Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hi Everyone I got back some results from genova yesterday and the adrenal in particular is bad. Sample 1 - 3.4 (12-22) Sample 2 - 1.6 (5.0-9.0) Sample 3 - 0.7 (3.0-7.0) Sample 4 - 0.6 (1.0-3.0) Total Daily Cortisol - 6.3 (21-41 nmol/L) DHEA Levels Sample 2 (am) - 0.17 (0.40-1. 47) Sample 3 (pm) - 0.25 (0.40-1. 47) DHEA : Cortisol Ratio - 3.33 (2.0-6.0) These are quite a bit worse than the ones i last had done, about 18 months ago. Total cortisol then was 11. Im disappointed because ive been taking HC and supplements the last 18 months and was hoping they might have healed a bit. Im worried ive made them worse by taking too much HC, i was taking 35mg at one point but Dr P did advise me to. The big problem is ive had to stop my HC as it was making me feel worse, i felt like my brain was inflammed and i was dizzy and confused. I had started to think maybe my cortisol levels had gone too high. My DHEA levels have always been ok before, so im not sure what i should be doing about that? Is there something i should take and could these levels being low make my cortisol worse? This is the 24hr urine thyroid results i got yesterday FT3 - 412 (592-1850) FT4 - 343 (347-1994) T3:T4 Ratio - 1.2 (0.5-2.00) They are quite similar to the ones i had before i started NT, slightly better thou. Im at a bit of a lose what to do, im still housebound and am worried im making myself worse. Im not stupid but it so hard to read up on all this stuff when youre heads like mashed tattie! Any advice would be great, thanks very much. Love Leisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
