Cortisone shot
I have been advised to have a cortisone shot for my shoulder pain. Recently my rls has been so much better due to cutting sugar and alcohol from my diet. I'm still on a very low dose of mirapexin 0.09mgs which I take at 9pm. Every ten days I come off the Mirapexin and take 3 days of tramadol. This routine

Naproxen
Naproxen felt like it was burning a hole in my stomach due to not being given the gastro liners. I stopped taking the naproxen for about 4 months, I'm now back on them with the liners, not had a problem since.I've also discovered the joys of magnesium oil on my most painful joints. I'm on a very long

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

Persistence
They completed a blood test (advised by my dentist)and the
test
showed I have a low
cortisol
level
. I am being referred to an Endocrinologist to get a diagnosis. I knew something was wrong and persisted visiting medical personnel until I got an answer.

Advise for next appointment please. New to Forum, Really Struggling with GP.
Hello everyone, Looking for advice I can have with my GP or Endo the next time I have an appointment, as I am getting nowhere and very slowly. Briefly - I started with symptoms in 2020-2021 and visit the Dr suggesting it was my thyroid. Initially (over the phone) they said probably menopause or stress

Feel Terrible - Any Advice Please?
I'm weaning onto Armour Thyroid, guided by a doctor. I've been raising my dose by only 1/4 grain every 2 weeks, this slowly because I have low cortisol. The first two raises I had a few days of feeling jittery but this calmed with the help of taking ashwagandha and taurine. I reached 60mg last Sunday

Need your advice, pls, what should I take and how?
Hey all, I've been on a bit of a journey, unwell for the past few years, diagnosed 2012, did awesome on thyroid meds until...I didn't. Since I have now all cofactors optimal (vit D, B12, folate, iron, ferritin - after iron IV, magnesium), I feel my problem either stems from cortisol issues or balance

A few Things ā¦.
I had an ACTH
test
yesterday as my recent
cortisol
level
was low. I was told my TSH would be tested but not T4 and T3. However when I got there, it was a full thyroid profile being done. I had breakfast in the morning but no caffeine.
