Not sure where to start with husbands results, help please!
Hello, my husband has done some testing recently with Thriva and also regenerus cortisol. He is basically exhausted and unable to function normally. Clearly he has low cortisol but his DHEA is high which seems odd. Also, his FT4 is lowish at 29% through range and FT3 at 51% through range. His cholesterol

Are you able to take Levothyroxine with Low cortisol?
Are you able to take ANY Levothyroxine with Low cortisol while the low cortisol reason is still being investigated? I may just be impatient (I am), but I want to feel better and waiting for the Endo referral will be stressful as I’m sure appts may take weeks and weeks… I was wondering if it’s some to

GP fail - ignoring NICE guidelines
Be prepared… A rant it’s on its way to you. Sorry 🙊 I finally managed to see a GP and “discuss” my blood test results. I went in armed with the following print outs - Last 4TSH results spanning over a year (all at least 3 months apart) - Hypothyroidism symptoms checklist - NICE guidelines on Subclinical

What are the essential things to do before I start T3 ?
Hi everybody! I hope you can advise. I am hoping to try T3 very soon and have been reading one of Paul Robinsons books and trying to prepare. He strongly recommends having a saliva cortisol test and also an 8am morning cortisol blood test before starting T3 medication. So I was hoping if you could

DHEA/Cortisol Ratio is Low
I recently had serum, saliva and urine tests to confirm an elevated cortisol diurnal. My ACTH has been elevated for the past 6 months and it has thrown me off w/thyroid meds (Synthroid). I was on 75, then on 50, now on 62.5 consistently for 8+ weeks. I really don't know what's happening with the ACTH

Starting investigation - Blood Test queries..
Hi! After my first post I managed to speak to a GP and mentioned to them that my most recent TSH was elevated (5.63) along with other stuff and he agreed that at the least I have subclinical hypothyroidism and agreed to do more bloods including a cortisol test to check for Cushings due to my symptoms

Cortisol tests
Hi everyone! Haven't done yet cortisol saliva this year. But made others at first. Are there optimal levels for morning blood cortisol? My test came back 16,2 mcg/dl with range 4,30-22,40 (8am). And 24-hour urine test 149,4 (58-403). Other tests of ACTH and aldosterone are still to come.

Cortisol question with severe hypo

Adrenal support
I wonder if someone could advise on how best to support my system. We had a couple of stressful weeks, nothing major, just general life really. We came away and I've spent 2 days feeling nauseated, dizzy, and exhausted. I'm starting to pick up about now but this has happened every time I have to manage
