Cortisol results. Any opinions welcome.
Hello, I'm new to this site and as far as I know I don't have a thyroid problem, although tsh has moved from 0.28 up to 1.4 recently. Not sure if that is significant win any way. I wondered if anyone could give me any thoughts on my cortisol results. I wasn't sure where to post them, hope no-one minds

Possible low adrenal function
Hi all, I was diagnosed hypothyroid (Hashimotos) just under a year ago. I'm now taking 100mcg of levothyroxine per day, the most my doctor will allow based on my blood tests. I am strictly gluten-free and also avoiding cows dairy and nightshades, tea and coffee, chocolate and avocado (the last are migraine

Tiromel problems?
Good morning. Has anyone found Tiromel by Abdi Ibrahim to be weak lately? I opened a new batch this week and had to double my dose. I was out shopping and suddenly felt tired. I had felt tired for a few days but had attributed it to the usual suspects, low iron, low cortisol, low vit b12. And sent for

Dr Nicola Hembry - has anyone used this doctor?
Hi - I'm in Bristol and am thinking about seeing Dr Hembry. Has anyone seen her / can recommend please? It seems frighteningly expensive - but im not feeling confident with advice from gp. Also think my symptoms are probably connected and it needs someone to look at the whole picture. I'm 61, been

Low cortisol possibility?
Hi all I won't bore you with my history but I have been around the houses a bit with drs unsure what's wrong. I have many symptoms similar to hypothyroid, M.E, fibromyalgia and been tested for most things but still everything is 'fine'. Latest involved a visit to the rheumatologists who again checked

What a laugh! Any one else been badly treated?
So after some 20 years of jumping through the NHS hoops to get a diagnosis and being badly let down, then going private to find that I did have limes disease and anaemia that the doctors didn't pick up from my tests. CD 57 range is 130 to 300 my results were -11! That's another story!! Last September

I recently order this product after weaning off Medrol (4 mg daily) which I took for almost five years for adrenal fatigue: https://www.pureformulas.com/pure-adrenal-400-60-capsules-by-professional-formulas.html The reason I ordered this supplement was 1.

Adrenal Test - Convincing Myself

Pain worse at night
I've had IBS for 20+ years and have been dealing with a flare up now for two months. Went to my doctor and she ordered an EGD to rule out ulcer. Nothing was found, which is good, but still having bowel issues. Pain is worse at night just like I've been reading other posts on here. Usually taking

Cover ups by NHS
I put some posts on some time ago re my daughter and the unethical treatment she received. This is an update of how far drs will go to cover up previous medical negligence and some of the previous 'treatment' she received. 1) manipulation of the facts by drs to 'explain' their own lack of investigation

Cross!
After a positive experience with the Endo, it was back to the GP for the results of the tests he ordered. I booked in with my usual GP but arrived to find she had swapped clinics with a different doctor (who I don't rate - would have cancelled the appt if I had known!). My normal GP had told me she
