T3 or NDT with poor adrenals?
Just to recap. TT 18months ago. Levo till April this year and straight onto T3 only, after returning a poor conversion of t4 to t3. Having adrenaline rushes which I believe are due to low cortisol (haven't tested yet as I'm on Hyrocortisone for another 2 1/2 weeks) . Was unable to get past 15mcgs of

Unfortunately my endo

Myasthenia Gravis with hypothyroidism.
I have recently been quite unwell. My limbs are so weak I cannot walk far. Sometimes it’s hard to sit up or hold a knife and fork eating my food. I have hypothyroidism for 11years now and low cortisol recently. Each time I take my Levothyroxine within 2 hours my weakness gets much worse. I’m waiting

Reassurance on recent saliva cortisol results ?
Hy all have no one else to bounce thoughts off and have posted before and still digging for answers to the root of my ongoing 'fading away'! Previous thoughts re thyroid results were possible central hypothyroidism so maybe I'm on the right track? Had this private saliva cortisol test in June and

Advice on blood results pls
Further to my previous post I had my bloods done re: possible adrenal issues / anxiety poor coping mechanisms with stress. The results are below.

Levothyroxine and hydrocortisone
Hi. I have low cortisol lately. 68. I’ve been on Levothyroxine for 11 years and suddenly this year each time I take it my cortisol drops significantly causing so much weakness I can’t sit up or walk. I’ve been prescribed hydrocortisone but it s more like a sedative for me. It doesn’t pick me up. Has

CT3M Hand Book By Paul Robinson
Is the CT3M hand book only for people who have low cortisol problems? Can it be used for low DHEA?

Circadian T3 Method
I know the circadian T3 method can be used to increase low cortisol levels. Can the circadian T3 method be used to increase DHEA? Have been on DHEA for 4 months not getting on very well with it. Your comments would be appreciated.

Cyclical symptoms
Ok so I know I have low cortisol and I’m supplementing all my bits and mins (ferritin is still low but “within range”!) everything else is ok but not great. My hormone levels were tested earlier in the year and I was told they were fine (this is the only thing I don’t have copies of the results for).

General help and advice on sorting my thyroid
Hi all, I'm going to try to keep this short but the story is a bit long and complicated. You can see more in my profile but at this moment I would like to see whether a trial of T4 would help me. I have very little energy and lots of pain walking up stairs/hills especially. I guess I've had that

Feeling weak first thing in the morning.
Hi everyone. I’m GCA and now down to 5mg Pred ( been at 5mg for the last month)....18 months since diagnosis. I feel pretty good most of the time but the last week or so I’ve been feeling weak when I get up in the morning. It doesn’t last...10 minutes or so at its worst and then I just feel a bit slow

I am looking for recommendations for a doctor in Glasgow - or surrounding areas. I have a diagnosis of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) aka early menopause at 21 now 44 and Hashimoto's last year. I recently found out I have low cortisol. I felt great taking HRT (Livial) for years but became intolerant
