Currently under Dr Skinner and due to see Dr P in may - should I try supplements

[Guest guest]

Hiya!! I don't know what to do so wonderedn if anyone had some advice. I am

currently under Dr Skinner who is increasing my thyroxine dose - currently on

100mcg and due another blood test this week. I was wondering about going on to

some adrenal support and was going to order the comprehensive adrenal stress

profile from genova diagnostics but wasn't sure if it was worth is as I wouldn't

know what to do with the results!!!! I know I'll be seeing Dr P but would he

find having these results helpful or does he not need this kind of confirmation?

If it came back that my adrenal were indeed out of sorts could I just start

taking the Nutri adrenal supp. Oh so many questions - I do have his book but my

brain just can't take it all in!!! help!!

The 24 hour Salivary Adrenal Profile to check your levels of

cortisol and DHEA| at four specific times during the day is most definitely

worth it. We wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't. When the results are sent to

you, post them here on the forum and we will help with their interpretation. Dr

Peatfield most definitely would find the results useful, he recommends his

patients get this specific tests, especially if they are failing to get better

once they have started thyroid hormone. If you are suffering with low adrenal

reserve, you must start to treat this before starting thyroid hormone

replacement, otherwise no amount of thyroid hormone can be fully utilised at

the cellular level.

Yes, if the results shows you have low adrenal reserve, you

should start Nutri Adrenal Extra for at least 7 days without any thyroid

hormone replacement.

We do not believe in 'second guessing' on this forum . Too

many people cause all sorts of problems for themselves by putting themselves on

high doses of supplements their body doesn't need.

If you don't get the test done and you are seeing Dr P, you are

only putting off the evil day, because he will ask you to get these tests if

you are suffering symptoms.

Thank you so much. It is all just a huge minefield at the moment. I feel a

little better on the thyroxine but not right at all. I saw dr skinner first as

his appt came up first but looking forward to seeing Dr P in May too. I'll do

the saliva test and then let you all know and see whether I should stop the

thyroxine and start the supps etc when those results are in. Got my blood test

- vit D (as I am deficient) B12 (never had it before) ferritin and tft on Thurs

so it will complete some of the pic along with the saliva test. Here goes and

thank you for being there!!!!!!
