Been recommended knee Synevectomy
After more than a year of
cortisone
shots and one arthroscopy, doc has suggested a knee Synevectomy. What is the recovery time? I am an active, healthy 62 year old. Or I should specify I WAS active. Doc has been draining 60 cc's of fluid from my knee weekly.

Cortisol trsting
Hi could someone tell me the best way to privately tests cortisol binding globulin levels please? I want blood tests done (not saliva) that will tell me my cortisol plus the cbg levels because I'm suspecting my symptoms of low cortisol are caused by high cbg levels prob caused by high estrogen. I also

Can anyone help interpret results of a Metypirone test?
My adrenal function has been sluggish with cortisol levels taking almost one year to return to the "normal" range, albeit the lower end of normal. My endo decided to further evaluate the HPA axis. Last week, I was given 3000 of Metypirone at midnight to block adrenal function. At 07:30 the following

Update
I go back in a month to recheck labs since my WBC was elevated and I still have severe shoulder pain ( I had a
cortisone
shot about 5 or 6 months ago which helped) for the last several months and my Rheumy gave me another shot this month but hasn't helped. I am having an MRI next week.

Self medicating hypothyroidism, advice??
Hi everyone! (: I'm new here so I hope I'm doing this correctly. I could really use some advice.. my doctor is useless(what else is new), I know pretty much 100% that I have hypothyroidism. It runs in my family and I have struggled severely with *every* single symptom(including the more specific ones

Three hours for a hospital appointment
So now it's more nerve tests to be done at Preston to check for trapped nerves in my neck/ shoulder, an ultrasound to accompany
cortisone
jabs into said shoulder and an MRI of my cervical spine to see if the trapped nerves are due to a problem there.

Blood results advice needed
I have been having hypothyroid symptoms for a year, including weight gain, slow heart rate, tiredness and constipation, to name but a few ! I had blood tests last year due to a missed period which showed Prolactin 850 (range 109-557). TSH 1.85 (range 0.35-5.0). I invested in private bloods in May as

Adrenal Stress results - high cortisol. Noooooo!
I have just had these results and would appreciate any advice tips re: management of high/’high within range’ cortisol, particularly the afternoon one. I have been taking herbal adaptogens (liquorice, ginseng, gingko biloba, California poppy, milk thistle, mother wort and ginger) since March, which

Understanding blood test results
Hi all. After 15 years on levo and constantly suffering from fatigue etc I have pretty much demanded an endo referral. My GP ran some blood tests last week and has sent off the referral. The surgery receptionist has printed off the results for me today. Slightly mystified that there are no thyroid results

PMR returns?
Hi, I developed classic PMR symptoms about a year ago, but with normal blood tests it took a while for my GP to prescribe 15mg pred last October which worked immediately. Rheumy said he couldnt really help until I came off the pred to see what was going on so I tapered off from 15mg to 0 between Jan

GCA - tapering Pred?
In May 2015 I came off my
cortisone
treatment after having had PMR and GCA for 2 years and 7 months. CRP and ESR immediately began to rise. Stiffness, sustained dry cough, temple tensions and jaw pain indicated continued inflammation, but I couldn't bring myself to accept this.

My latest test results, dont understand what is going on :(
Now I am borderline for Hashimoto based on TPOab, my TT4 keeps dropping which means I am not producing enough to make T4 and T3, only TSH remains normal. Between these tests on January 2015 I had blood taken on local private clinic when my TSH was 2.3 same range, T4 17(range 10-21) and T3 5.9 (range

aldosterone and adrenal fatigue?
Or is the idea that once your adrenal glands recover, with the help of HC or Medrol, not only will they start producing more
cortisone
, but also more aldosterone...?

rT3 dominance?
I have been wondering lately if I could be suffering from rT3 dominance. I have read that a lot of things can cause rT3 pooling: low cortisol (I have been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue), blood sugar issues, vitamin and mineral deficiencies... I know some labs offer rT3 testing, but they seem few and

Loosing phlegm and mucus in back of throat
Post nasal drip is the culprit and anything I can do to help this is beneficial: (1) Sinus rinse with netie pot, (2) a nasal spray containing
cortisone
. These are over the counter now and there is a new one called Rhinocort which I have just started using.

Adrenaline Rushes and Pituitary
Hello friends, I posted before about my adrenaline rushes during my sleep. I have a low tsh (suppressed <0.3) due to pituitary dysfunction. I took levothyroxine and it helped me a lot but still experiencing these rushes almost every night. Is it possible that my body experiences low cortisol during

Responding poorly to cortisol therapy/hydrocortisone
An adrenal test taken a few months ago indicated moderately low cortisol output throughout the day, however my symptoms have been relatively bad. I wake up groggy and tired, get hypoglycemic reactions after a high protein breakfast, cannot exercise, I have rapidly gained weight and my cognition is impaired
