Adrenal situation grim?
Hello, have been relatively stable lately on hormone substitution after Graves induced TT (2014) but I have considered to have a deeper look into adrenals activity as I felt HRT, vitamins and minerals are well enough but situation stopped improving to a certain point. Latest vitamin and test are here

My body Cycles between Good Times and Bad Times
I go through cycles of good times "warm, calm, sleepy, sharp" and bad times "cold, anxious, alert-insomnia, fogy" This cycle takes around a week and mostly the bad side last longer. I couldn't find out the cause by consulting doctors. I think it is related to thyroid or adrenals which needs time to

Rhuemy says my blood markers are normal and should dismiss me but is trying something new. Antimalaria drug?
I had a shoulder issue which has been sorted out to being spinal arthritis and I recently had a
cortisone
shot in my c7 vertebra which can't hurt me any. Last week I was having very bad pain so I went out for a blood test so I could prove to him and myself that something was going on.

Arthritis not imbruvica
Last year I had a shot of
cortisone
which really helped when I developed a baker's cyst. Since my ankles also ache and crack, I have just blamed the imbruvica which I have been on for 25 months (and doing fantastically).

Hyperacusis and Tinnitus since 8 April 2017
The second one (21th April 2017) gave me '
Cortisone
', I am still taking the threatment it finishes tomorrow. This was, 3 tablets of 16mg a day during 4 day, 2 tablets 16 mg during the next 4 days and only 1 tablet 16mg the 4 days next. THE TABLETS DID NOTHING SO FAR.

Shoulder Pain
I have had arthritis for many years now but my shoulder pain is something else which resulted in several
cortisone
injections which do help for a while but soon wear off.

Very high blood cortisol result. Please help :-(
I have been ill for 18 months with fatigue, weakness, dizziness on and off... thyroid was found out of range (underactive) and I have been on thyroxine for 13 months. Recent results showed TSH was 1.7, FT4 19 and FT3 5. Results yesterday showed TSH had gone up to 3.4 and FT4 17.4. So I need to speak

should cortisone always be combined with DHEA?
The reason is that DHEA will prevent
cortisone
from "eating up" too much tissue. Therefore, you are handed a prescription for DHEA along with your prescription for
cortisone
. Last year, my DHEA-S levels were out of range (372 ug/dL; ref 56-283).
