best supplements for adrenal fatigue?
I hope it's ok to ask questions about adrenal fatigue and supplements here as well... 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

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

Bruising and cortisone
I have had PMR for about four years and am on 4mg of prednisolone. I am doing well apart from niggles with my Achillies tendons and one knee. I go walking twice a week and have come up with a new symptom, severe bruising on the inside of one of my ankles after walking. My Achillies tendons are OK and

For those who don't want to see my lumpy foot - look away now
I've been doing a little Googleing, I think what I have is Bursitis, it doesn't really show up here in the photo, but It doesn't actually sound too serious - ice, anti inflammatories,
cortisone
injections etc...I hope I'll be back in the saddle so to speak soon.... Next up Dan's groin...

How much does blood sugar levels affect cortisol?
I'm wondering if my diet is affecting the way I feel. I've not been eating great lately and not really having regular meals. Yesterday for instance I just snacked on sugary things. I felt irritable and snappy all day. Things bothered me! Then when hubby came home he drove me mad and we had a row. I just

Interpreting results - adrenals
Hi everyone, I've had such great advice here in the past, and have just got a set of results that I have no idea how to interpret. So really hope anyone here can shed some light or suggest starting points for me to read up. I've had thyroid cancer and a total thyroidectomy (the long story in my profile

Tricky stuff this Armour
Since starting armour last November it's been far from smooth sailing. I am currently on 1.5 grains split into two doses. I take the first dose according to CT3M as although my morning cortisol level is fine I have low cortisol in the day and also low DHEA/cortisol ratio (according to my 24 hr saliva

Short synacthen test
Hi all I know blood cortisol isn't accurate however I'm a bit concerned about the results from my latest test. Normally in the morning my blood cot idol has been measured between 200-400mmol. My baseline blood cortisol when I had the test was 635mml (120-800) and it shot up to 872mmol half an hour after
