Advice on blood test results
Advice would be gratefully received. I'm recently diagnosed Hypothyroid. I've been taking 0.25 of Levothyroxine for 8 weeks and feel much better. I'm also taking 1 capsule of Veg EPA E-EPA 70% and 1 capsule of nutri advanced AdrenoMax, following a gluten free diet and 20 days in on Bionutri ecobalance

Cortisol test advice wanted
Hi, I have a cortisol blood test booked for Wednesday morning and the GP has prescribed a low dose of dexamethasone to be taken at midnight before the test. Apparently this will avoid any stressors in the morning affecting my result. He mentioned this as a test for Cushing's which I think is high cortisol

Cortisol results
I've been feeling fatigued this year, there has been a lot of stressful events happen and I suspect adrenal and or thyroid. My even more recent 24 hr saliva profile via Regenerus labs shows, I'm barely producing cortisol and dhea is very high. They have reported n/mol, but I suspect they mean ng/l, based

Thyroid T3 low
Hi, I have a few questions related to under active thyroid and high cortisol. My T3 is low 4.2 (range is 3.1-6.8) and gp recognised this fact. My serum cortisol and salivary cortisol is high and I have read,I believe, on STTM that if cortisol and iron is not optimal then using T3 or NDT is not advised

FREE T3 Result
Just got my Free T3 result from Medicheck which states 'within normal range' Be grateful of some feedback on my results please. Does anyone think that a small amount of T3 might help to get me feeling back to normal? I'm almost housebound with my symptoms ie fatigue, weakness etc. Free T3 3.66 pmo1

"Don't get fixated over the numbers!" Grrrr
Hi Guys. Sorry to 'ranty' post, but I need to sound off to others who will understand my irritation. I have just got back from my blood test review with the GP who told me (suprise!) that my results were all 'in range' TSH 2.6 (0.34-5.6) was 2.68 at end of June T4 11.2 (7.5-21.1) was 12.1 at end of

Could these cortisol results cause problems taking thyroid meds?
Hello I've been trying for a few years to get my health sorted: fatigue, hairloss, the usual suspects, including intransgient weight gain. My most recent tests showed high leptin and high fasting insulin (way over what they should be) so I have switched to a no-sugar, almost zero (once a week curry)

Adrenal fatigue help please !
Hello everyone , I've recently had the saliva adrenal test done, and the picture doesn't look good. So I would really appreciate some encouraging comments from you amazing people who've also struggled ? I am feeling so fatigued, very low, lack of concentration and almost tearful at times. Plus rubbish

having a low day. Need to let it out
Having a bad morning. Anxiety sits in the pit of my stomach sometimes my brain feels like it's on fire. I have a fear of death. But more the fear of how I feel when I fear death if that makes sense. I just can't feel like I belong here in this life anymore. Like life is like some strange phenomenon.

What do you think of this facial redness in my photo?
I have other photos that I would like an opinion on if it looks like a butterfly rash. I have many symptoms of lupus but I also have thyroid disease that caused me to have my thyroid removed. I have low cortisol, migraines, complex partial seizures, terrible exhaustion, bruising, hair falling out,

I finally got my recent blood results (including T3) and got to see my GP. He said all my results are normal, including my thyroid results and B12. The only problem he can see is high serum osmolality and he will refer me to endocrinologist to check for diabetes insipidus – very rare disease affecting

Immune dysfunction
I don't see many people talking about their immune issues with their hypothyroid problems so I am never entirely sure how much my immune issues ARE down to the thyroid. I have repeated problems with what feel like a kind of cold virus but it rarely comes out into a full blown cold. I feel very tired

Private Endocrinologist
Hi everyone. Please can someone help, I feel like I'm at my wits end with all this now and don't know what to do next.

Help please! Adrenal fatigue?!? Addison?!?
two months ago I've found ACTH (and Ferritin) marginally over max limit while blood cortisol normal. Salivary cortisol was normal, though on the low side for the day Urinary cortisol 24h average was normal, so is blood cortisol taken this week but ACTH increased even more. What could this be? Addison
