Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 After a ton of research and finally finding a Dr. that somewhat listened I was prescribed armour. She told me to take 60MG for 6 weeks until I retest. I am going to tweak that because all the research I have done shows that you do not want to stay at a low does for more than two weeks or so. My Dr. explained that I have had Hashimoto at some point because of my TPO results and I am Hypo. She did not really talk about my adrenals. I asked a couple questions and she said she will retest in 6 weeks. After reading that did not make much sensoe because in order of the armour to be effective the adrenals need to be functioning properly. I have a ton of symptoms for both Hypo and adrenal fatigue. I would like to get advice on whether I should start some sort of Cortisol before I start my armour. I did the flashlight test and my pupils do not stay constricted, they were trying to stay constricted but could not. I sometimes get dizzy from getting up, I can sleep for hours and never feel rested at all. Anyway, I will post my saliva and blood spot results. I know we are not Dr.s but I do not know how my Dr will react to me asking to for adrenal support like HC. I am not a fan of self medicating but I am almost positive I have adrenal fatigue. My cortisol in the morning is in range but low and I know I should be the highest then. Thanks in advance for any advice. If I do need adrenal support is isocort ok or do I need to find a way to get HC prescribed? Sorry for all the question but I am new to all this and somewhat confused.
