunction as per recent Regenerus lab result. I've since had a syncathen test but no diagnosis. I find alot of confusing information when I google these supplements as alot of them mention as "balancing adrenals"

Adrenal tumour - anyone here with experience with it?
Hey everyone, My aldosterone levels are very elevated at 409 (range up to 190). I'm waiting for the adrenal MRI. My endo said he's suspecting adrenal adenoma since my ACTH was low, blood cortisol high, unable to raise thyroid meds or raising and having symptoms. Anyone here diagnosed with it or know

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

Prednisolone taper
Hi everyone Been tapering from 5mg Pred for adrenal insufficiency and managed to get down to 3mg last week. Then down to 2.5mg and begun to feel unwell so went back to 3mg. The last few days I've been feeling a bit nauseous and my stomach has been sore. So I upped my steroid to 10mg (sick day rules)
