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

cortisol 24 hour urine result
can anyone read this result? I am unsure what it means. I know the urine and blood tests are pretty rubbish so I have ordered a saliva. But for now this is what I have from the nhs endocrinologist. I have a new private app in a few weeks to see a new endo who can hopefully help me with the low cortisol

Endo Legs Nerve Pain
MRIs, Ultrasound,
cortisone
injections nothing showed any problem or made a difference in the case of the injections or treatment. Therefore I now think is likely to be the Endo, however, I have the pain, tingling and numbness all the time, at different levels, worsening during periods.

Use of Corticoide to treat tight foreskin
I went to my doctor today and he prescribed a
cortisone
cream to loosen the skin before we go for circumcision . What are your thoughts about the corticoide cream? Has anyone tried and had good effect with it on loosening the foreskin?

does inflammation return after cortisone?
I had a
cortisone
injection into my shoulder joint last week and I’m concerned that the inflammation that’s been reduced to make me feel a little better will return after the injection wears off. Is this a thing?

Very Scary SVT.
I recently posted on this forum asking if asthma medications (Advair along with a
cortisone
allergy shot) could trigger a-fib, as I had a recent episode of that, and some of you confirmed it. It's notable that I had taken a puff of Advair just 15 minutes before the SVT attack last night.

Liothyronine Trial
I saw an NHS Endocrinologist last week who has agreed to my request for a 3 month trial of Liothyronine, something I have wanted for many years. The suggestion is to drop from 75mcg levothyroxine daily to 25mcg and to take 5mcg of T3 in the morning and again at lunchtime. After nearly 20 years on Levo

Prednisolone taper
Hi everyone Been tapering from 5mg Pred for adrenal insufficiency and managed to get down to 3mg last week. Then down to 2.5mg and begun to feel unwell so went back to 3mg. The last few days I've been feeling a bit nauseous and my stomach has been sore. So I upped my steroid to 10mg (sick day rules)

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

Persistence
After weekly visits to my GP’s for months with one symptom after another and lots of test and scan’s completed, without any firm diagnosis, success! 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

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

Epidural Injections for Back Pain for MPN Patient
L5 was pretty much gone (maybe arthritis or osteoporosis) so I was given a
cortisone
shot in my hip and knee cap. Also given a anti-inflamatory pac, muscle relaxer, and Tylenol 3 for pain. I have been using a walker for the last month as I couldn't straighten up my back.

Supplements for adrenal support
I’ve been researching supplements for low cortisol / adrenal support and find the whole subject very confusing. Some information suggests that high cortisol is the reason for adrenal fatigue and recommends supplements which are ‘calming’ and lower cortisol. Other sources claim, quite rightly, that

Dealing with stressful situations and events while in prednisolon
Could it really be that it is due to the production of
cortisone
is too low to handle the stress? I cannot walk away from it but just needed to vent here - -

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

Low cortisol: will it improve when I'm on HRT?
I think I just keep asking the same question but in various different ways. 😂 I work term time only and every half term I'm full of optimism about what me and the kids can do and how much I'll get done in the house and inevitably I spend all week on the sofa. It's the same every time. I recognise
