OA Knees
The pain was awful but a
cortisone
shot made me feel vaguely human again, albeit with limited mobility still. That shot is now wearing off and , surprise surprise, my other knee is now playing up and very painful too.

Tears at the supermarket,well nearly.
What on earth is wrong with me. Mid-week shop so not a lot to get but I just can't cope with the supermarket. Hubby was with me and likes to use the self service checkout,which I do not like and usually make him use them on his own. Today that stupid machine kept on "unexpected item in bagging area."

Does anyone with secondary/central hypo suffer with polyuria?
I am undiagnosed at present (normal bloods!) but have been having hypo symptoms. I am being tested for all sorts at the moment, most recently serum cortisol which came back slightly on the low side. As a result I have been asked to do a 24hr urine test and I was getting concerned that the container is

I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue over a year ago, and told to take large doses of vitamins and minerals to cure that. I still have low cortisol output, and would like to know if anyone can recommend a really potent

Symptoms of Hypo?
I have to use
cortisone
on my face sometimes and I thought that was what was causing the deep lines that appear quite suddenly. Is there anything I can do about this?

NHS tests that may help diagnose adrenal issues
A few people asked what tests my endo ordered in order to find the root cause of my adrenal problems. The ones that are different to the normal lifter function, bone, urea etc. are Heterophile antibody - a test for Epsten Barr Virus/glandular fever. IGF-1 - IGF-1 may be used with other pituitary hormone
