Does physiotherapy help?
So I've had a pretty "hard" manual lifestyle and have arthritis in both shoulders, already had cortisone injections in both shoulders, so that tells me I have worn out my joints, also to throw into the mix I've now got chronic back ache,and my left hip is "twinging " I can't sleep with my back properly

How can I tell when adrenals are coming back?
This line from DL's editing of a crucial post in the FAQ is cheering: . "In almost every patient the adrenal gland starts functioning again when cortisone is tapered, it just needs time." Got it. But are there symptoms that suggest the glands are waking up? After 15 months I am at 5.5mg of prednisone

please help..confused
I have posted previously that I was down with viral infection 25 days ago. Fever, cough and then I started feeling pressure on my left lung at a specific place as if something was blocked and crazy shortness of breath. I am an anxiety and panic patient so everything exacerbated for me. I was diagnosed

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

Advice on back pain & pred dosing...
Morning, i joined this group a few months ago and find it so useful even though I don't have pmr. I do have tertiary adrenal insufficiency, ulcerative colitis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and possibly pots. In the last 2 years after having covid twice I developed cushing symptom due to over replacement

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)

itchy, itchy skin?
hi everyone, I know skin can get dry and itchy in winter - but my husband seems exceptionally itchy (mainly arms and legs, a bit on his back too) to the point that he is starting to have tiny scabs. Yes, not pleasant to write (or read) about! The itchy areas have small but visible bumps. He’s not one

advice on synacthen test
for anyone who has been following my story they will know I’ve been having medication issues and I am now taking T3 only. Still having issues with weight gain. Spoke to my endocrinologist last week and she has agreed the increase to 40mcg. This was after she had suggested trying a small dose of levothyroxine

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

Low cortisol: will it improve when I'm on HRT?
I think I just keep asking the same question but in various different ways. 😂 I work term time only and every half term I'm full of optimism about what me and the kids can do and how much I'll get done in the house and inevitably I spend all week on the sofa. It's the same every time. I recognise

How I know if I’m a good converter. I have low cortisol all day long and below is my lab test. Please advise. Taking T4 70 mcg/T3 18 mcg. I struggle to add T3 even in small doses.

The Plot Thickens…
I posted a few days ago about shoulder pain. It has got worse and is in both shoulders and is affecting my neck. It is far worse in the morning. My Osteopath gave me a private doctor’s contact details so I could see them for a cortisone injection. I had the appointment this morning and it turned out

Blue Horizon Thyroid Genetic Test results
Afternoon, My Blue Horizon Thyroid Genetic Panel results have arrived after a long wait and I’d appreciate some help understanding them. I undertook the test to check my DIO1 and DIO2 status, both of which appear ‘normal’ (no inherited defects). However, three variants are flagged up in either red
