Cortisol fluctuations on raising thyroid meds
Hello! I have a quick question on changes when you raise thyroid meds. I know that when you increase levo or t3, cortisol goes up and many recover from low cortisol symptoms. My situation is, I change my dose, I sleep okay the first few weeks, then week 3 or 4 I can't fall asleep, my heart is pounding

In agony with reflux I think
I'm now dealing with a frozen shoulder for the last 8 months I had a guided
cortisone
injection in the shoulder but I'm left with terrible aches in ribs . I can barely eat drink due to a burning in my throat in my back and I suddenly just feel so unwell like to a point I'm white as a ghost.

First Post - Doing the Doxydoe
On Wednesday 29th Jan I had my 1st Docetaxel infusion which I reacted to, but with the help of some type of
cortisone
shot, they managed to proceed. Now the Steriods have worn off, I'm feeling pretty tired.

What do you think?
When my right wrist hurt I asked for a
Cortisone
injection which worked great. She said adrenal crisis is very dangerous and it's possible my adrenals will never work again. I just don't know what to think. I don't want to take pred for the rest of my life and I don't think increasing has helped.

Subacromial impingment (shoulder pain)
(Oh, incidentally I have also had three
cortisone
injections in the shoulder which provided only short-term relief and I am reluctant to have any more.)

biopsy
Had 4
cortisone
spine injections before the 30 and 6.4 and wonder if really was higher. Esr went back to 10 and cpr .9 after two days pred last week. Pred is killing me but I worry about stopping. It’s a dilemma. What to do ? Haven’t talked to rheum about results yet.

Raising TSH and low Cortisol
Hi everyone. I hope you are all keeping safe with the current situation. I am under the endo now but slow going. Yesterdays bloods TSH 7.3 ref (0.35- 4.7) and T4 9.5 ref (7.8-21.0). They also took cortisol 251 (200-700) and prolactin 220 (70.0-550.0) as they wanted to rule out Addisons. These bloods

WRIST FUSION
Doctor did a
Cortisone
shot to see about settling it down however it didn't work, Now seeing the new MRI it shows the bone moving down is on fire and the bottom area is cracked off. A total fusion is necessary from my Doctor, He suggested a second opinion so I am doing that.

Morning, it is snowing 😲😲
Morning all, apologies, not been well for the past 48 hours, not covid 19 you will be pleased to know, just horrendous tiredness, headaches, temperature drops which necessitate getting in bed and sleeping (35.3 degrees) and funnily enough a nose bleed each morning. I suffer from an under active thyroid
