T3 is making me unwell
Hello all, I have Hashimoto and recently managed to get a referral to an endo. I got T3 as I have conversion issues. At the time of appointment he increased my levo from 100 to 125 mcg daily. then I got a letter saying to reduce it back to 100mcg and add 10mg of T3. I take 2 x 5mg pill one in morning

Statin
My knee was swollen so I got a
cortisone
shot thinking that would help the pain and it did but now I feel worse everywhere else. Could this be from the statin I've been prescribed? Well, I feel it is so I'm not taking a statin ever again. I use to be very active and now I can't even get out of bed.

Left Leg Pain
I have had several
cortisone
injections in L4 and L5 also in my hamstring bursa. None have improved the pain. Does anyone have any thoughts?

has anyone had a problem with bone fractures?
I've had 7 foot x-rays, 5 MRI's of foot, ankle, and leg, 7 ultra sounds of leg, 8
cortisone
shots, Physical therapy, Tens unit treatments, etc. And no doctor seems to make a connection with any of this and why it all has been happening in my right leg and foot.

MOD Report Fibromyalgia - Gov.uk
Hello fellow members ! A handy document to reference to maybe? 3.1. No single specific cause of FMS has yet been identified. The absence of any peripheral pathology and the presence of widespread tissue hyperalgesia suggest a central mechanism for the syndrome rather than some pathological process

Immflamation cream/gel
The docs answer is to up the level of my gebapentin as I have had a
cortisone
inj a couple months back. The fact I can't lift a kettle without extreme pain seemed irrelevant.... I've tried freeze spray with VERY temp pain alleviation.

OA Knees
The pain was awful but a
cortisone
shot made me feel vaguely human again, albeit with limited mobility still. That shot is now wearing off and , surprise surprise, my other knee is now playing up and very painful too.

Tears at the supermarket,well nearly.
What on earth is wrong with me. Mid-week shop so not a lot to get but I just can't cope with the supermarket. Hubby was with me and likes to use the self service checkout,which I do not like and usually make him use them on his own. Today that stupid machine kept on "unexpected item in bagging area."

Does anyone with secondary/central hypo suffer with polyuria?
I am undiagnosed at present (normal bloods!) but have been having hypo symptoms. I am being tested for all sorts at the moment, most recently serum cortisol which came back slightly on the low side. As a result I have been asked to do a 24hr urine test and I was getting concerned that the container is

Adrenal fatigue and low cortisol
There r different therapies to treat this issue but it wd be v useful to hear of users experience. What worked or didn't work.

3 grains of NDT and my T4 is only 8.2???
Hi, I've been switching over from T3 only (60mcgs) to NDT. I feel very hypo even though I'm now on 4 grains and I suspect I'm not converting. However I had some bloods done last week when I was on 3 grains of NDT and my TSH had come up from 0.01 since the last time it was tested on T3 only (as one
