Salivary cortisol tests with high levels?
Has anyone used the 24hour salivary cortisol tests after having a high blood cortisol (620 on a 7am finger prick test, where high was above 557) They seem to be used more with adrenal insufficiency, so just wondering if it would be helpful?

Anxiety or something else???
Have I been fooling myself. Is it all anxiety? I linger in the background but rarely post. I have suffered with anxiety and panic for years now over 20. I suddenly developed it after developing colitis c difficile from a botched root canal. Thus the anxiety and stomach issues. I always am searching

Adrenals weak?
I'm currently titrating T3-only (first 3 weeks, currently at 30-40µg) and i'm not sure if i should do something about my adrenals. Some details (all tests before any thyroid medication): - Morning cortisol blood tests are high (near upper range) - Saliva tests shows high morning cortisol, but low midnight

Cause of fluctuating Cortisol Results ?
Morning, Will try and condense the last 5 years of cortisol results, as thoroughly confused, cortisol Vs thyroid. Cortisol was tested under endo who I had been referred to in 2015 with regards my thyroid. In Aug 2015 my results show a level of 992 ( V high) with an ACDH of 8.79, not sure if the latter

Low cortisol level?
Hi all! I am currently on alternating 7/6mg prednisolone and rheumatologist wants me to reduce as much as possible, preferably coming down 1mg every 2 weeks. I have come down too fast/too low in the past and then had horrendous flares. I asked him for a blood test to check my cortisol levels as I was

Is it more likely this is just a case of adrenal fatigue or possible early addisons.
I’ve recently had a cortisol dhea saliva test which I performed throughout the day. The results have come back with normal dhea but with low cortisol readings at every reading but the first morning one which is just in range (I’ll post results). My understanding was that adrenal fatigue caused high cortisol

Frees at top of range - should I consider Levo decrease?
My last post discussed my blood results from 19 April. TSH. 0.01. (0.27-4.2) FT4. 24.9. (12-22) FT3. 6.5. (3.1-6.8) I am on 100 Levo. I said that I wasn’t sure my symptoms were thyroid related, especially as I feel much the same with my high frees as I did when

Low Cortisol Level
Hello, I'm looking for advice again please. A couple of weeks ago I saw a Rheumatologist for the first time at my local NHS hospital who I have to say was very thorough & helpful. I have to have several x-rays taken and an ultrasound of my shoulders & in addition to this I have had blood tests taken.

Appointment with endocrinologist
My GP referred me to an endocrinologist saying my cortisol levels are low. Had a telephone call with him yesterday. He said everyone taking pred has low cortisol levels and nothing to be done. However, he asked if I had some pred injections at home in case of severe sickness or an accident. I haven't

Low cortisol levels
My rheumatologist did some blood work today and found that I have low cortisol levels. In fact she said that it was very very low. I can't remember the number she gave me. I don't take prednisone any more and haven't taken it for quite a while. She's going to have a talk with an endocrinologist and get

Adrenavive alternatives?
Hi all, A bit of background... I’ve recently started taking Adrenavive to begin addressing issues with low cortisol. Have been taking it for about a month but have begun to experience what I recognise as symptoms of an autoimmune attack on my thyroid (dull ache in the front of my neck, lump in throat

I received my thyroid, prolactin and progesterone results from medichecks today. Tested at 08.30, fasting, stopped b supps 1 week before, finger prick test. I asked for prolactin as I’d read somewhere that elevated levels could be an indicator of a pituitary problem and I’ve a suspicion this might be

hpa/stress/adrenal issue or central hypthyroidismo? Is T4 right?
hello. I have posted before. I have low cortisol, low dhea, also low ferritin and a few other things. Low t3, low t4, normal TSH ( many results in link below) An NHS endo who i saw for lipids (they are sky-high too) has said we could try T4 for 6 months. Should I jump at that chance or try and stimulate

Cortisol test
Hi everyone, like most I am feeling very low due to current problems and inactivity. However, I find myself sinking to rock bottom as my ailments give me a bleak outlook. I am currently awaiting a neck and back operation, since July 2019, and am told that the surgery will only prevent further deterioration
