Re:What do I do next---need suggestions!

[Guest guest]

Thank you Cheri and Val for your responses. Cheri, thanks for the links.

I've read thru alot of them and will start the temp chart. I've ordered

Isocort.

After doing some more reading, I realized that my ferritin is not ok. It's

30 (which is in range for the lab that did the test) but not where it needs

to be for thyroid function. I bought some elemental iron to

supplement--I'll research the files for info on that.

So right now I'm on 2 grains of Armour and 40 mg of Progesterone. I bought

some licorice root today and have Isocort coming in the mail this week. Do

you recommend doing both Isocort and licorice root? So as far as

supplements go, I will be taking about 3000-5000mg of Vit C, B-complex, 85

mg of elemental iron, fish oil, and probiotics. Anything I'm overlooking as

far as you can tell? I've read and you mentioned that once the adrenals are

replenished, the thyroid often follows suit. Does this happen with

Hashimotos too, with elevated TPOs?

To refresh your memory:

Blood tests:

TSH 13

Free T4 .7 (.8-1.8)

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies >1000

T3 not checked.

Ferritin 30

Saliva test results:

Estradiol 1.9 (1.3-3.3 Luteal range)

Progesterone 13 ***Very Low** (75-270 Luteal range)

Ratio Pg?E2 6.8

Testerone 42 (16-55 for my age--32)

DHEAs 13.3 (5-15 for age 32)

Cortisol Morning 6.6 (3.7-9.5)

Cortisol Noon 1.2 **bottom of range**(1.2-3)

Cortisol Evening .5 **just out of range**(.6-1.9)

Cortisol Night .3 ***just out of range**(.4-1)

Thanks!
