Humming to sudden deafness in left ear
If there is no change I’m to stop the prednisone ( cold turkey) and I will have a procedure to inject
cortisone
directly into my ear. 😫 If there is an improvement with my hearing, then I will continue with the prednisone and ASAP an MRI will be carried out...to check that there isn’t a benign Tumour

Bloods show low TSH AND T4 on NDT
Hi, I started Metavive II 6-7 months ago on advice of nutritionist who suggested 30mg. I raised every 2 weeks and settled on 5 caps a day. Had bloods tested without stopping Metavive and gynae was concerned at v low TSH, low normal T4. T3 was normal. I tested again after I stopped Metavive for 2 days

Adrenals awakening? /Enough Prednisone?/Sleeplessness.
I think that the normal level of
cortisone
is about 7 so if my Adrenals aren’t working surely 5mgs won’t be enough for my body? What does it feel like when the Adrenals start to wake up? Sorry I hope someone can understand my questions it’s a bit hard to explain what I mean.

T3, cortisol tests and adrenal function
I started T3 8 weeks ago, initially 3 times a day but then changed to twice a day (8am and 8pm) as it seemed to be affecting my sleep. When I sleep ok, I don’t go to sleep until 3am and wake at 11.30am. Endo advised 15mcg but when I take that I get very interrupted sleep so I am currently taking 12.5

Help with my results
Hi all, I have had my results back from a recent check and before I have a follow up appointment I was hoping you might be able to advise me on what my optimal results should be (because most of them say I am "normal"/ within range). I should say, before I post results, that I have stopped taking Levo

Over-medicated or Having Low Cortisol on Thyroid-S?
I just started taking Thyroid-S after being hypothyroid for two months from a bad batch of NDT. Maybe I need to give Thyroid-S more time, or maybe I need to treat the adrenals first, but I thought I'd share my experience on it so far when I take 2.5 Grains. I used to take 2.5 Grains of WP, Nature-Throid

Low Cortisol - Synacthen Blood Test
Hello, With the above test (I am due to have next week) does it need to be taken first thing in the morning? I have previously had two standard blood tests at 9.00 am which has highlighted a low cortisol reading and so a follow-up synacthen test is now being taken by the GP practice. My appointment

Hip problems from Pred?
Someone said that artritis can start after
cortisone
treatment? Maybe somebody in here knows more? I have artritis in my family but my physiotherapist thinks I am to young for that.

Walking distances with Myositis
Cortisone
starts everything up again & moving throughout the day keeps everything to a certain extent, ticking over. Next week I see a rheumatologist for first time. I guess a diagnosis will come.

Crazy high saliva cortisol results
I just got my saliva cortisol test results, and I'm surprised to say the least....I was expecting to see low cortisol, as last time I was tested I was super low (admittedly that was 3 years ago!) But I am well above the range at all 4 times! I'm off the top of the chart for the 2 morning readings. Could

Thyroid med increase and adrenal impact
Hi, 2 weeks ago I had an increase in my thyroid medications. I was on 5mcg T3 twice a day and 75mcg Levothyroxine. Increased to 5mcg T3 three times a day and remain on 75mcg Levothyroxine The reason for my increase is that 4 weeks ago I decided to join a local gym to get fitter as last year I was housebound

Would like input from people who have tried Saxenda (especially people with hypothyroidism)
Nine months ago, I was put on high doses of
cortisone
for a short period of time (six weeks) and started gaining weight again, first slowly, then faster and faster, even after going off
cortisone
. Today, I have regained 27 of the 30 kgs lost, and nothing I do seems to matter.
