Osteoarthritis treatment
I have osteoarthritis in both my knees and the doc is giving me
cortisone
injections in them both tomorrow. I have diabetes and glaucoma so have read my blood sugar levels will rise after and it can also affect pressure in my eyes? Also, will some kind of numbing gel be applied first?

Hypothyroidism and fluctuating low cortisol. What to look for privately?
Can anyone direct me where to seek help for the low cortisol fluctuations I am experiencing? It seems I’m on my own trying to sort out low cortisol that isn’t severe enough on blood test to be worth the NHS exploring further. Due to increasing fatigue when my “usual” thyroid & cofactors lab results

Warfarin and INR and cortisone injection
One I am blaming vagal nerve and the other
cortisone
- but in fairness I don't think it was
cortisone
as such rather the lack of pain enabling me to sleep more or less peacefully for the first time in a year or so.

More test results… this time cortisol… help please
Hi everyone. I’ve got some results from a cortisol saliva test I did recently. What do you think? Does this mean I am getting adrenal fatigue? I had an SST 4 years ago and was told I was fine but had low cortisol in a previous blood test Also DHEA supplementation??? A bit confused Thanks Eimear

Test Result Assistance Please
I have hashimotos and I have secured an NHS Endo appointment next week. I keep telling the GP surgery I self administer T3 but they don't know much about it to be honest. They referred me to Endo saying I am hyper but historically I am hypothyroid and hence T3 which I have been on for nearly four years

Cellular T3 & cortisol
I must add the following edit since I have researched this question after links were kindly provided - this is what I now understand:
Low cortisol causes T3 to work less effectively within the cells. This is because T3 and cortisol are partners within our cells. High cortisol also causes problems

A treadmill walk + a treadmill slow jog
I have a very bad reaction to too long use of
cortisone
salve and need to avoid people in order not to give them nightmares. But luckily I have my trusted treadmill. First the first audiobook of Lord of the Rings by Andy Serkis in my ears for a 3K walk.

Has anybody noticed activation of HPA axis with liothyronine use ?
While adding T3 to a substitution mix after TT, soon after (6 years ago) had an extensive test battery that brought back an increased ACTH, with higher but still normally ranged blood cortisol. Also, the substitution mixed kept my TSH supressed, but FT3 within limits, though in the upper side of the

Covid, severe arythymia, hypoglycaemia, Low cortisone ???
Hi all - I contracted Covid on the 27th Feb. I have been pretty poorly - landing up in A&E needing to have my heart reset. Heart rate was 236 and blood pressure extremely low. They don’t know what caused it but could have been a Mast Cell Activation reaction to Amoxycillin. I upped my Pred dose from

Unfortunately I am currently 'ill' with an acneiform eruption on my face due to the too long use of a
cortisone
salve. Because of this I am trying to avoid people as much as possible, having received the ok at work to work from home this whole week.

Please help me form a plan of action based on my blood results!
Just got my bloods back and would appreciate any advice what all these could mean and/or how I can myself get well(er) as I am not at all convinced this knowledge will ever come from my clueless but kind GP and NHS Endo. By way of background, thyroid disease runs in my family, and I have had years

Targeted cortisone injection
I twice had a targeted
cortisone
injection for inflammation in the shoulder. It helped the shoulder pain and by the way my severe headaches disappeared for a while. Did anyone else have a similar experience?
