Low cortisol but within normal nhs range
I have had 2 blood cortisol tests at 9am 1st one was 133 nmol/L and the 2nd one was 233 nmol/L . I asked to have a short synacten test to see if my pituitary is failing ( hypopituitarism) , as one of my big symptoms is low motivation, tiredness, hypothyroidism and zero libido for years despite being

Lean muscle, raised metabolism and feeling warm all the time (further points added at the end)

My pred experience scares me.
I really need some help understanding what's going on in my body. In late April I had been at 25 mg for a while with mild PMR-like symptoms. Then, one day all my symptoms went away after I made a big positive life change. I then tapered down to 6 mg over a three month period without any problems.

DUTCH Practitioner
I am thinking of having a DUTCH test due to low cortisol and chronic insomnia. I contacted DUTCH but they’re unable to give me a UK practitioner’s details due to date protection?! Can anyone recommend a UK practitioner please? I assume this can be done with an online consultation, but if not I’d be

Low Estradiol and low Iron - is it Thyroid?
Hi all, I have been on 2.375 grains of Armour and 2.5 T3 since May and my results are: Ft4 33% Ft3 75% 24 hours after meds since Armour is slower release. I don't tolerate Armour in its own, tried everything from 3 to 2.25 grains. Iron 49 (50-180) Estradiol 12 (21-280) checked 4th day of cycle FSH

PMR flare or something else?
I posted a couple weeks ago about pain and stiffness in my hips, shoulders, and hands/wrists, starting when I reduced to 3 mg from 3.5 mgprednisone using DSNS (diagnosed in 2018 PMR/GCA) and also had a great deal of stess and activity. The rheumatologist thought it was carpal tunnel and trochanter hip

Anyone for macrocytosis?
I asked for a copy of a recent cardiology report where AF was diagnosed. The report mentions hypertension, PMR, OA, B12 deficiency (oral tablets) and mild macrocytosis. I assume the latter was identified at the last routine bloods, nearly a year ago, but is not a cause for concern. It’s a new one

Adrenal cortex and DHEA supplementing
My recent saliva test showed low DHEA (91 - range 106-300) and low cortisol levels (Diurnal cortisol pattern is consistent with evolving (Phase 2) HPA axis (adrenal gland) dysfunction.) I passed an SST, but my endo didn’t seem interested in helping me further (too focused on supressed TSH) so I’d like

Could low iron be making me feel very unwell?
For the past 6 weeks I have had awful dizziness, tingling feet, feeling spaced and almost consents tinnitus. It’s got so bad I’m having to go to bed for chunks of the day and when I’m up I don’t feel very present. I’ve seen a neurologist, had an MRI and CT scan and a brain bleed was ruled out. The

never loose hope upping NDT!!
bit of back story, I have been on 1 grain of NDT for 3.5 years (with added t4). Every time I upped 1/4 grain I would get hyper symptoms and it would push my t3 over range. So I had no choice but to add levo in (tirosint). T4 seems to make me feel worse and worse the higher I go in doses with extreme

Hi, Could really do with some advice at the moment. I’m taking 100mcg Levo and 6mcgs Lio. I’ve been ok. Not 100% but then I’m considerably better than 2 yrs ago when I started treatment. I dropped my Levo down to 100 ( from 125) 3 weeks ago so I cant give you latest bloods yet as I’m waiting a little

Blood test results help please
Hello, I'm new to this forum so I apologise if this has all been asked before.

Low cortisol .. next steps
Hello everyone I recently did the 4 point saliva cortisol test and the result was low cortisol at all 4 points, but particularly in the morning. It helped explain why I find it so hard to get out of bed and struggle with low energy all morning. My DHEA is also low. I then had a Short Synacthen test

Adrenal glandulars
Hi all I'm just looking for an adrenal glandular supplement to address phase 3 adrenal dysfunction as per recent Regenerus lab result. I've since had a syncathen test but no diagnosis. I find alot of confusing information when I google these supplements as alot of them mention as "balancing adrenals"
