Re: Newbie here; need advice

Cortisol:

7AM: 7.0 (7 - 10)

11AM 2.2 (3 - 6)

5PM 0.9 (2 - 4)

11:30PM 2.2 (<1.5)

Thyroid:

Free T4: 1.14 (0.61 - 1.76)

Free T#: 3.6 (2.3 - 4.2)

TSH: 4.249 (0.35 - 5.5)

Your T3 is rising due to your inability to use it which is shown in your TSH. I

would recommend trying Isocort before HC but your levels are pretty low, so you

may need HC to feel better. Is your estrogen high? If so you probably will need

HC which will lower it as well.

(I posted this earlier, but didn't see it on the site, so here it is

again:)

Val,

Thanks for your help.

My estradiol was at the high end of optimum in January, 2.0 (optimum

for menopausal 1.0 - 2.0). My doctor thought that maybe my

testosterone (which was 43.9 out of optimum 15 - 35) was aromatazing,

so I've gone off the T (of which I was taking a very negligible

amount; my prescription was 2mg/ml, but I was only taking 1/10 of an

ml every other day). Last year my T reading was 137.9! (Estradiol was

2.0 last year, too, so no change.)

In August 2006 my 7AM cortisol at 5.0 was lower than this year's, and

the other results (11AM, 5PM & 10PM) were 3.5, 2.8 & 2.4,

respectively (optimum ranges the same). TSH at that time was 1.32

(optimum range 0.4 - 5.5). No FT4 or FT3 was done then.

Does this shed any more light on my case?

I am presently taking only AdrexSel (one capsule in the AM), L-

tyrosine (two 500mg capsules in the AM), and 50mg of Iodoral in two

doses during the day. I take other supplements, but these are the

ones directly affecting the thyroid/adrenals. I've been taking iodine

for 18 months now, and the other two since the beginning of February.

I haven't noticed any difference from the first two I mentioned.

Well I have not seen people feel well without replaceing the hormones they are

low in. The thyroid does NOT seem prone to regenerating and once low stays that

way until you replace thyroid hormones, then it is for life. While adrenals CAN

regenerate, depending on how bad they are, will depend on whether you need to

boost cortiol in order for them to heal for as long as they are being pummeled

with ACTH constntly from your body always needing more cortisl than they can

produce, they pften do NOT heal.
