Re: new member in need of advice. Query hypothyroidism and adrenal stress.

[Guest guest]

HI,

Well I bumped up the message hoping someone would reply, but no takers yet!!

On the face of it the thyroid results look ok, everything nicely in range so I

can see why the doc is happy. BUT,,, if you feel rubbish and the urine test

says nothing is going through into the cells then it's clearly not OK.

Have you had a look at reverse T3 levels? How about Cellular resistance.....

Have a look here at Nick's site http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/

The raised Ferritin suggests inflammation somewhere. You;re looking for it to

be high, but not too high!!

How about doing a saliva test to check where your adrenals are are different

times of the day...... they are supposed to produce more hormones in the

morning and then tail off towards the night, but if they are stressed this

pattern can go haywire, leaving you feeling awful.... Test available from

Genova and there is a discount if you mention TPA. details in the files.....

How are your B12 and folate levels? These can make you feel tired....

Ideally you want B12 to be over 600.... and folate towards the top of the

range......

How about Copper and zinc? if copper is low, it means the cells can't make

use of iron in the blood, so even if the iron is there it's not used.....

Plenty of stuff you can investigate yourself..... it just takes time and

patience.....

>I had a 24 hour urinary hormone test test a few years back. it showed that most

of the readings were low across the board except the 24 hour urinary phosphorus

which was high. they did not recommend any treatment other than to get more

sleep. I am getting more these days but i am still exahusted albeit slightly

less so.

what exactly was tested and what were the results?

i'd look at adrenal function...

have you done the hertoghe questionnaire? that should give you some indication

what's wrong

thyroid treatment/files/MEDICAL%20QUES\

TIONNAIRES/ some people dismiss this questionnaire thinking the questions are

generic and could be anything, but i've found they match up well with blood

tests. You could do worse than try to get hold of Hertoghe's book or Dr

Peatfields book.

is your sleep ok apart from being disrupted? by this i mean is it possible you

could have sleep apnoea? (i have this condition, where i stop breathing 90

times an hour, with out treatment)

can anyone tell me if my blood tests look like my thyroid hormone levels are too

low? the only 2 figures that were flagged up were creatinine and ferritin but

the gp said that was fine, essentially a normal profile.
