Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Sounds liek adrenals came first. In adren fatigue the whole HPA is screwed up. This controls ALL the hormones we make. Once cortils drops the rest of it goes haywire. Conversions don;t happen as thye shoudl making oto much of some and not enough of their balances. Thyroid stresses the adrenals in that it increases the rate of cortisol clearance form the boy so if oyu are oin the hairy edge if barely enough, it pushes you beyond wher you are runnign out of cortiosl. http://www.nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://www.health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.faqhelp.webs.com/ http://www.health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ > I've often wondered, what come first in repairing the body? I'm low in DHES-S, Iron, Prog, Estrogen, and my sodium is always 136, it never budges. My question is, when I'm off T meds it appears the hormones improve (or I just have less symptoms), but when I'm on T meds things seem to worsen. So what does a person do? Do they work on improving the T meds or the other hormones so you can tolerate one or the other? I've had friends say if you take your thyroid meds then the other hormones will fall into place. I'm sure that's true to some point but is it the norm? > > And from what I'm understanding 136 sodium is below where I should be. There isn't one doctor I've seen who has even worried about my sodium. The range is 136-145. My potassium was 3.9 range 3.6-5.1. None this means anything to me, so when they say you're ok, I can't argue. > I've also had an ACTH Stim test and that came 'normal' but I was also up all night before the test due to storms.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 That just explains me to a 't'. Now I just have to figure out how to treat these adrenals in a way I can tolerate. Today I'm trying licorice tincture. I guess I need to be diligent about dosing that throughout the day instead of just one or two times. I can feel some crashing coming on now and it's nearing my T3 dose. Thanks > > I've often wondered, what come first in repairing the body?
