Use of Corticoide to treat tight foreskin
I went to my doctor today and he prescribed a
cortisone
cream to loosen the skin before we go for circumcision . What are your thoughts about the corticoide cream? Has anyone tried and had good effect with it on loosening the foreskin?

Prednisolone taper
Hi everyone Been tapering from 5mg Pred for adrenal insufficiency and managed to get down to 3mg last week. Then down to 2.5mg and begun to feel unwell so went back to 3mg. The last few days I've been feeling a bit nauseous and my stomach has been sore. So I upped my steroid to 10mg (sick day rules)

Recommendation re supplements
Hi allI'm fairly new to the forum and I'm finding all your info and wealth of experience extremely helpful. Have learnt that addressing possible nutritional deficiencies is important before Thyroid hormone therapy can be optimally effective. I have Hashimotos and recently posted full thyroid panel results

After weekly visits to my GP’s for months with one symptom after another and lots of test and scan’s completed, without any firm diagnosis, success! They completed a blood test (advised by my dentist)and the test showed I have a low cortisol level. I am being referred to an Endocrinologist to get a diagnosis

Very Scary SVT.
I recently posted on this forum asking if asthma medications (Advair along with a
cortisone
allergy shot) could trigger a-fib, as I had a recent episode of that, and some of you confirmed it. It's notable that I had taken a puff of Advair just 15 minutes before the SVT attack last night.

low cortisol
I saw the Rheumy doctor over a month ago and her flippant diagnosis mirrored so many others’. About the same time a random telephone health check from my health centre showed my BP was 175/75 and I was quickly prescribed amlodopine . The rheumatologist was adamant my symptoms did not reflect PMR

Supplements for adrenal support
I’ve been researching supplements for low cortisol / adrenal support and find the whole subject very confusing. Some information suggests that high cortisol is the reason for adrenal fatigue and recommends supplements which are ‘calming’ and lower cortisol. Other sources claim, quite rightly, that

does inflammation return after cortisone?
I had a
cortisone
injection into my shoulder joint last week and I’m concerned that the inflammation that’s been reduced to make me feel a little better will return after the injection wears off. Is this a thing?

private consult
I went to see the private endocrinologist consultant. He was very much guided by the GP letter. Low cortisol saliva test - I’m going back on Monday morning for private blood tests x3 to rule out a rare pituitary condition. He feels certain i do not have it. Multi nodular goitre - it is visibly larger

Low cortisol: will it improve when I'm on HRT?
I think I just keep asking the same question but in various different ways. 😂 I work term time only and every half term I'm full of optimism about what me and the kids can do and how much I'll get done in the house and inevitably I spend all week on the sofa. It's the same every time. I recognise

Latest Endo visit.... bit weird 😕 When all seems lost just say NO 😉
Started with being told I would have to drop my dose as not happy with TSH 0.05 talked all about this (T4 48% T3 95%) risk of heart and bone damage blah blah..... I pointed out that we had tried that before and it didn't go well for me... threatened to cut me loose if I didn't reduce! Continued to bang

Levothyroxine and cortisol/supplements timing
Hi everyone, finally had an appointment with a private thyroid specialist who has prescribed a starter dose of Levo (75 mcg), which I'll start next week. Have Hashimoto's and currently taking supplements to improve vits etc. I have very low cortisol most of the day (from Regenerus test) so have been

Chemo may be helping
Hi Fellow Fighters, Prior to my third round of Taxotere last Friday, I had blood work done. After 2 rounds, my PSA dropped 4.7 points. TBH, I feel like crap today, but the results are promising. My blood work also showed low cortisol levels, how concerned should I be about that? Thanks.

Epidural Injections for Back Pain for MPN Patient
L5 was pretty much gone (maybe arthritis or osteoporosis) so I was given a
cortisone
shot in my hip and knee cap. Also given a anti-inflamatory pac, muscle relaxer, and Tylenol 3 for pain. I have been using a walker for the last month as I couldn't straighten up my back.

Dealing with stressful situations and events while in prednisolon
Could it really be that it is due to the production of
cortisone
is too low to handle the stress? I cannot walk away from it but just needed to vent here - -

Vestibular papillomatosis
It's been 9 months of this and I've gone through so many tubes of
cortisone
and lidocaine. I'm finally taking action and finding a specialist.

cortisol and oestrogen is there a link?
i’m a complicated case, but curious about hrt and cortisol. Don’t want to bore anyone with full history, in a nutshell. Hashimoto 2018, Graves 2021. Off all meds currently, but six months ago started body identical hrt. My cortisol is now 160 at 9am. Does oestrogen cause low cortisol, or should i get

Has anyone retested their cortisol levels whilst using adrenal glandular supplements and seen any improvement?
I've been taking adrenal glandular for 4 months, recent serum cortisol shows no improvement than before, is it too soon? Wondering if I should do another saliva cortisol? I feel better for taking it so loathed to stop.... maybe I should give it longer?

Thyroid and cortisol results
Hi all, just got results back from latest NHS bloods. Any thoughts? This was primarily to try and 'verify' my private blood test results showing above-range TSH (6.1) and high antibodies. Test was done just before 9am, fasting, currently not on any meds, no biotin week before. I also asked for serum
