numb painful thigh
This is a new thing for me… I’ve had fibromyalgia for years but started with a pain the outside of my right thigh - originally smaller than my palm (it’s now much larger) I’ve had a cortisone injection which did nothing. I’ve tried naproxen. Today the pain is starting in the other leg. It’s affecting

Cortisone Injections
Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. I have bursitis in my hip, and my GP has recommended a corrisone injection as part of my treatment plan. He has advised that I should speak to my hematologist before having the injection as it could cause bleeding and bruising. I asked my hematologist about it

Recommendation re supplements
Hi allI'm fairly new to the forum and I'm finding all your info and wealth of experience extremely helpful. Have learnt that addressing possible nutritional deficiencies is important before Thyroid hormone therapy can be optimally effective. I have Hashimotos and recently posted full thyroid panel results

Low Cortisol levels
Hello, I’ve been steadily tapering back to 5 mg after a flare, currently on 7 mg of Pred, and I have been feeling pretty rough most days, the usual fatigue, stiffness, etc. I had my annual physical, my doctor ordered blood test, I was surprised to see my CRP levels were all normal, as were all the

Adrenal system. Adrenal fatigue
Helpful video. Often people with Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune diseases have problems with cortisol. Dr. Peter Attiya explained simply and clearly. His podcast and new book could be life-saving for some of us. The adrenal system: how it works, cortisol, cortisone, common problems, and more |Dr.

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Possible Prednisone Allergy?
Hi all, I'm a GCA patient, diagnosed in AUG 2022. I started on 60 MG pred and have weaned down to 10 MG at present. About 2 months ago I started getting an unusual rash on my hands and wrists -- back then it was only reddish. But it kept getting worse and worse, and now it's an actual bumpy rash

low cortisol
I saw the Rheumy doctor over a month ago and her flippant diagnosis mirrored so many others’. About the same time a random telephone health check from my health centre showed my BP was 175/75 and I was quickly prescribed amlodopine . The rheumatologist was adamant my symptoms did not reflect PMR

private consult
I went to see the private endocrinologist consultant. He was very much guided by the GP letter. Low cortisol saliva test - I’m going back on Monday morning for private blood tests x3 to rule out a rare pituitary condition. He feels certain i do not have it. Multi nodular goitre - it is visibly larger

Synacthen Test Result
Hi allJust recently got result from endo. Obviously it rules out Addisons which is good and I responded to the inj. The second blood draw was actually done 40 mins post administration but I'm assuming that wouldn't have affected the overall result too much. However I know my baseline blood cortisol is

Overheating 🥵
Hi, Could really do with some advice at the moment. I’m taking 100mcg Levo and 6mcgs Lio. I’ve been ok. Not 100% but then I’m considerably better than 2 yrs ago when I started treatment. I dropped my Levo down to 100 ( from 125) 3 weeks ago so I cant give you latest bloods yet as I’m waiting a little

Blood test results in full. Can anyone find a cause in there for my continued fatigue etc?
I still have the same symptoms, although some have improved a bit, but not gone, by any means. Still housebound. I list below Blood test results. Can anyone suggest an issue that may cause my symptoms because my GP says no action, normal. Serum 25 - HO Vit D3 level 135nmol/L 50-174

spinal injection
Hi all, Since my HA nearly 2 years ago I’ve had appendicitis twice and had it out the second time. Now I’ve got a trapped nerve in my spine and need a cortisone injection which consultant wants to do under a general anaesthetic. He wants me to stop my aspirin for 5 days before which I didn’t do before

Hydrocortisone and LDN?
Hi all, wondering if anyone has tried hydrocortisone and LDN at the same time? I've just started low-dose HC for very low cortisol (ahead of adding T3 to T4 shortly, trying to make it easier on adrenal system). I keep going back and forth about LDN and whether it's worth trying or if it's too much at
