That is what I got. He wants to know what he should do now beings he

is not on any thyroid meds yet and he can tell Endo and doc what needs

to be done if needed.

As he is on no thyroid now, start slow at 12.5mcg in the AM thne in

about 3-4 days if that goes well tke a second 12.5mcg. He can increase

it abotu every 4 days by 12.5mcg till his temps are normal.

My husband went to see the VA endo today, what a waste. No I guess

it wasn't cause now my husband saw firsthand what I went through

myself. But he wouldn't accept the saliva test as a " science "

backup. We told him all about the good things with the diabetes part

with his feet and his blood sugar going down. He just said don't

know what to tell you about that, cause he doesn't think it was the

HC. I told him that cortisol regulates blood sugar, he admitted that

but still didn't accept results. Wouldn't admit it helped my

husbands skin problems.

He looked at his blood tests forl thyroid, and said " these are a real

good thyroid test, it is doing fine. Brought up his low T3 and high

T4, did not accept that either. Didn't accept the rT3 ratio either,

even though it came from a reputable endo, Dr. Holtorf. All he said

he would not okay his HC prescrilption unless he went off of it and

he couldl do an ACTH test and if it warranted HC, he would do it.

What a bummer.....guess we will have to buy his HC for awhile until

we can figure something else out. In time he may quit the VA

completely, they are not there to help you even though their signs

say something about you know your body. We gave him the low cortisol

symptoms he had, guess that wasn't scientific enough for him. I did

have other questions for him, but didn't after the way he acted and

showed his mindset. I ask him if he believes if cortisol takes the

thyroid hormone to the tissues, he said NO....I said then I suppose

you do not believe that the thyroid hormone pools in the blood when

the cortisol is low, NO I DO NOT. He had a fit when he found out he

was on 20 mg HC, he thought he was only on 2.5mg because that is what

my husband said he started out on and got better but he also told the

doc he upped it further and got more results, but I think his mind

was set and didn't hear anything else I guess.....

So it looks like we will be using this forum as our help. He is

taking T3 now for his rT3....will up it again tomorrow.....so will be

back when I need more advice on his or mine adrenals/thyroid....
