Cortisol blood test HIGH
I got my blood cortisol levels checked this week & the results came back today. Cortisol = 907.000 nmol/L Range (113 - 456) What does that mean & should I get further testing done? It seems very high.

Having to go off NDT after several years and back on levo only - how to explain it?
OK, so I went off NDT and back on T4 only a few weeks ago, after suffering bothersome symptoms for several months, such as profuse sweating (waking up every morning in a bed drenched in sweat), racing heart, high blood pressure (treated with perindopril 10 mg daily, GP wants to switch me to beta blockers

Low glucose, due to low cortisol?
I am low in Pred tapering between 1.25/0.625. My bloods are fine, taking them once a month, but my GP is concerned with the low level of glucose in my blood. Could it be due to low adrenal function? Anybody who knows anything about this? Often you tend to have high glucose due to long Pred treatment

T3 tolerance and low iron/b12/cortisol
Hi everyone, I have been on 5mcg of t3 alongside my 75mcg levo for just over a week (and 10mcg the week before) and it is clearly helping - I feel more aware, my constipation and reflux has improved and most importantly for me I have been able to reintroduce some solid food and up my calories from about

Bloods show low TSH AND T4 on NDT
Hi, I started Metavive II 6-7 months ago on advice of nutritionist who suggested 30mg. I raised every 2 weeks and settled on 5 caps a day. Had bloods tested without stopping Metavive and gynae was concerned at v low TSH, low normal T4. T3 was normal. I tested again after I stopped Metavive for 2 days

T3, cortisol tests and adrenal function
I started T3 8 weeks ago, initially 3 times a day but then changed to twice a day (8am and 8pm) as it seemed to be affecting my sleep. When I sleep ok, I don’t go to sleep until 3am and wake at 11.30am. Endo advised 15mcg but when I take that I get very interrupted sleep so I am currently taking 12.5

Help with my results
Hi all, I have had my results back from a recent check and before I have a follow up appointment I was hoping you might be able to advise me on what my optimal results should be (because most of them say I am "normal"/ within range). I should say, before I post results, that I have stopped taking Levo

Over-medicated or Having Low Cortisol on Thyroid-S?
I just started taking Thyroid-S after being hypothyroid for two months from a bad batch of NDT. Maybe I need to give Thyroid-S more time, or maybe I need to treat the adrenals first, but I thought I'd share my experience on it so far when I take 2.5 Grains. I used to take 2.5 Grains of WP, Nature-Throid

Low Cortisol - Synacthen Blood Test
Hello, With the above test (I am due to have next week) does it need to be taken first thing in the morning? I have previously had two standard blood tests at 9.00 am which has highlighted a low cortisol reading and so a follow-up synacthen test is now being taken by the GP practice. My appointment

Crazy high saliva cortisol results
I just got my saliva cortisol test results, and I'm surprised to say the least....I was expecting to see low cortisol, as last time I was tested I was super low (admittedly that was 3 years ago!) But I am well above the range at all 4 times! I'm off the top of the chart for the 2 morning readings. Could

Thyroid med increase and adrenal impact
Hi, 2 weeks ago I had an increase in my thyroid medications. I was on 5mcg T3 twice a day and 75mcg Levothyroxine. Increased to 5mcg T3 three times a day and remain on 75mcg Levothyroxine The reason for my increase is that 4 weeks ago I decided to join a local gym to get fitter as last year I was housebound

Blood cortisol testing
Is there a specific time during a woman’s monthly cycle when it’s better test cortisol levels or does it not matter? X

Increasing activity. Do I need to increase T3 medication.
I have Hashimotos for 12 years and last year very low cortisol. I now take 5mcg Liothyronine T3 twice a day after finally being diagnosed as a poor converter, after 11 years just on Levothyroxine. Plus I now take 75mcg daily. My thyroid and cortisol are now in a good position after as I was very unwell

Further tests
Hello, I am in the process of having further tests, one of which is for low cortisol and so an ACTH test is scheduled? Is it common for such a test to be given at a GP practice as I thought this was done by the endocrinologist? Or perhaps this test is done locally for then referral (if necessary)?

Help on T3 mono, 1st blood results
I have been on T3 mono about 12 weeks now which I slowly built up to 50mcgs T3and these were the 1st bloods, they took temp BP and pulse at same time bloods were taken, which to me they dont really add up. I had sub thyroidectomy years ago so looks like I still have some thyroid left looking at T4 I

Is Low Reverse T3 good?
Hi, I've just had Reverse T3 tested for the first time. Thought it would be useful to check as my TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 have been low since I started testing in April 2019. I started on 50mg Levothyroxine for a few months and recently changed to Erfa (30mg) and Levothyroxine (25mg) as per endocrinologist
