Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Nigel, Is there a supplement you can take if you have low thyroid? From: nachonigel@... Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2011 15:22:35 -0500 Subject: Re: Question about Cortisol This is just my experience, but I get no " feel good " effect from HC. It just prevents (or stops if I'm overdue for a dose) shakes, confusion and that low cortisol death-like fatigue from occurring. If I'm generally tired or need a pick up I'm probably not low cortisol and HC will just make me feel bloated and tired if I didn't need it. Instead, these symptoms are more often low iron, hypothyroid or even that my estradiol has gone too high and is blocking thyroid hormones. Note your symptoms when increasing cortisol. If you feel funny, that could be your body telling you something about cortisol levels going higher. -Nigel On 3 April 2011 11:03, alagonza2000 <alagonza2000@...> wrote: > > > Phil- there was no well-being...
