Thyroid Lab Interpretation Help - Low Frees + Low Cortisol
Hi All, Firstly, thanks for any advice any of you may have! I was chronically fatigued and in mild pain when a functional MD said according to my blood work they thought I had slight thyroid dysfunction. They started me on NP Thyroid 30 mg and I felt amazing! Energy was back, headaches stopped, cycles

Has anyone with Hashimoto's tried LDN (Low dose naltrexone) and had good results and symptom relief?
Hello! Finally found a wonderful clinic that specializes in complete hormone balancing. Peak Medical Clinic in Medford, Oregon. I have been struggling for two years and Endocrinologist and regular doctor wouldn't do adrenal, sex hormone, and complete thyroid testing to figure out why I can't tolerate

Thyroid and Adrenals
Hi, I have low morning cortisol and just don’t have the energy to make it through the day. I take NDT and top up with t3 but my t4 levels are always low and out of range. I think when I try to raise my NDT it potentially back fires due to low cortisol? I have had 3 SST tests done and I pass every time

Labs back, would appreciate feedback!
These are my latest fasting blood glucose and insulin levels: blood glucose 110 mg/dL (ref 70-105); a year ago (before taking
cortisone
): 90 insulin 18.0 uU/mL (ref 2.6-24.9) a year ago: 13.4 It does not take a genius to figure out my out-of-range blood glucose and high insulin levels have something

WHY I HATE THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
She did say that she would inject the joint with
cortisone
if I wanted to try it just to see if I could get some relief. I told her that that sounded pointless, and she agreed. I asked her if she could inject the same stuff into the nerve.

Have I gone overactive?!
Can anyone please help with my latest results? I'm confused! I saw a gyne doctor the other day regarding pelvic pain and she said that it could be down to my thyroid being overactive. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in my early 20s, and Hashimoto's six years ago, but she thinks I've tipped

T3 pooling
Today I stumbled upon an interesting thing: T3 pooling, most often caused by low (sometimes high) cortisol levels. The reason I stumbled upon it was because, our of sheer desperation, I decided to go down the t3 only route after reading several articles about rT3 dominance and, lately, "The paleo thyroid

RA diagnosis without joint deformity
First appt in Rheumatology I was told probable fibromyalgia, second opinion with a second rheumatologist in Rheumatology still thinks it is maybe fibromyalgia but is treating me with quinoric and gave me a
cortisone
injection during the appointment (which was 2 weeks ago). It seems to have worked.

High blood pressure...would appreciate input!
I just had my third GP appointment in less than three weeks. I've had high blood pressure for years. It was first discovered back in 2000 when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I was then told it would normalise once my TSH normalised on levothyroxine. However, it never fully has so, back in 2013, I

Undiagnosed Pelvic, Urethral, and Vaginal Pain / Itch / Bloating
Using over the counter
cortisone
cream for the past month. Skin on labia was highly irritated and red. On May 31, I went back to my gyno to have her do another vaginal exam. She ran a urinalysis for STDs and swabbed for BV. All came back negative.

Continue medication maybe Adrenal fatigue
I suspect I may have some adrenal/cortisol issues but maybe they are hypo symptoms. I’ve tried NDT twice and both times have ended disastrously with me feeling horrible for months and doctors telling me it’s all JUST anxiety. I could never raise NDT past 1 1/2 grains and have terrible symptoms like back
