Buying T3 or NDT on line
Hi all I joined Health Unlocked 2 years ago. I will be 60 in a few weeks time.

Low cortisol and TSH
Hi everyone. This is my first post as I have felt too unwell to go into it all until now. I'm afraid it is quite a saga but here goes... In November last year I started feeling really unwell and getting fevers all the time. The fevers have now gone. I now get a stinging pain going through my back, abdomen

Very concerned about thyroid lab results
I'm sorry if this post is long but I have been having a fight with my GP for a long time. I was diagnosed with hypo around 15 years ago as I was feeling extremely tired and weak. I suspected hypo as my mother had it. I had also been diagnosed 5 years earlier with severe depression and advised after

Advice on blood test results
Advice would be gratefully received. I'm recently diagnosed Hypothyroid. I've been taking 0.25 of Levothyroxine for 8 weeks and feel much better. I'm also taking 1 capsule of Veg EPA E-EPA 70% and 1 capsule of nutri advanced AdrenoMax, following a gluten free diet and 20 days in on Bionutri ecobalance

Cortisol test advice wanted
Hi, I have a cortisol blood test booked for Wednesday morning and the GP has prescribed a low dose of dexamethasone to be taken at midnight before the test. Apparently this will avoid any stressors in the morning affecting my result. He mentioned this as a test for Cushing's which I think is high cortisol

Cortisol results
I've been feeling fatigued this year, there has been a lot of stressful events happen and I suspect adrenal and or thyroid. My even more recent 24 hr saliva profile via Regenerus labs shows, I'm barely producing cortisol and dhea is very high. They have reported n/mol, but I suspect they mean ng/l, based

Thyroid T3 low
Hi, I have a few questions related to under active thyroid and high cortisol. My T3 is low 4.2 (range is 3.1-6.8) and gp recognised this fact. My serum cortisol and salivary cortisol is high and I have read,I believe, on STTM that if cortisol and iron is not optimal then using T3 or NDT is not advised

FREE T3 Result
Just got my Free T3 result from Medicheck which states 'within normal range' Be grateful of some feedback on my results please. Does anyone think that a small amount of T3 might help to get me feeling back to normal? I'm almost housebound with my symptoms ie fatigue, weakness etc. Free T3 3.66 pmo1

Could these cortisol results cause problems taking thyroid meds?
Hello I've been trying for a few years to get my health sorted: fatigue, hairloss, the usual suspects, including intransgient weight gain. My most recent tests showed high leptin and high fasting insulin (way over what they should be) so I have switched to a no-sugar, almost zero (once a week curry)

Adrenal fatigue help please !
Hello everyone , I've recently had the saliva adrenal test done, and the picture doesn't look good. So I would really appreciate some encouraging comments from you amazing people who've also struggled ? I am feeling so fatigued, very low, lack of concentration and almost tearful at times. Plus rubbish

having a low day. Need to let it out
Having a bad morning. Anxiety sits in the pit of my stomach sometimes my brain feels like it's on fire. I have a fear of death. But more the fear of how I feel when I fear death if that makes sense. I just can't feel like I belong here in this life anymore. Like life is like some strange phenomenon.
