Something strange happened any ideas ?

[Guest guest]

Hi, so atm im on hc/florinef/T3 while im on my anti fungal program. But last

nite something a bit wierd happened. My body started to produce cortisol.

I had my last hc/t3 at 8pm 5hc and 25 T3, now usually i would feel tired around

11/12 pm and head off to bed. But last nite i felt wide awake and i knew my body

was producing cortisol as i needed to pee quite a few times between 8pm and 4am.

I didnt feel tired or the need to take any hc and i managed to get to sleep

around 4am.

Any ideas why this would just happen one day ? Because usually if i dont take

any hc at around 11/12 i would be falling asleep due to tiredness.

Cheers

Steve

Steve - maybe it wasn't cortisol but adrenaline? That's more likely to keep you

awake. Many of us produce adrenaline as a kind of last resort if we are low on

cortisol. (Adrenaline is produced in the inner part of the adrenal gland, which

often is still OK in autoimmune 's).

Also, needing to pee a lot suggests you were LOW on aldosterone or cortisol, not

producing MORE cortisol. I don't know your medical situation, but if you have

primary 's, then consuming a lot of potassium (e.g. many veggies)might

have upset your electrolyte balance and make you pee to try to eliminate it.

Steve - whoops, I got confused hen I saw HC/florinef/cortisol and forgot that

this is a thyroid forum, not an 's forum. Sorry! I've mostly been

following 's forums since I was recently diagnosed with it.
