I've been dealing with high cortisol for the several years (possibly more) and cannot seem to get it under control any means. My last salivary cortisol is the highest it's ever been (will list figures below) and my sleep is now seriously impaired. I'm sick of being told it's "stress", I'm unable to

Is it hip Bursitis please?
Had suffered with it 7 years ago, and it finally went after a year after I'd had 3
cortisone
injections in it.. It is so painful nothing is helping - even tried Ibuprofen with extra Omeprazole (I have an excellent Pharmacist that knows my history to advise).

Cortisol results. Any opinions welcome.
Hello, I'm new to this site and as far as I know I don't have a thyroid problem, although tsh has moved from 0.28 up to 1.4 recently. Not sure if that is significant win any way. I wondered if anyone could give me any thoughts on my cortisol results. I wasn't sure where to post them, hope no-one minds

Possible low adrenal function
Hi all, I was diagnosed hypothyroid (Hashimotos) just under a year ago. I'm now taking 100mcg of levothyroxine per day, the most my doctor will allow based on my blood tests. I am strictly gluten-free and also avoiding cows dairy and nightshades, tea and coffee, chocolate and avocado (the last are migraine

Tiromel problems?
Good morning. Has anyone found Tiromel by Abdi Ibrahim to be weak lately? I opened a new batch this week and had to double my dose. I was out shopping and suddenly felt tired. I had felt tired for a few days but had attributed it to the usual suspects, low iron, low cortisol, low vit b12. And sent for

No increase in FT4 with either Levo or NDT. Second miscarriage- ? connection
I was never started on
cortisone
as the adrenal function gradually improved, however my GP and Endo here in the UK could not offer an explanation as to why I continued to feel like death and wanted to sleep all day, saying my bloods on Levo were fine.

Dr Nicola Hembry - has anyone used this doctor?
Hi - I'm in Bristol and am thinking about seeing Dr Hembry. Has anyone seen her / can recommend please? It seems frighteningly expensive - but im not feeling confident with advice from gp. Also think my symptoms are probably connected and it needs someone to look at the whole picture. I'm 61, been

Low cortisol possibility?
Hi all I won't bore you with my history but I have been around the houses a bit with drs unsure what's wrong. I have many symptoms similar to hypothyroid, M.E, fibromyalgia and been tested for most things but still everything is 'fine'. Latest involved a visit to the rheumatologists who again checked

What a laugh! Any one else been badly treated?
So after some 20 years of jumping through the NHS hoops to get a diagnosis and being badly let down, then going private to find that I did have limes disease and anaemia that the doctors didn't pick up from my tests. CD 57 range is 130 to 300 my results were -11! That's another story!! Last September

Shoulder pain - what's going on?
Over the past year or so I have had both shoulders injected and the pain responded well to the
cortisone
but this recent pain is different. I am at a total loss as to what is going on and I'm hoping that my consultant will send me for an MRI when I see him in March.

Avastin and steroids
Hi ladies To day I asked my oncologist to stop
cortisone
but he refused. I take Avastin infusions every 3 weeks for maintenance. Does anyone do Avastin without steroids? If so what side effects do you get?
