Am I pregnant even though I religiously take the pill?
I am on the
levest
pill with the 7 day break, last months packet I began to bleed heavily 2 days before my last pill in the pack, where as I normally only bleed two/three days after I stop taking it, I have started a new pack after my week break I’m two days into taking it.

Adrenal glandulars
So I got my first ever bovine adrenal cortex (BSE-free) supplement delivered today in the post and took half a capsule (125mg) just before. FYI, I did a private 8.30am serum cortisol test via Medichecks recently: 323 nmol/l (133 - 537). That was a finger prick blood sample, so not the most accurate

Levest
as I'm trying to work out if it is
Levest
that is heightening my anxiety or if it is anything else.

My proof that Stress gives Hashi Flare + Low Cortisol
I had considered myself 'more or less' healed earlier this year, after 36 years or so of feeling utterly revolting. Then I had to move - vile millionaire landlord gave me notice after 8 years and I had to move within 6 weeks. So, decorating & scrubbing house to get my full deposit back. Then I managed

Should I persevere with NDT or trial T3 monotherapy?
Hi, I have been self treating with NDT for 17 months. I increased my dose very gradually up to 3.25 grains. There were slight improvements in my energy and brain fog initially but I have not seen the improvement that I need to allow me to function or have a quality of life. I am considering a trial of

Anxiety and depression
Has anyone developed panic attacks and depression when they have got down to 6mg. Lovely doc has given me lorazapam which really helps. My problem is do I continue reducing .....using the very slow method or stay as I am for a few more weeks. Could the depression and panic attacks be caused by low cortisol

Synacthen test and supplements
Hi I’ve got Hashimotos and seeing an endo next month due to low cortisol. My GP said he’ll do the synacthen test (I’ve only had the 9am blood test). I’m currently taking Levo, vitamin D, K, B complex, C, magnesium and selenium. Does anyone know if I need to drop these supplements (minus the levo), for

Whiplash causing Hypothyroid and Adrenal Fatigue
I am curious to know if anyone has developed thyroid or adrenal issues following a car accident. I walked away from 2 shunts at 70mph with whiplash. I have seen chiropractor physio acupuncturist and kinesiologist to heal rather than pain meds. I have low cortisol levels - adrenal fatigue and have 80%

I’m wondering if you know how low your cortisol had dropped to before you started working with Dr. Hughes to get it up. I’m planning on following your treatment with Dr Hughes, assuming it’s not a conflict with present doc. I’m at 1.9 on last cortisol level test. I’m on 9 mgs. Prednisone now.
