Serum cortisol result is mine normal?
For a year I've been suffering a number of symptoms & I am sure it's something to do with my hormones although all my bloods are coming back normal. My blood was tested for cortisol at around 10am and came back at 181nmol. Is this within normal range? Online ranges are not clear and confusing. The NHS

Cortisol results, how does this fit with potential secondary hypothyroidism?
Hi, I've posted a couple of times before but have just got the results of my 24 hr saliva test. I've been struggling for a few years with a variety of symptoms, posted on here and the general consensus is secondary hypothyroidism as TSH = .35, t4 = 12.4 as well as low ferritin, folate, vit B12, vitD

Adrenal support for high cortisol?
Can anyone tell me if it would be appropriate to take Adrenavive (or a similar product) if you have high afternoon and evening cortisol – or is this kind of adrenal support only appropriate if you have low cortisol? I have been trying to lower my cortisol for over a year now. Unfortunately adaptogens

Dr Skinner and prednisolone
I have just been reading Dr Skinner's bk 'Diagnosis and Management of Hypothyroidism'. In dealing with low cortisol levels he prefers prednisolone over hydrocortisone as it 'covers the mineralocorticoid as well as the glucocorticoid functions' Has anyone had any expedience of using prednisolone for low

Crippling muscular pain - why?
I have had this on and off for a few years but now it is just so bad. If I exhurt myself - take a short walk or maybe do the supermarket weekly shop I find my feet, legs, thighs, arms crippled with pain. Muscular pain. As though I had run a marathon. It's now everyday. Without fail. It renders me helpless

Some B12 and Cortisol help please
I have been very ill, bed bound for the last month. Two trips to A&E with very fast irregular heart beat of 149 bpm. They did tracings but it had calm down and gone to normal by then. I have now developed POTS like symptoms especially bad when getting out of bed in the mornings. Low blood sugar episodes

latest labs,please
Hi everyone,I hope you're all doing good. Can you please comment on my labs? Is that anemia that I'm seeing in the results or I'm not interpreting correctly?Also,scan revealed two nodules,sized 0.20 & 0.23 cm, one on each lobe. Should I have a biopsy?Do nodules affect adrenal function,as mine is already

Mystery illness
Doctors don't know what is wrong with me which has left me with no option but to try and find out for myself. I've been unwell and very run down for years but in the past year my health has really deteriorated and the symptoms have become very debilitating. Symptoms Pins & needles in my hands, feet
