Hi Jackie, I forgot to answer one of your questions below.

-------------Many of us do need a variety of hormonal support, and do

feel better if we get this figured out. What kind of tests did you

have done? Could you post the results here?-----------Jackie

I haven't got a scanner up and running, so I would need to type them

all out. This test was done by taking iodine and collecting urine

over 24 hours.

Urine free cortisol:

Urinary free cortisol: 265 nmol/day (50 -250) H

volume of collection: 1130 mL

Creatinine Urine Timed: 10.4 mmol/24h (6.2 - 17.7)

**********Most of us get saliva testing for cortisol, so I'm not used to

looking at urinary measures, but according to this, you're a little high. But I

have no idea how that relates to saliva. I think saliva tests more what is

actually getting into your cells, not just floating around in your

blood.----------Jackie

UT Creatine:

Time of collection: 24 hours

Volume of Collection: 1130 mL

Creatine Urine " 9.2 mmol/L

Creatinine Urine Timed: 10.4 mmol/24h (6.2 - 17.7)

Insulin Growth F1: (growth hormone levels). I am 35 years of age,

my levels were apparently about as low as someone well into middle

age:

Insulin Growth F1: 148 (93.53-320.16).

***********I remember someone telling me that you should get your IGF1 tested,

because she was very low, and it can help you feel better to raise it. Have

never done this though.-----------Jackie

Cortisol serum test:

Cortisol - 8.30 am: 501 nmol/L (250-700)

***********Once again, we usually use saliva, so not sure how relevant this

is.----Jackie

Thyroid antibodies:

Thyroid Microsom Abs: Negative

Antithyroglobulin Ab: Negative

(adrenal hormone)

Aldosterone (plasma) 309 (100-800)

Thyroid function

T3 (Free): 3.0 pmol/L (4-6.8) A

T4 (Free): 13.7 pmol/L (12.8-20.4)

T.S.H.: 1.00 mlU/L (0.4-3.8)

**************Yes your T3 is very low, and your T4 is low too. They say you

usually want these in the upper 1/3 to 1/4 of the range to feel best. But if

you need adrenal support, you need to do that first, or taking thyroid could

make you feel worse.--------Jackie

I hope this makes some sense, I am not familiar with testing like

this, so just typing some of it out for you to look at.

My doctor basically told me that I have low T3 (thyroid). That my

cortisol was at good decent levels. That my growth hormone was very

low for my age.

***************Sounds about right, except like I said about the cortisol, we

usually use saliva testing 4X/day. I'm just curious, I can't remember where you

are, and what kind of doctor is this?------------Jackie

She has prescribed me natural thyroid from a pig (60 mg to start),

Lugols iodine (4 drops daily) and something for the adrenals, because

I'm complaining of constantly wanting to sit or lie down, I cannot

seem to get up. But she only wants me taking half a tab of it.

************Sounds like probably Armour for the thyroid, and possibly Cortef

for the adrenals? Do you know how many mg of that? It sounds like this doctor

understands the adrenal and thyroid connection, so that is great. If you want

to do some more reading about this on your own, I think we have some adrenal and

thyroid links in the Links section, and DeanSA has some great info at his

website. Look for some recent posts by him and about adrenals, thyroid, and/or

ACE. Good luck, and let us know how you do.-----------Jackie
