Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 ANd the 74 for ferritin is fine if oyu have NO inflammation. Most people wiht low cortils have inflammation. Have you done a full iron panel to be certain it is OK? -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 >No. He didn't want to do a full iron panel... He wants me off all cortisol (Isocort and Cortef) and have a CT scan done of my adrenals and a ultrasound of my thyroid this week. > Sounds a nightmare. To come off you will probably need to come down at 2.5 a week at the quickest Nick -- for more information on RT3 and Thyroid Resistance go to www.thyroid-rt3.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 >I don't understand what you are referring to... I have only been taking Cortef since last monday evening...15mg a day. The RPh said I could just stop taking it which is what I did today... I am still taking Isocort but weaning off that.. I didn't realise you'd only been on it a few days. How long have you been on the isocort? Nick -- for more information on RT3 and Thyroid Resistance go to www.thyroid-rt3.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
