Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hello, I have been learning SO much in this last week! I was diagnosed hypo and started on synthroid 5 mos ago. 2 mos ago my tsh tested 'normal' and I am now considered adequately treated. (there's just that minor little fact that my symptoms haven't gone away and are getting worse!) I feel VERY confident that I have low cortisol - though I haven't done done the saliva test yet, my pupil test and temps, and bp all indicate, along w my symptoms, low cortisol. I'd like to switch over from syncrud to armour. I'm looking for a md, and as you all know this can take some time. Meanwhile, is it okay to start on some isocort while still on synthroid? Should I taper off synthroid first? I've read a lot od caes where one must get the cortisol levels up before getting on optimal armour dosage - so is it okay to start on the isocort now? I'm feeling rather desperate at this point. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
