Good afternoon I'm very new to this site and was wondering if I could possibly get some help with my test results? I am exhausted, physically and mentally - the slightest bit of exercise almost kills me and my ankles swell just from going out for a walk! Like everyone I am struggling with my weight,

Hypothyroid: High cortisol tests, cannot explain, but coincide with high thyroid labs, on new NDT brand this year
Originally, almost 2 years ago, I was diagnosed hypothyroid and had low hormones right across the board, including low cortisol all day. Recently, after some time stable and optimal, my thyroid FT3 and FT4 were over range, so I have been reducing my WP Thyroid which I started this year. I just did saliva

Is it anxiety, certain deficiencies, an illness or something completely else..?
Hello everyone, for the past few days I've been googling, visiting doctors and doing checkups and I am already SO fed up. Every single day I am like this - so tired I can't even sit up at times, dizzy, depersonalized, derealised, confused. I visited my doctor two days ago - she was sarcastic and nasty

Adrenal questions
Help on lab results. I have finally gotten my thyroid under control but I'm still having some ackward symptoms. Due to adrenals I'm sure. My saliva test confirms that I have low cortisol and my temps are still marginally low. My labs are as follows. Morning 5.4 range .9 to 9.5 Noon .73 range .6

Type of anxiety
Can anyone identify my type of anxiety. Basically if I do anything physical and strenuous that puts my body under stress I get anxiety. My anxiety is brought on by physical exertion. I'm unable to find the route cause of this anxiety. I have low cortisol and adrenal fatigue but treating this condition

Severe Depression with TSH at 4.02
I am so grateful for the posts this week helping with my own hypothyroidism diagnosis. I have also been caring for my poor dad who has had severe depression/anxiety for almost 2 years now. This followed prostate cancer scares and almost losing him to a hospital bug 3 years ago so he has had a rough

Serum cortisol result anyone understand these results?
Hi,I had my first endo appointment two weeks ago. She tested my cortisol and said she could guarantee it would be low and that I had adrenal fatigue. I have just had my results but I don't know what they mean as I don't go back for three months. Does this mean I am ok? Thanks

Cortisol trsting
Hi could someone tell me the best way to privately tests cortisol binding globulin levels please? I want blood tests done (not saliva) that will tell me my cortisol plus the cbg levels because I'm suspecting my symptoms of low cortisol are caused by high cbg levels prob caused by high estrogen.

Can anyone help interpret results of a Metypirone test?
My adrenal function has been sluggish with cortisol levels taking almost one year to return to the "normal" range, albeit the lower end of normal. My endo decided to further evaluate the HPA axis. Last week, I was given 3000 of Metypirone at midnight to block adrenal function. At 07:30 the following

Blood results advice needed
I have been having hypothyroid symptoms for a year, including weight gain, slow heart rate, tiredness and constipation, to name but a few ! I had blood tests last year due to a missed period which showed Prolactin 850 (range 109-557). TSH 1.85 (range 0.35-5.0). I invested in private bloods in May as

Adrenal Stress results - high cortisol. Noooooo!

Understanding blood test results
Hi all. After 15 years on levo and constantly suffering from fatigue etc I have pretty much demanded an endo referral. My GP ran some blood tests last week and has sent off the referral. The surgery receptionist has printed off the results for me today. Slightly mystified that there are no thyroid results

PMR returns?
Hi, I developed classic PMR symptoms about a year ago, but with normal blood tests it took a while for my GP to prescribe 15mg pred last October which worked immediately. Rheumy said he couldnt really help until I came off the pred to see what was going on so I tapered off from 15mg to 0 between Jan

My latest test results, dont understand what is going on :(
Now I am borderline for Hashimoto based on TPOab, my TT4 keeps dropping which means I am not producing enough to make T4 and T3, only TSH remains normal. Between these tests on January 2015 I had blood taken on local private clinic when my TSH was 2.3 same range, T4 17(range 10-21) and T3 5.9 (range

rT3 dominance?
I have been wondering lately if I could be suffering from rT3 dominance. I have read that a lot of things can cause rT3 pooling: low cortisol (I have been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue), blood sugar issues, vitamin and mineral deficiencies... I know some labs offer rT3 testing, but they seem few and
