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

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

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.

Latest Endo visit.... bit weird 😕 When all seems lost just say NO 😉
Started with being told I would have to drop my dose as not happy with TSH 0.05 talked all about this (T4 48% T3 95%) risk of heart and bone damage blah blah..... I pointed out that we had tried that before and it didn't go well for me... threatened to cut me loose if I didn't reduce! Continued to bang

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 - -

Chemo may be helping
Hi Fellow Fighters, Prior to my third round of Taxotere last Friday, I had blood work done. After 2 rounds, my PSA dropped 4.7 points. TBH, I feel like crap today, but the results are promising. My blood work also showed low cortisol levels, how concerned should I be about that? Thanks.

Vestibular papillomatosis
It's been 9 months of this and I've gone through so many tubes of
cortisone
and lidocaine. I'm finally taking action and finding a specialist.

cortisol and oestrogen is there a link?
i’m a complicated case, but curious about hrt and cortisol. Don’t want to bore anyone with full history, in a nutshell. Hashimoto 2018, Graves 2021. Off all meds currently, but six months ago started body identical hrt. My cortisol is now 160 at 9am. Does oestrogen cause low cortisol, or should i get

Has anyone retested their cortisol levels whilst using adrenal glandular supplements and seen any improvement?
I've been taking adrenal glandular for 4 months, recent serum cortisol shows no improvement than before, is it too soon? Wondering if I should do another saliva cortisol? I feel better for taking it so loathed to stop.... maybe I should give it longer?

Thyroid and cortisol results
Hi all, just got results back from latest NHS bloods. Any thoughts? This was primarily to try and 'verify' my private blood test results showing above-range TSH (6.1) and high antibodies. Test was done just before 9am, fasting, currently not on any meds, no biotin week before. I also asked for serum

Dr Conway + Dr Adamson and low cortisol
Hi, I am yet to start treatment for Hashimoto's, and with abysmally low cortisol, am now unsure how to go ahead because it seems as though it makes things more difficult. Has anyone with cortisol issues seen either Dr Georgina Conway (the Thyroid Clinic) or Dr Karen Adamson (endocrinologist in Edinburgh

chronic insomnia for 19 years
Hi I’m new to the sleep forum. Since a stressful event 19 years ago, I wake at 2am every morning from a deep sleep, and it takes a minimum of 3 hours to get back off. I am initially asleep within minutes as am always shattered in an evening. I know all about sleep hygiene and have tried a protein snack

Regenerus cortisol results - help interpreting
Hi, got my Regenerus cortisol and DHEA results back (only took a week so very quick). I'd expected low cortisol, but it's a bit more than I thought. DHEA just in range. Surprised that night cortisol was in range, but then it probably used to be very high. I had a period of about 7 years of extreme stress

Female hormones results
Hello all, I've just got my female hormone results back. As expected, they're less than stellar! Edit to add: these were taken on Day 4 and I usually only have a 3 day bleed with a day or 2 of spotting. So I'm looking at low cortisol, high DHEA, unstable thyroid results, and now perimenopause? Does
