Bursitis - Sciatica ??
He said it is probably Bursitis and he can give me
cortisone
shot if it bothers me but, it has nothing to do with Lupus. Well, I have been lying on my belly on the floor for last couple of days (only place it stops hurting for a while) exploring the net looking for answer.

Cortisol causing havoc……… and I don't seem to be able to see my consultant, and my GP won't treat me as she wants me to see the consultant!
Hi, I am looking for some help from people who no doubt have suffered from low cortisol levels at some point. To keep my story short (you can read my previous posts for a more in depth view) I collapsed in May 2013. At first it was diagnosed as a lupus flare but then that was thrown out as my inflammation

Cortisol levels
Any ideas, people? After years of saying to anyone who would listen that I thought there was more going on than just being hypothyroid, I saw Dr O and he suggested Adrenal Fatigue. When my saliva test results came back from Genova instead of low cortisol its high - in fact about twice the top of

Myxedema
Me again....complaining about my myxedema and WHY it is not shifting. I recently saw a friend and they commented "wow, you look so different". Not a good sign. I am on 270 mcg T3 only now for five months. I thought perhaps it was not being absorbed so I tested RT3 and free T3 and of course T3 is high

Painful/swollen leg
I get pain in my left hip which was severe a few months ago so I went to the GP who suggested a
cortisone
injection but my hip was improving so I never had this done. I have been getting cramp like pains in my legs, mainly my left calf but also my right, also in my feet.

T3 or not T3? Anyone more successful on this in comparison to NDT?
Have decided to put up all my bloods over the past 2 years (relevant ones) plus my adrenal test which was done in 2012 (as attachment).

Does Cortisol help to push T3 into cells?
I believe high cortisol impairs NDT effectiveness. I believe I have low cortisol during the day and high in the evening and at night. Due to a particularly stressfull period I started taking half a capsule of Seriphos a day but I just read that cortisol helps push T3 into the cells.

Hypo with hot flashes...
Does anyone suffer from this? I'm post menopausal and my core temperature is still around 36.3, but I have an inability to deal with heat. I had it last summer too. When I exert myself or get hot, I have a ridiculously over the top response and the sweat pours off me. Nice huh?! I'm on 37.5 mcg T3 and
