Dr Skinner and prednisolone
I have just been reading Dr Skinner's bk 'Diagnosis and Management of Hypothyroidism'. In dealing with low cortisol levels he prefers prednisolone over hydrocortisone as it 'covers the mineralocorticoid as well as the glucocorticoid functions' Has anyone had any expedience of using prednisolone for low

Crippling muscular pain - why?
I have had this on and off for a few years but now it is just so bad. If I exhurt myself - take a short walk or maybe do the supermarket weekly shop I find my feet, legs, thighs, arms crippled with pain. Muscular pain. As though I had run a marathon. It's now everyday. Without fail. It renders me helpless

cortisone
if it happens- that's fine but I'm having my second out of the 3 permitted tomorrow so what then if i run out?

Some B12 and Cortisol help please
I have been very ill, bed bound for the last month. Two trips to A&E with very fast irregular heart beat of 149 bpm. They did tracings but it had calm down and gone to normal by then. I have now developed POTS like symptoms especially bad when getting out of bed in the mornings. Low blood sugar episodes

latest labs,please
Hi everyone,I hope you're all doing good. Can you please comment on my labs? Is that anemia that I'm seeing in the results or I'm not interpreting correctly?Also,scan revealed two nodules,sized 0.20 & 0.23 cm, one on each lobe. Should I have a biopsy?Do nodules affect adrenal function,as mine is already
