Adrenal stress test. How long should I stop taking adrenal cortex extract?
In light of my latest thyroid panel, I need to check my adrenals again. I have been taking adrenal cortex extract for a few months, so I'm not entirely sure how long I have to stop taking this for, before doing the saliva test? Somebody kindly pointed out that I have to be off it for two weeks beforehand

Confused with test results - advice please!
I had my bloods done on Monday, and have just phoned for the results but I'm confused. Firstly, I am taking 2.5 grains of NDT (was taking 2 at the time of the blood test, and left 26 hours before having blood drawn). Before this blood test, my TSH was 2.8 back in May - the receptionist said it was 'quite

Just found out im pregnant
In a bit of a panic because I've tried everything and still feel so ill with constant dizziness, funny vision, panic attacks and balance problems. I've taken Levo, armour and t3 and also cortef I get better for a bit and then worse! I'm under dr s and dr p and getting nowhere. Do I keep trying especially

My body is refusing to play ball and I’m struggling to keep on top of everything.
I don't think I know what to do anymore. I feel like in some way I have messed up my treatment plan but I am trying my best not to blame myself as I know that’s not healthy and circumstances are really difficult for me at the moment. I have been ill at this level for a long time and I am struggling

Been on the cortef about 10 days and felt a bit better. But on monday this week I started eating a paleo diet and taking anti fungals. I have felt a bit bit

I've just weaned off cortef. How long should I leave it until my Gp does the cortisol blood test. how long does cortef stay in the blood ?
I'm fully aware that the blood test is unreliable but my gp insists we must start the process of assessing my adrenal function with a cortisol blood test..does anyone know how long, now that I've slowly weaned myself off cortef, I should leave it before getting the gp to do the cortisol blood test..How
