Some advice please
Hi, I'm in surgical menopause and have not felt 'well' for a number of years now. I won't bore you with the backstory of my trials and tribulations with HRT, all in the pursuit of feeling well enough to fully function. I've questioned Thyroid for some time, I had tests last September and posted them

Chemo may be helping
Hi Fellow Fighters, Prior to my third round of Taxotere last Friday, I had blood work done. After 2 rounds, my PSA dropped 4.7 points. TBH, I feel like crap today, but the results are promising. My blood work also showed low cortisol levels, how concerned should I be about that? Thanks.

Hi everyone, Further to my previous posts, I saw private Endo last week who won’t prescribe T3 until Short Synacthen test is done for borderline low cortisol of 248 and reverse t3 blood test done to confirm poor t3 conversion (???). I have been told today by his secretary (after arranging the tests

T3 and cortisol issues?
hello, I could really use some help piecing my mess together. I’ll try to be brief but that may be difficult because there’s a lot to unpack. 2009 thyroidectomy for large goiter and hashimotos Lived comfortably on 150/175 mcgs of Levo until perimenopause. Around that time i developed severe anxiety

Suppressed TSH and getting optimum on NDT
I'm being treated by a private thyroid Dr for hypothyroid, I'm on NDT Armour and I've been slowly titrating for 12 months from zero treatment. I couldn't get treatment on the NHS. My latest results show TSH at 0.01. My T4 and T3 are the highest they've ever been and I feel much better than I did last

Adrenal/Cortisol issues- help please
So it's recently been bought to my attention that my struggles to tolerate any t4 t3 medication could be down to low cortisol or adrenal issues, is this common? I'm starting to question if adrenal issues are actually my main problem? I was diagnosed 'subclinical hypo' last year and have been on varying

Confusing first results on T4/T3
Hi all, I'm reposting this as I didn't get any replies 😊 Please see my first results 6 weeks after introducing T3. I'm on 125mcg of levo and 10mcg of lio. I am very confused because I was certain that my current symptoms were due to being undermedicated! And how can my T4 be top of range again despite

Morning blood cortisol test, is it worth it?
Hello everyone, I'm planning on doing an Ultimate Performance blood test with Medichecks to look at a whole range of things. Particularly I'm interested in the thyroid values as it will be a 6 week follow up to my pervious one and I want to see if anything has changed. I'm undiagnosed and unmedicated

Advice on raising NDT
Following on from my post on 26/02/24, my symptoms got worse (increased number of anxiety attacks and unable to cope with pain in head/neck and upper back) and the GP didn't have any ideas, so I saw a thyroid specialist recommended by thyroid UK in April. The doctor had my blood tests done and these

Low 9am cortisol?
Hi all I wondered if anyone may have some advice regarding 9am cortisol please. My 9am blood cortisol has been tested a few times now and the last three tests have been 142nmol/L | 172nmol/L | 192nmol/L (I suspect the most recent one is higher due to having an extremely stressful time before it)

Has anyone retested their cortisol levels whilst using adrenal glandular supplements and seen any improvement?
I've been taking adrenal glandular for 4 months, recent serum cortisol shows no improvement than before, is it too soon? Wondering if I should do another saliva cortisol? I feel better for taking it so loathed to stop.... maybe I should give it longer?

What's going on?
Hi, just a recap...was diagnosed with PMR early this year by GP, (am 48 yrs) started on 30 mg prednisone then tapered down, increased pain so back to 30 mg again. Also had numerous bloods, ultrasounds, x rays, ct scan which showed bursitis in both hips and shoulders. GP referred to rheumatologist. He

Help interpreting results: Told TSH levels normal when they're higher than the normal range
Hi! A bit of background: I'm mid 30s & was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism 2 years ago and my GP referred me to the consultant as I also developed a large goitre & have family history (my late Mum had hypothyroidism). Consultant told me I had Hashimotos & my TSH, T3, T4 & antibody levels were

Dr Conway + Dr Adamson and low cortisol
Hi, I am yet to start treatment for Hashimoto's, and with abysmally low cortisol, am now unsure how to go ahead because it seems as though it makes things more difficult.
