Cortisol causing havoc……… and I don't seem to be able to see my consultant, and my GP won't treat me as she wants me to see the consultant!
Hi, I am looking for some help from people who no doubt have suffered from low cortisol levels at some point. To keep my story short (you can read my previous posts for a more in depth view) I collapsed in May 2013. At first it was diagnosed as a lupus flare but then that was thrown out as my inflammation

Cortisol levels
Any ideas, people? After years of saying to anyone who would listen that I thought there was more going on than just being hypothyroid, I saw Dr O and he suggested Adrenal Fatigue. When my saliva test results came back from Genova instead of low cortisol its high - in fact about twice the top of

Hashi's & Adrenal Issues
Hi all, i'm really struggling at the minute. I have diagnosed Hashimotos and very low cortisol (tested by Genova) my question is how do you get the NHS to listen to you??? Everytime I have my thyroid meds raised I end up really ill & they end up dropping them back down again. Its awful and takes me months

Myxedema
Me again....complaining about my myxedema and WHY it is not shifting. I recently saw a friend and they commented "wow, you look so different". Not a good sign. I am on 270 mcg T3 only now for five months. I thought perhaps it was not being absorbed so I tested RT3 and free T3 and of course T3 is high

T3 or not T3? Anyone more successful on this in comparison to NDT?
Have decided to put up all my bloods over the past 2 years (relevant ones) plus my adrenal test which was done in 2012 (as attachment). The reason being that I had RT3 done recently and I have posted that result and had help (thank you Shaws, Faith and Heloise) :) . But I'm still utterly confused as

Does Cortisol help to push T3 into cells?
I believe high cortisol impairs NDT effectiveness. I believe I have low cortisol during the day and high in the evening and at night. Due to a particularly stressfull period I started taking half a capsule of Seriphos a day but I just read that cortisol helps push T3 into the cells.

Hypo with hot flashes...
Does anyone suffer from this? I'm post menopausal and my core temperature is still around 36.3, but I have an inability to deal with heat. I had it last summer too. When I exert myself or get hot, I have a ridiculously over the top response and the sweat pours off me. Nice huh?! I'm on 37.5 mcg T3 and

Worried that my nurse gave me the wrong information/didn't inform me correctly?
my period to do it's thing for a bit and then carry on as normal, taking the pill (I'm assuming she swapped me to
Levest
because it doesn't have the 7 placebo tablets like Microgynon, so therefore less confusing for me).
