What do I do next---need suggestions!

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm new here. I've been reading thru the files saved here and have

spent the last week reading articles online on the subject. I'm learning

alot, and I'm finding some conflicting info. I'd like to know where to

start in order to heal. Do you mind reviewing my situation and giving me

some advice?

Diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis in 2002.

Been on Armour since 2005 (subclinical hypothyroidism)

After stressful year (good riddance 2007!) and feeling crummy, did bloodwork

listed below. Symptoms that started this fall include: Heart palpatations,

anxiety (trying to sell house in the current market!), difficulty falling

asleep, Minor incontinence, memory issues, slight depression, evening

fatigue until 9 pm, no libido, feeling dehydrated, occasional dizziness,

dandruff, irritable, emotional.

Blood tests:

TSH 13

Free T4 .7 (.8-1.8)

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies >1000

Other antibodies, iron levels, and ferritin are normal. T3 not checked.

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)

My conclusion is that I have Hashimotos. I increased Armour dosage from

105 to 120 mg after test results. Also started gluten free diet. Started

Pro-gest by emerita yesterday (day 12 of cycle). Applying cream morning and

night. Adding sea salt to water, trying to get to sleep earlier (by

10:30), and after reading some of the files, considering starting yeast

detox. Also considering buying licorice extract.

Does it seem odd that my DHEAs are so high with progesterone and thyroid

being low? Any ideas what I should treat first? I'm really looking forward

to getting back to normal. Please help!!

Thanks!!
