I’m wondering if you know how low your cortisol had dropped to before you started working with Dr. Hughes to get it up. I’m planning on following your treatment with Dr Hughes, assuming it’s not a conflict with present doc. I’m at 1.9 on last cortisol level test. I’m on 9 mgs. Prednisone now.

Cortisol results: Low at 3 out of 4 readings.
Hi all, I’ve attached an image of my Crotisol + DHEA results that I received yesterday. Looks like I have low cortisol at 3 out of 4 times during the day. Could you please have a look at these and advise how to sort it out? From what I quickly read about it last night, adaptogen herbs may not be enough

DHEA test results, advice please
Done by NHS DHEA 2.3 (2.7 - 7.5) Is this bad? Does it mean Addison's? I had private adrenal tests done twice, 1 showing low cortisol, another showing high cortisol so seemingly recovered. I don't know where my body is right now. Thank you

Hydrocortisone and pain.
Five days on the hydrocortisone. Was on the prednisone since May and when cortisol test of last month read 3.1 my rheumatologist sent me to endocrinologist. Endocrinologist has me on 20 mgs hydrocortisone which is equivalent to 5 mgs prednisone. I’m eating very little and gaining a half lb daily and

Non-NHS options to treating subclinical hypothyroidism?
Hi, after pushing my GP last week, they are still "very deaf" to my thyroid/antibodies and the saliva cortisol test - see below; NHS 9am serum cortisol was 309 in 2017 (compared to 376 in 2015 by Blue Horizons!). Blue Horizon Autumn 2017 Thyroid panel indicates ineffecient T4-T3 conversion: Folate (

Very low cortisol.
I had a cortisol test yesterday and I came back at 4. Rheumatologist is trying to get a consult with endocrinologist for me. She said the endocrinologist would put me on hydrocortisone but she could not do that herself. Rheumatologist said to up my 5 mgs prednisone. Add another 5 mgs tonight. Then

Since then I've done three blood tests and while my Free T3 and Free T4 levels were mid range in all of them my TSH came back

New here
I'm 24 years old and female. I feel so muddled about what to do at the moment. I have so many symptoms and undergone so many tests. My TSH has jumped from 5.6 (0.2 - 4.2) to 2.2 (0.2 - 4.2) within 2 months, then 0.02 (0.2 - 4.2) to 5.44 (0.2 - 4.2) within 4 weeks! Vitamins and minerals I have been told

Help! Best Private Functional Adrenal Dr UK :-)
I would really appreciate any PM's with recommendations of good private functional Dr's anywhere in the UK. It seems like such a minefield! I'm so desperate as I'm currently housebound due to low cortisol, Iron, Vitamin D and Zinc. I would love some support to get me out of this pickle! I don't really

Lots more tests following endo appointment
I posted a few days ago for a bit of advice due to persistent low cortisol and being very symptomatic despite really good thyroid results and vitamin levels. I saw the endocrinologist at the Liverpool royal and I have to say she was fantastic! I was in there for about 45 minuets so apologies if you were

Serum Cortisol Test Result Help
Hi to everyone I'd be grateful if someone can interpret this test result I've just had done? Possibly another piece of the jigsaw! Serum CORTISOL 213 nmol/L [185.0 - 624.0] tested at 9.30am I can't afford the private Saliva one just yet. Thanks SallyB

Saliva Test Results - Potentially Low Cortisol?
All, I wonder what you would say about these saliva cortisol results? My AM cortisol looks ok, but then it goes downhill after that and each result is borderline low. Would you treat this with hydrocortisone? I plan to ask my holistic doctor on Tuesday but was curious as to your responses. Thank
