Some info on cortisol.
Read an interesting article today, thought I'd post basics. Link at the bottom for whole article. *Must get results from Saliva testing not blood. High cortisol can block the conversion of T4 to T3, favoring conversion to RT3 and putting you further into a hypothyroid state. Both high cortisol and low

~Progress update on low dose Naltexone~
I wrote several months ago on a fairly controversial topic regarding starting the use of Low Dose Naltrexone (orally 0.5mg) which in a short time made me feel nauseous even on such a low dose. Pharmaceutical Compounding made me a paraben free cream & I apply to areas of inflammation or where it hurts

Adrenal insufficiency
Hi all, I just posted an adrenal insufficiency question on another community, but then was thinking perhaps I should have posted on my usual community as well given that virtually all of us would have taken Pred for long periods. My GP did (at the request of one of my consultants) a 9am cortisol serum

Adrenal insufficiency Advice
Hi, This is my first post on this community, as I usually post on Vasculitis community (as I was suspected of having Vasculitis), but I am now looking for advice on Adrenal insufficiency. Until recently I was on immune suppressors but these were stopped leaving me on 5mg of Prednisolone once daily. My

High blood pressure
I have just had a check up at my gp and have found my blood pressure is too high. I am checking it twice a day at home for the next week. Does anyone else have this and could it be related to the hydrocortisone I am taking? I am due to see my endocrinologist at the end of May.

High ACTH levels despite steroid replacement
Good afternoon, everyone! I have an interesting situation, and I would appreciate your thoughts and insight. When I was first diagnosed with primary adrenal insufficiency, my ACTH levels were found to be very high, in the 9000 pg/mL range. The endocrinologist that I originally saw started me on 10 mg

Not Addisons, so now what?
Following 6 weeks of very low BP, daily fainting, couldn't drive, hair falling out, depression, lost a stone and a half, couldn't eat, vomiting etc I finally got to an endocrine clinic on 31st March, where I passed out - I was given a short synacthen test immediately and told to take Hydrocortisone 3

Anybody had problems with parotid (saliva) glands?
My saliva glands (in the cheek near the ear at the base of the jawbone) seem to be swollen and sore. I was first treated for parotitis but it didn't go away even after several lots of antibiotics. Also have swelling in lymph at base of neck which comes and goes. Been checked out with an MRI scan and

should cortisone always be combined with DHEA?
The Hertoghe doctors say you need to take DHEA with hydrocortisone or Medrol (unless you also suffer from PCOS). The reason is that DHEA will prevent cortisone from "eating up" too much tissue. Therefore, you are handed a prescription for DHEA along with your prescription for cortisone. Last year, my
