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 (

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

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

Cortisol issues with subclinical hypothyroidism?
If anyone wants more context of my problem here is a post I made 6 months ago: https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/135956495/do-i-have-hypothyroidism-in-need-of-advice. Since then I've done three blood tests and while my Free T3 and Free T4 levels were mid range in all of them my TSH came back

Secondary Addison’s
I wrote a post a couple of months regarding
cortisone
levels. I now understand what is going on. I have secondary Addison’s disease, I am now depending on hydrocortisone daily. 20mg is my daily dose but this needs adjusting if I’m ill, sick, stress etc.

Hello, newbie here
My asthma is usually managed and normally I can go to exercise classes after work, however, following a chest infection at the end of November (two lots of antibiotics and one lot of oral
cortisone
) have been struggling to breathe & sleep since.

I'm 24 years old and female. I feel so muddled about what to do at the moment. I have so many symptoms and undergone so many tests. My TSH has jumped from 5.6 (0.2 - 4.2) to 2.2 (0.2 - 4.2) within 2 months, then 0.02 (0.2 - 4.2) to 5.44 (0.2 - 4.2) within 4 weeks! Vitamins and minerals I have been told

CORTISONE SHOT/THYROID
I had a
cortisone
shot in my foot 6 days ago. The skin on my face became so rough and dry, just like sand-paper. Could the
cortisone
injection have affected my thyroid to cause this condition? and will it go away in a period of time?

PMR - new symptoms
I saw the GP today and he said my deltoid bursa and deltoid tendon were irritated, so he gave me a
cortisone
shot. It's been 8 hrs since the shot and I am experiencing Improvement, but still have a little residual pain. Has anyone else experienced something like this overnight?

Undiagnosed Hand/Wrist/Arm Pain
They diagnosed me with tendinitis, and gave me
cortisone
shots and anti-inflammatory medication, which did not help. After two years of increased pain, they ran nerve tests again, which came back positive for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Help! Best Private Functional Adrenal Dr UK :-)
I would really appreciate any PM's with recommendations of good private functional Dr's anywhere in the UK. It seems like such a minefield! I'm so desperate as I'm currently housebound due to low cortisol, Iron, Vitamin D and Zinc. I would love some support to get me out of this pickle! I don't really

Mostly dizzy, waiting for a diagnosis, and looking for answers
I had three rounds of
cortisone
shots and physical therapy, which didn’t seem to help. Over time, it simply improved on its own. My bigggest issue is the pain in my temples, dizziness, nausea, and ringing in ears.

Tapering at a snails pace but still having withdrawal issues
I notice also, and perhaps this is due to
cortisone
being lower at night, that if I turn over during the night my arms are so so tired and I feel stiffness in my pectoral muscles. All is back to normal on waking. I am currently mid way between 1.5 and 1.25mg. Generally quite tired but doing ok.
