1st Endo Consultation.
I had my 1st endo consult today by phone. She was lovely, a little concerned that my cortisol was low and has asked for a 9am blood cortisol along with thyroid, ferritin and vits d&b to be re-tested. Is this the usual way to proceed?

New results with antibody Test - could someone help
I’ve had a re-Test of thyroid as I’ve had on-going problems with feeling unwell. Could someone please give me an opinion. I also have low cortisol and very low DHEA. Many thanks.

Feel weak after eating and drinking
Something I’ve noticed increasing over the past few months is a feeling of extreme weakness and exhaustion after eating and drinking. When I wake I feel relatively ok, after breakfast I’d be happy to return to bed or just stare at the wall for the rest of the day. I’ve discovered I have low cortisol

High cortisol and levothyroxine increase
I’m a little lost in yesterday’s thread and not sure if I missed some answers. I thought I’d do a new one and include a more close up picture but I can’t attach two pictures it seems. I will also address cushings: I do not have any symptoms of cushings. I have not gained weight. In fact I’ve lost weight

Saliva cortisol test results please help
Need help please. Cortisol test results. I am really shocked tbh. I thought my cortisol would be on the floor with how I’ve been feeling lately. I don’t have any stressors I can currently remove. This is against a background of upping levothyroxine to 100ug over three months ago. Then a few weeks ago

Cortisol fluctuations on raising thyroid meds
Hello! I have a quick question on changes when you raise thyroid meds. I know that when you increase levo or t3, cortisol goes up and many recover from low cortisol symptoms. My situation is, I change my dose, I sleep okay the first few weeks, then week 3 or 4 I can't fall asleep, my heart is pounding

Raising TSH and low Cortisol
Hi everyone. I hope you are all keeping safe with the current situation. I am under the endo now but slow going. Yesterdays bloods TSH 7.3 ref (0.35- 4.7) and T4 9.5 ref (7.8-21.0). They also took cortisol 251 (200-700) and prolactin 220 (70.0-550.0) as they wanted to rule out Addisons. These bloods

Pooling and cortisol
Hi. Did anyone experience pooling T3? Was it due to high or low cortisol? How did you level your cortisol? I heard that magnesium is good for it. I believe I'm pooling T3. My level in the blood is over range, but I don't think it's going to the cells as I'm not feeling slightly better for the moment
