Adrenaline Rushes and Pituitary
Hello friends, I posted before about my adrenaline rushes during my sleep. I have a low tsh (suppressed <0.3) due to pituitary dysfunction. I took levothyroxine and it helped me a lot but still experiencing these rushes almost every night. Is it possible that my body experiences low cortisol during

Responding poorly to cortisol therapy/hydrocortisone
An adrenal test taken a few months ago indicated moderately low cortisol output throughout the day, however my symptoms have been relatively bad. I wake up groggy and tired, get hypoglycemic reactions after a high protein breakfast, cannot exercise, I have rapidly gained weight and my cognition is impaired

interesting article on low cortisol and what to do about it
I found this article about low cortisol both interesting and unconventional, in that it advocates high doses of HC (40-60 mg daily) in persons taking DHEA and thyroid hormone. I have read about Plenadren, but I have no idea if it's readily available yet. It seems great, as it contains slow-release cortisol

Blood test results - now even more confused
I have also done the Genova Adrenal Stress Profile test but am still waiting for the results, will post them separately when they arrive. Currently taking 2.25 grains Nature Throid at bedtime, at least 3 hours after any food. Increased from 2 grains nearly two months ago. I did the BH Thyroid Plus

Illogical advice from GP
Further to the recent saga over my blood test results, I have just had a follow-up appointment with my GP. The tests for celiac and serum cortisol came back within range - they were tested in case my low in-range folate levels* were due to malabsorption or overt stress - and she commented that my bloods

Husband's Bloods
Hello I've asked for help for my husband before and advice was given which we tried! He started taking thyroid S and got up to 4 grams! At first he felt better but then he got worse and I suspect he was taking too much and his ducks weren't in a row! He's 65 and sometimes has to go out to work in the

What happens after "normal" short synacthen test?
My daughter had short synacthen test as she has very low cortisol (200 - normal range is over 400) and diagnosis of CFS following glandular fever. This test was normal so I'm assuming this means her adrenals are ok. Does this mean there's a problem with the pituitary gland? Can anyone advise whether

I am having severe symptoms. I have severe intolerance to stress and very low blood pressure along with hyper pigmentation and a lot of other symptoms. I have to get infusions three days a week for my low blood pressure and dehydration. I just got my results back from my test yesterday and am confused

My visit to the Rheumatologist..OMG!!!
When the doctor allowed me to say a few words, here and there, i explained that my symptoms of pain, started with the onset of a rapid weight gain and severe insomnia at the same time diagnoses with Pituitary damage, abnormally low Cortisol results and Hashimoto's Disease. I had not been properly evaluated

Any recommended private endos in London who acknowledge adrenal fatigue?
Hello. I already have the email recommendation list from Thyroid UK but need a recommendation from patients. I'm looking for an endo that will treat low cortisol and DHEA. Thanks.

Dexamethasone Reactions?
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any experience of having done the Dexamethasone suppression test? I've got a it arranged for next week but I'm slightly nervous about having it done. This is really down to the fact that so far I haven't had an actual diagnosis and no doctors know what's wrong

FND, adrenal issues?
This is my first post here so please bear with me. I have been diagnosed with FND but researching the adrenals over the years as this has come up a few times. I don't seem to find I fit into the category of Addison's or Cushing's and I've come up negative on both. I'm not sure I fully buy into the adrenal

Starting Adrenal Cortex, jittery feeling
Hello, I've been taken yesterday (for the first time), 1pill x Thornes adrenal cortex at 10am and my usual thyroid hormones at 7am. After I swallowed I felt like I need more air ( similar to drinking too much coffee) but in the rest of the day I felt better than other days . I'm not sure if I can tolerate

why does my heart beat so loud?
Hi, I have m.e/cfs - please don't tell me I don't it's just insulting - and have experimented with all sorts of different ways of treating my hypothyroidism, low cortisol and m.e. At the moment I have found 85mcgs T3 plus one quarter of a grain of NDT (last thing at night helps with sleep) is the best

Cortisol interpretation?
Saliva cortisol results were very top of normal range for morning and afternoon, and significantly above normal range for evening and night. How does this fit with TSH 12.6 and T4 12.9? I understand how low cortisol may be associated with hypo thyroid but not high? I guess it explains a bit why I'm awake

BREATHLESS
A while ago I posted that I was feeling breathless after doing very little, even just walking up the stairs and I asked for some advice. It was suggested that I get some blood tests done, including my FT3 and so I had a private blood test done through Blue Horizon. I am currently taking 125 mg of T4
