Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 ok i officially give up - i hate these meds. my test results are WORSE now then BEFORE i started. My thyroid levels are getting worse and worse - i just had a blood test on friday because i am gaining an unbelievable amount of weight/fat and feeling worse than I have ever felt. I took the test in the afternoon about 8hrs after taking the thyroid pills this time, day 20 of my cycle. Progesterone is also really high for the second month in a row. Platelets very low. TSH 2.33 FT4 12 (12 - 20) FT3 2.9 (4 - 6.8) Ferritin 26 (18 - 40 - possibly iron deficient) progesterone 56.3 (4 - 50) platelets 142 (145 - 400) anti thyroid antibodies -negative anti thyroroglobulin - negative -------------------------------------------------------------------- TEST ONE MONTH BEFORE IN THE MORNING: > > TSH 2.01 (0.3 - 5) > FT4 16 (12 - 20) > FT3 4.0 (4 - 6.8) > cortisol 430 (270 - 560) > > Ferritin 42 (18-40 possibly iron def.) > sodium 147 (135-145) > potassium 4.3 (3.5 - 4.5) > chloride 108 (98 - 106) --------------------------- SALIVA TEST CORTISOL - 8AM 7.23 (3.5 - 6.3) NOON 1.83 (1.4 - 2.8) 4PM 1.87 (0.8 -2.4) 8PM 1.50 (0.6 - 1.6) MIDNIGHT 0.90 (0.3 - 1.2) 4AM 1.62 ( 0.3 - 1.7) DHEA-S 8AM 6.1 (2.8-12.7) 8PM 3.0 (2.7 - 9.0) MIDNIGHT 5.1 (1.8 - 8.1) SODIUM (SALIVA 4PM) 10 (5.2 - 30.8) POTASSIUM 26.7 (3.7 - 31) CHLORIDE 25 (16 - 35) Comments: Phase 2 adrenal maladaption. Her 8am cortisol is elevated adn drops 75% at 12pm and remains relatively flat throughout the remainder of the 24hr period. This drop may indicate parasitic infection and may also be due to glycemic control issues and/or supplementation. Lacl of dynami pattern from 12pm - 4pm is in respond to her adrenal distress adn also may be due to glycemic control issues. Furthermore it may also be due to medications/supplements she is on. Her DHEA is within normal range but inverted at 12AM which is consistent with her adrenal distress and may also indicate an immune response - the feedback mechanism affecting interluekin 6 receptors, lowers cortisol and therefore DHEA increases to affect the immune response.
