What a laugh! Any one else been badly treated?
So after some 20 years of jumping through the NHS hoops to get a diagnosis and being badly let down, then going private to find that I did have limes disease and anaemia that the doctors didn't pick up from my tests. CD 57 range is 130 to 300 my results were -11! That's another story!! Last September

adrenal support after weaning off Medrol
I recently order this product after weaning off Medrol (4 mg daily) which I took for almost five years for adrenal fatigue: https://www.pureformulas.com/pure-adrenal-400-60-capsules-by-professional-formulas.html The reason I ordered this supplement was 1. I don't feel optimal yet (tend to feel tired

Adrenal Test - Convincing Myself
I've been mulling over whether I want or need to test my adrenal glands (via the synacthen/ACTH test) , having reached the 7mg Pred dosage level I consider myself fortunate, as although having had my share of hiccups along the way, I've reached this point in the manner and time I had planned. I've

Cover ups by NHS
I put some posts on some time ago re my daughter and the unethical treatment she received. This is an update of how far drs will go to cover up previous medical negligence and some of the previous 'treatment' she received. 1) manipulation of the facts by drs to 'explain' their own lack of investigation

Prostate Cancer & Hormones - Cortisol
Cortisol is known as the stress hormone. Wiki: "It is released in response to stress and low blood-glucose concentration. It functions to increase blood sugar through gluconeogenesis, to suppress the immune system ... It also decreases bone formation." [1] "Diurnal cycles of cortisol levels are found

Former post with new numbers: I am a 32 yr old female who has had a rough two and a half years, but before that I had been pretty okay except always had female problems. In November 2014, I was diagnosed with fibro (had hysterectomy, kept ovaries). Since then, it's been carpal tunnel and arthritis

Cross!
After a positive experience with the Endo, it was back to the GP for the results of the tests he ordered. I booked in with my usual GP but arrived to find she had swapped clinics with a different doctor (who I don't rate - would have cancelled the appt if I had known!). My normal GP had told me she

Hi all!
Hi there. I'm hoping I've found the right place to help me make sense of life at the moment! Boring history bit I've had an underactive thyroid since 2000ish, medicated since 2004. In the past few years my weight and emotions have become uncontrollable and my energy levels are now so low I passed out

Results and T3
Hi, I wonder if someone could advise me on my results Serum cortisol 377 nmol/L (171-536) FT3 4.2 pmol/L (3.1-6.8) FT4 19.7 pmol/L (12-22) TSH 2.21 mIU/L (0.27-4.2) These have all been deemed normal and no action by GP, T4 to be checked in 8 weeks to ensure I do not go overactive. I had a thyroidectomy

Supplements to reduce antibodies?
Can anyone suggest supplements that may help me in getting my antibodies down. I am following the Paleo diet and have seen various integrative GP's, but each one has given me a different list of supplements to take. (I am not happy about taking too many supplements!) I'm now feeling a bit confused

would appreciate input on latest lab results
I'd really appreciate some input on my latest labs. I have been on Thyroid-S from Thailand for the past few months, as that is much cheaper than Erfa, Armour etc. I like Thyroid-S, and have felt good on it, although I find it rather weak (possibly because of all the fillers, including cellulose), which

Primary vs. Secondary Addison's Disease
Hey guys, Does anyone have any experience with Addison's? I went to the Endo a while back for a bunch of weird symptoms. My doctor confirmed Hashimoto's but my thyroid is still in range, so she won't/can't medicate me. However, she did test my cortisol and it came back low. I went in for another blood

Can 2017 be the year when we ban the use of the phrase 'adrenal fatigue' .......please.
Thyroid Uk provides members with well considered and knowledgable guidance and support. I have depended on it many times and feel very much part of the community here. I feel our integrity and intelligence is in question when the phrase 'adrenal fatigue' continues to be used in relation to thyroid

Hopefully useful observations from first endo meeting
Hi All - thought those with test results similar to mine, horrible symptoms / feel like you're dying, but experiencing non-interest / treatment from their GP, may find my experience today at the endo useful. - my TSH looks 'normal' but my fT4 and fT3 are right at the bottom of the range: TSH 0.91 (0.27
