Cortisone/ablation spinal injection
I’ve been offered a
cortisone
spinal injection so help ease the inflammation. Also, if this doesn’t help with the pain they can then do a radio frequency ablation. Has anyone had either of these? Ss

Brand of T4 and timing
Hello, my husband has a T4 private prescription and wondering which brand seems to be the most well tolerated? Also, he has low cortisol so wondering if taking it at night might work better for him? Thanks

Taking hormone pills with Hashimotos
I’ve always avoided the contraceptive pill with my thyroid issue, I didn’t feel it was the right thing to do. I recently had an appointment with an endocrinologist, due to chronic insomnia, which I suspect is due to my low cortisol and low DHEA. She hasn’t confirmed as yet her proposed treatment plan

Another disappointing endocrinologist - Cornwall
I know I am unable to discuss individual Doctors here, but thought it might help others to mention what happened at my NHS endo meeting. I saw a female endo via the NHS yesterday, who is based in Truro, Cornwall and off Thyroid UKs list of Endos who (amongst other things) may help with low DHEA (my

Adrenal Insufficiency - it is possible to recover with severe asthma?
So it was confirmed that I have secondary adrenal insufficiency the other week. They did also look at Primary but my blood results have shown that it is down to the steriods taken for my asthma. My cortisol level was again below 28 and unreadable but surprisingly my ACTH came back at 49. Renin was high

Struggling to get any doctors to listen to me.
He also denied my request to potentially look into having
cortisone
injections, because I didn’t have any/significant swelling - I suggested this may be due to the Naproxen bringing it down and he still said no.

Any insight on these results?
My mum's results - she's on 175 Levo and 15 T3. She already takes a D supplement, which I guess will need increasing. She stopped all biotin supplements 4 days before we did the test. She took no thyroid meds the morning of the test. This is the first time the test has come back showing low cortisol,

Post holiday run🤣🏃♀️🤣
Cool this morning but dry so headed off for my usual slow mile and half. ( still waiting for my
cortisone
injection so easy does it atm). Having just returned from Dorset I found the route so different having gone up and down coastal paths for the past week my route seemed quite tame.

Third Vaccine
He gave me a booster
cortisone
injection in my thigh, today can bend my finger and walk without pain. All without increasing my Pred again. 😀 Hopefully third jab won’t leave me with anymore side effects. Thanks for all your replies. Helen

Torn rotator cuff. What to do?
Month of acupuncture, helped with some of the pain & had a
cortisone
shot, temporary relief. I am not sure what I should do. Anyone who has gone through this or knows someone would be helpful.

Nutri advanced adrenal extract
Hello I’ve been taking Nutri Advanced freeze dried Adrenal extract (capsules) for nearly 1 year due to low cortisol readings (Not Addisons). It’s meant to be hormone free. Has anyone had experience of these and if so, how did you find weaning off then?

The Saga Continues after PMR
I waited 3 months (in California USA) for a referral for x-ray guided
cortisone
injections. During waiting time I went to a foot doctor for Plantar Fasciitis and she told me the problem was that my left leg was 1/2" shorter than the right and that I needed Orthotics.

PMR and carpel Tunnel
The doc say I should get a
cortisone
shot. Does anyone else have carpel tunnel with PMR? Very disappointed in the yo-yo ing with prednisone. I hope the methotrexate does something. Enjoy your day and Thank you! Kim

Research into Magnesium and RLS/PLMS
I know that the use of Magnesium to control/treat RLS is considered at best unproven and at worst controversial, but I - and various others - have found dosing with Magnesium Citrate very helpful. The studies looking into this have been much too small, and peer reviews have deemed studies inconclusive

Anyone with Lupus experience upper back pain, scapula pain, and upper arm pain?
At the same time I got carpal tunnel in my right wrist which I got a
cortisone
shot for. I am just miserable in pain and horrible fatigue. I use a heating pad on my back the whole time I am at home. I just did acupuncture and cupping for the first time yesterday I hope it works.

TENS : An Alternative Option for Management of PAIN From Multiple Causes
Next, I will test it on one of my neighbors who has pretty severe knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) to the point of needing
cortisone
shots regularly in the knees. To me, that will be a very good test of how well it works for KOA.
