I’m wondering if you know how low your cortisol had dropped to before you started working with Dr. Hughes to get it up. I’m planning on following your treatment with Dr Hughes, assuming it’s not a conflict with present doc. I’m at 1.9 on last cortisol level test. I’m on 9 mgs. Prednisone now.

Sub Optimal cortisone levels
I have doubled up my pred from 5 mg to 10 mg and both occasions until I have felt better Would any one know if this is due to my low
cortisone
levels? I see my Rheumatologist in 2 weeks

Mepolizumab update
Hoping to be off the pred(1mg/day) in a fortnight but have had to reduce slowly to ensure I’m able to make my own
cortisone
. Would be interested to see how others have done on this new treatment and a very Happy and healthy New year all x

Sudden extremely itchy red swollen hands
I treat with an ice pack and
cortisone
cream which helps. It take a few hours to go down completely. It’s just so weird. The doctor has no idea. Tested for Raynauds, but negative and I know it’s not that as my sister has it Has anyone else had any luck with a diagnosis of same. Thanks

Cortisol results: Low at 3 out of 4 readings.
Hi all, I’ve attached an image of my Crotisol + DHEA results that I received yesterday. Looks like I have low cortisol at 3 out of 4 times during the day. Could you please have a look at these and advise how to sort it out? From what I quickly read about it last night, adaptogen herbs may not be enough

DHEA test results, advice please
Done by NHS DHEA 2.3 (2.7 - 7.5) Is this bad? Does it mean Addison's? I had private adrenal tests done twice, 1 showing low cortisol, another showing high cortisol so seemingly recovered. I don't know where my body is right now. Thank you

Hydrocortisone and pain.
Five days on the hydrocortisone. Was on the prednisone since May and when cortisol test of last month read 3.1 my rheumatologist sent me to endocrinologist. Endocrinologist has me on 20 mgs hydrocortisone which is equivalent to 5 mgs prednisone. I’m eating very little and gaining a half lb daily and

Itchiness without rash - could be caused by high eosinophils ?
Has anybody with eosinophilic asthma got extreme itchiness ( fingertips , legs ) without rash - antihistamines and
cortisone
creams don't seem to help . Just wonder if it's one of the symptoms of high eosinophils and I should start my prednisone rescue pack

Non-NHS options to treating subclinical hypothyroidism?
Hi, after pushing my GP last week, they are still "very deaf" to my thyroid/antibodies and the saliva cortisol test - see below; NHS 9am serum cortisol was 309 in 2017 (compared to 376 in 2015 by Blue Horizons!). Blue Horizon Autumn 2017 Thyroid panel indicates ineffecient T4-T3 conversion: Folate (

Holiday Blues!
I have tendinitis, synovitis , bursitis.....My Rheumy called and has scheduled
cortisone
injections for Jan 24. I am so happy. I can manage as long as I know it will be better soon. I have also been open about the fact that I am struggling at the moment. I now go home when I am tired.

Cortisone injection in the knee
I just received another
Cortisone
shot in my right knee, being the most painful one. Well, now my both knees feel great! My husband thinks it's all in my head, funny guy that he is. My doctors don't know what to tell me. What do you think?

Very low cortisol.
I had a cortisol test yesterday and I came back at 4. Rheumatologist is trying to get a consult with endocrinologist for me. She said the endocrinologist would put me on hydrocortisone but she could not do that herself. Rheumatologist said to up my 5 mgs prednisone. Add another 5 mgs tonight. Then
