hello again

i have an RT3 ratio of 8.7 from blood tests in january and confirmed by val.

salivary cortisol has always been low for 10 years. tried a trial of HC and

didn't get past the first day as it worsened my symptoms. a subsequent blood

test showed i had high cortisol and i shouldn't have taken HC.

the whole experience frightened me and gave up thinking about it for a few

months.

recent thyroid tests showed T3 below the range and TSH of 10 and i was feeling

depressed.

a doctor gave me beta blockers for the anxiety i was feeling and again i felt

worse and didn't get past the first day.

the question is if i do have normal to high blood cortisol is it ok to go T3

only, my private GP is coming round to the idea after 7 years of taking T3 and

only gaining some relief from the mental symptoms.

many thanks

jonny
