Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi Val: I am doing better having dropped from 175mcg to 125mcg T3 and Im at about 9.5 weeks +/-. My pulse is in the 84-88 range down from the 110 range once I dropped the T3 lower. Plus the thumb joint pain and foot pain subsided too. I did just send in a 4x saliva test and do not have any current adrenal info to report but I think I have low adrenal symptoms? 1. Ankle Edema- oddly- seems top be in left ankle only. 2. High Basal temps??? Though I question the integrity of a the 2 non mercury thermometers that I have (one is digital and one is a " geratherm " mercury free) My basals have been 98.6, 98.7 etc... 3. Constant / chronic diarhea - which I had while using cortef 1.5 years ago as well. I had comprehensive stool analysis and I eat gluten free and whole foods. You mentioned POTASSIUM helped but I cant verify that mine is low. The ONLY thing that could be a factor- I chew way too much sugarless gum. Maybe that's the cause? Or can I try some potassium supplement? I have dumped all dairy products again- so even off dairy- still cannot hold onto food....which is bad... makes me hungry and probably leaves me really depleted. Could be I dont absorb anything! Including upplements.... 4.No menstrual cycle this month - yet many symptoms- breast enlargement, mild cramping... though this has been an ongoing battle- NO CYCLE - low thyroid hormones.I took a pregnancy test so not pregnant And I want to be.... I am taking Rhodiola, Ashwanghanda and Drenamin and Drenamin PMG from Standard Process - that my new ND recommended. They have some glandular properties and natural herbs and such???? Not sure if anyone has used them for adrenal support. Any thoughts? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
