Any insight, Val?

Thanks in advance!

What time of day was this done? Are you on any adrenal meds? Did you fast salt

for 48 hours before testing? What thyroid meds (if any) are you on?

This was done at 8 a.m., and I was fasting, although my CFS MD did

not want me to salt fast. I was on salt at the time of the test.

The only adrenal stuff I was on was an adrenal glandular. I do not

take thyroid meds.

Well the thyroid does not look right at all, way too low T4 compared to your T3

whihc usually indicates LOW cortisol. The Aldosterone is not conclusive as oyu

did not fast salt. It is expected to be low when you have enough sodium in your

body, so you need to see how HIGH it can go when you need salt. Being on an

adrenal glandular pretty much screws the ACTH adn cortisl results as if it

contains hormone sit will lower ACTH adn cortisol will be inconclusive. So my

only conclusions from these tests would be that your cortisll is still too low

and oyu need better adrenal support to utilize thyroid properly and you proabbyl

need thyroid as well as your T4 is very low.

Thanks Val, I appreciate you taking the time to look at these

numbers. My CFS MD wanted to see how I was aldosterone-wise WITH the

salt. When I see her in April, I'll ask her if we can re-test the

aldosterone, without salt. Would the T3 / T4 look different since

I've started the HC? The adrenal glandular I'm taking is MilAdregen.

Yes the T3 should go down when you add cortisol to the picture but that

will not raise your T4, ponly lower it further but then your next labs

should show the hypo I am sure you are feeling and then you should be

able to start Armour.
