Menopause and RA
Hello girls, After two years of being in menopause, I had bleeding again, it coincided with 3 days after having applied a
cortisone
injection (diprospan). Does anyone have a similar experience with this medication or with another of the common ones to treat RA?

Cirrhosis confusion and medication for other conditions (cortisone injections)
Altered diet and exercise to try to reverse diabetes (which I have done) Had
cortisone
injections in both knees Nov 2022 and currently pain free. I was experiencing some pain in my back, lower right just around bottom of rib cage.

An Interesting Three Weeks
Hi all, my apologies for not being being around recently but been a tad tied up. In short, around three weeks ago, I wasn't feeling as well as usual, I took my BS on a Monday morning as normal and it came back at 3.4mmol/L's, not a good start to the week. Got that sorted and it seemed to settle down

Transitioning from NDT to T3 (slowly) - anyone done this? Or combines NDT with t3?
Hello there, After many years unsuccessfully on Levo, then NDT, NDT+T4, I'm trying NDT and T3...and it's tricky. My timing might be incorrect, I take now 3 daily doses and I'm feeling overmedicated in the afternoon (tight chest, dizzy, weird energy, hunger, sweaty feet, blurry vision etc.). I take

Is it RLS or something else?
I had a
cortisone
injection in the right hip in March 2022 (was not on Lexarpro at the time) , and it settled a few weeks after that. A placebo effect, maybe? My Anxiety got bad again in June 2022, so I begun 10mg on Lexarpro again. What I think is RLS slowly crept up on me again.

Advise for next appointment please. New to Forum, Really Struggling with GP.
Hello everyone, Looking for advice I can have with my GP or Endo the next time I have an appointment, as I am getting nowhere and very slowly. Briefly - I started with symptoms in 2020-2021 and visit the Dr suggesting it was my thyroid. Initially (over the phone) they said probably menopause or stress

Basal Cortisol Test Result
I have recently had a basal cortisol test and my serum cortisol level is 296 nmol/L. I have an appointment with my GP on Wednesday to discuss. My test results says that this is normal but on reading information on the Internet I’m not too sure that this is entirely correct. I have found the following

First test results after adding T3 - I’m confused!
Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate your help with my latest results and welcome ideas for suggested next steps. Just a reminder, I currently self-treat. In October I posted the following results (Randox) whilst on 62.5mcg of Levo (Eutirox): TSH 1.44 (0.35-5.5) FT4 18.2 (11.9-21.6) FT3 3.96 (3.1

Tapering and Fatigue
Hello All Some advice would be very welcome. I completed a slow taper (over 4 weeks) form 9.5 to 9mg prednisolone 10 days ago and thought I was doing quite well. However, in the last two days I have been completely overcome with fatigue such that I am barely able to function. I also feel a bit shaky

allergies
I am still on
cortisone
and antihistamines but after 6 days am beginning to feel better. It is worrying though , and I cannot help thinking 'what next?'. My inclination is to think that the Ibrutinib could be making me ever more sensitive.

Endocrinologist recommendations in/near West Sussex for Addison's / adrenals
Can anybody recommend an endocrinologist in West Sussex or nearby please who knows about adrenals and Addison's? It comes as no surprise to me, but a private blood screen has just shown very low cortisol levels and a couple of other bits, that suggest an adrenal problem, possibly Addison's. I've not

Morning blood cortisol test, is it worth it?
Hello everyone, I'm planning on doing an Ultimate Performance blood test with Medichecks to look at a whole range of things. Particularly I'm interested in the thyroid values as it will be a 6 week follow up to my pervious one and I want to see if anything has changed. I'm undiagnosed and unmedicated

Advice on back pain & pred dosing...
Morning, i joined this group a few months ago and find it so useful even though I don't have pmr. I do have tertiary adrenal insufficiency, ulcerative colitis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and possibly pots. In the last 2 years after having covid twice I developed cushing symptom due to over replacement

Serum cortisol test results
Hello all, Further to my saliva cortisol test (link to post below), I requested a serum cortisol test at my GPs (8.45am, yesterday): Serum cortisol level 381 nmol/L >350 nmol/L makes adrenal insufficiency unlikely Is this in keeping with my less-than-optimal-and-occasionally-below-range saliva results

Need your advice, pls, what should I take and how?
Hey all, I've been on a bit of a journey, unwell for the past few years, diagnosed 2012, did awesome on thyroid meds until...I didn't. Since I have now all cofactors optimal (vit D, B12, folate, iron, ferritin - after iron IV, magnesium), I feel my problem either stems from cortisol issues or balance

Hair loss on taxol
I was "pre-treated" with hydro-
cortisone
and benedryl. I've had so much benedryl since I was tiny that it doesn't make me sleepy, and I tolerated all the prep just fine.
