Guest guest Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hi, I have been taking cortisol for approx. 5mos.(Dec. 09'- stopped taking 1st week in May. I was taking 10 mgs of cortisol, then after labs came back showed TSH high 4.92 (0.40-4.50 normal) and T3 reverse high 36 (11-32 normal) Ferrintin was low at 26. My Wellness doc started me on slow release T3 5MG. I could not tolerate the srT3 and 10mg of cortisol together. My heart raced and I had anxiety symptoms. I could not tolerate even low dose 2.5 mg of each together. I stopped taking cortisol and currently now taking 10 mg of SRT3. I also take Iodoral. My questions: How do I know if i still need cortisol? I dont want to take it because it has caused terrible stomach issues. How do I know if 10mg is enough for me? Should I stop taking Iodoral? I have had labwork done 3 times in the past 6mos, and the thyroid problems did not show up until now. IF there is an adrenal group i would like to know how to join?
