Re: Re: Val,HC dosing,need help/aldosterone?

[Guest guest]

Low aldosterone whats that? I am so dizzy and lightheaded now its not funny. I had to lay down. I wake up every morning with my head feeling soooo heavy and severe brain fog. I dont know if anyone would know but does estradiol replacement cause problems with thyroid and or adrenals. My dr said I have problems keeping my estradoil levels up.

Sorry, coming in late here, have you had your aldosterone tested? Dizziness and bad reaction to bright lights are two symptoms of low aldosterone. (The dizziness may be from low blood pressure, and the sensitivity to light from electrolyte imbalance, both of which can be a result of low aldosterone.)

Aldosterone is an adrenal hormone.

There's some good info on the STTM site at http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/?s=aldosterone.

Thank you lisa. Do people go on hc when cortisol is high? I can't seem to find an answer. I have low morning cortisol and high the rest of the day. I have major anxiety, shakes and nervous feeling most of the day.Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone with Nextel Direct ConnectDate: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 08:57:30 -0700 (PDT)To: <RT3_T3 >Subject: Re: Re: Val,HC dosing,need help/aldosterone?

I don't know enough about cortisol to help you, unfortunately. But do I remember reading that Val recommended you take a morning dose? It seems logical that if your morning cortisol is low then you would supplement it and not the rest of the day.

I'd be interested in knowing if supplementing your morning dose might help the adrenals enough that your levels might be positively affected for the rest of the day.

Val's on break this week and the adrenals board is inactive, but it might be worth asking her advice when the board comes back up. You can post a question now and wait for the answer next week.

Sorry I can't be of more help. I'm working on low cortisol issues myself and still learning.

Good luck,
