Guest guest Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 THANK YOU VAL, great to know about the SHBG... as i'm sure i wouldve wondered what the heck was going on!lol 1)i think i am going to order estrogel, but is there a reason you switched that for premarin? 2)is there a form of progesterone you most recommend?... i checked out my main source for supps and there are so many to choose from 3)i have been having wide variations in my BG val, and it worries me a bit.... for instance two nights ago it was 85, great. but then my fasting bg the other morning was 110 (not quite immediately after i got up, but close). and my bg just an hour ago was 136! this was taken about an hour and a half after eating anything ...a tiny snack of cheese and pb, and i think i might have had some crystal lite/sea salt water before. i didnt get enough sleep last night, due to a death in my bf's family, so i wonder if stress is raising my cortisol, raising my bg. should i be concerned? i eat very very low glycemic index already, cant go lower . would you recommend metformin for someone like me? > >>>>>>>> hi val, > >>>>>>>> i posted my brand new cortisol results on the adrenals page, heres a link so you can reference those for a big picture > >>>>>>>> > >>>>>>> http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/message/1806\ 57 > >>>>>>> they are basically slightly over range in the am, normal at noon, high in range in evening, and below range at midnight. i moved my bedtime dose of t3 to the next morning, i start getting sleepy around 9-10 and i fall asleep so quickly, if i am out driving it is even hard to keep my eyes open, like my body is just shutting down whether i like it or not,lol. > >>>>>>> took my blood pressure last night and it was low...98/68, hr 81, then rose to 113/70 upon standing. > >>>>>>> just now (at 3pm... )i took it and it was 118/78, then i stood up and it was 113/54. right now my heartrate is over 100 and i have not taken any salt yet. i know when i do it will help my heartrate. > >>>>>>> > >>>>>>>> but as far as everything else, i just got my new labs back > >>>>>>>> the rbc potass, and aldo are not finished yet, so i will post those when i get them. > >>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>> here they are, could you help me interpret please? i'd be so grateful for your help val > >>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>> tsh .oo5 o.45-4.5 > >>>>>>>> ft4 .07 .82-1.77 > >>>>>>>> ft3 6.1 2-4.4 > >>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>> tibc 288 250-450 > >>>>>>>> uibc 186 150-375 > >>>>>>>> iron,s 102 35-155 > >>>>>>>> iron sat 35 15-55 > >>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>> potass RBC will follow > >>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>> sodium, serum 139 135-145 > >>>>>>>> potass, serum 4.7 3.5-5.2 > >>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>> aldost will follow > >>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>> i was on 112mcg t3 at the time, > >>>>>>>> felt slight slight hypo symptoms, like i could stand for a tad more, so i bumped it to 125mcg just yesterday, not sure if it will stick or not. > >>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>> what do you think? > >>>>>>>> > >>>>>>> ------------------------------------ > >>>>>>> > >>>>>>> We are not medical professionals here, just patients sharing our experiences.
