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

Increased thyroxine dose at W/E only
I am wondering if anyone here has had their L-Thyroxine increased at the weekend only? When I had my annual thyroid bood test last year a new GP saw it and got concerned, as they always do, about my non detectable TSH. I also take liothyronine and my TSH has been undetectable for years in spite of lowering

Feel Terrible - Any Advice Please?
I'm weaning onto Armour Thyroid, guided by a doctor. I've been raising my dose by only 1/4 grain every 2 weeks, this slowly because I have low cortisol. The first two raises I had a few days of feeling jittery but this calmed with the help of taking ashwagandha and taurine. I reached 60mg last Sunday

ACTH Cortisol test enquiry
Afternoon all I had an ACTH test done at the request of my GP because my early morning blood cortisol test was 133 (ref 113 - 532). I am attaching 2 pages of results. The consultant says I'm fine but I want to run it past folk on here because I'm not so sure. I certainly don't feel fine. I don't understand
