Progesterone Only Pill
Since my diagnosis I cannot get settled and I have tried the Mirena Coil, Depo, and then got thrown on
Levest
/Millinette by my GP. I am not having a great time on the combined pill, hence the debate of gong back on Progesterone Only.

Combi Pill
At the moment I'm taking
Levest
to help manage the symptoms which seemed to work for a couple months when I had energy and was pain free! Even though I've continued to take the pill, for the last couple months I've been experiencing pain, bleeding, nausea, bloating and fatigue again.

Adrenal/Cortisol issues- help please
So it's recently been bought to my attention that my struggles to tolerate any t4 t3 medication could be down to low cortisol or adrenal issues, is this common? I'm starting to question if adrenal issues are actually my main problem? I was diagnosed 'subclinical hypo' last year and have been on varying

Confusing first results on T4/T3
Hi all, I'm reposting this as I didn't get any replies š Please see my first results 6 weeks after introducing T3. I'm on 125mcg of levo and 10mcg of lio. I am very confused because I was certain that my current symptoms were due to being undermedicated! And how can my T4 be top of range again despite

Low 9am cortisol?
Hi all I wondered if anyone may have some advice regarding 9am cortisol please. My 9am blood cortisol has been tested a few times now and the last three tests have been 142nmol/L | 172nmol/L | 192nmol/L (I suspect the most recent one is higher due to having an extremely stressful time before it)

Adrenal tumour - anyone here with experience with it?
Hey everyone, My aldosterone levels are very elevated at 409 (range up to 190). I'm waiting for the adrenal MRI. My endo said he's suspecting adrenal adenoma since my ACTH was low, blood cortisol high, unable to raise thyroid meds or raising and having symptoms. Anyone here diagnosed with it or know

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimotoās 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didnāt work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Suspected Cushings or just hypo
Hey everyone, My endo is sending me for an MRI of pituitary and CT of chest, pelvis, abdomen and adrenals. My salivary cortisol seems to go up a lot after adding t3, my blood cortisol is over range and I'm having issues raising thyroid meds, keeping me in a hypo state. Apparently I could have a tumour

Really worried about how much worse I'm feeling on levo...
Hi everyone. I'm 3.5 weeks on 50mcg levo and I feel like I'm dying. I felt a
