Hyper symptom/ Could it be rT3?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I changed to Natural thyroid a year ago after taking Levothyroxine for 15 years

and I was doing well. Then about a month ago I became hyperthyroid, it took me a

while to realise this was the problem so I stopped taking NDT for a week but

since then haven't been able to tolerate taking it again. So now I am back with

hypo symptoms. Could this be rT3?

Last September I had a Adrenal Stress Profile (Genova) and as the results

indicated low adrenal function I had my GP refer me to Endo as I wanted a

diagnosis from the NHS. From the synachten test he said my Adrenals were fine

(no surprise there then) so now I have to decide what to do next.

I have been supporting my adrenals by taking Co Q10, Ginkgo Bilbao, Vitamin C

and Vitamin D3 ( D3 low on NHS test). I can't tolerate Nutri adrenal extra or

Isocort so I have just order Thorne Adrenal Cortex to try.

Adrenal Stress Profile

Sample 1 2.6 (12-22)

Sample 2 1.5 (5.0-9.0)

Sample 3 2.1 (3.0-7.0)

Sample 4 0.5 (1.0-3.0)

Total daily cortisol 6.7 (21-41)

DHEA

am 0.31 in range

pm 0.16 Low

DHEA: Cortisol Ratio 3.51

Thyroid blood test when hyper symptoms but stoppped NDT for 24 hours

TSH 0.04 (0.10-4.00 )

Free T4 12.1 (11.00-22.00)

No FreeT3 even though asked for

Also Blood pressure is up and if it doesn't come down soon my GP wants to treat

it but I am reluctant to take medication. Blood pressure reading drops on

standing by 10.

Basal Temps 36.4 and pulse 74 since stopping NDT. I keep forgetting to do temps

through the day.

I know I need to

1.Get back on thyroid medication and have been taking a little T3 around 20mcg.

2.Address the poor adrenal function

3.Lower Blood pressure and high cholesterol.

I just not sure what to do next? Will the Adrenal cortex supplement be enough or

do I need to consider HC. If it could be rT3 should I start with sorting that

first.

I feel so ill and as my daughter is very ill ME/CFS with adrenal/ thyroid issues

I want to be as well as I can. Any advice would be great.
