's Adrenal test results---Need advise PLEASE

[Guest guest]

DHEAS 13.7 (ng/ml) Range is 3-10 (High out of range)<-------

Cortisol Morning 7.2 ng/ml Range is 3-8

Cortisol Noon 2.8 ng/ml Range is 2-4

Cortisol evening 1.3 ng/ml Range is 1-2

Cortisol night .3 ng/ml Range is .5-1.5 (Too low out of range)<----

Where do I go from here?

My current symptoms are anxiety, nervousness, strained, (memory

seems to have gotten better), feeling down, crying, mood swings.

Since taking this adrenal test, I was converting from Lovexyl to

Armour. I was taking 212MG T4 at the time when I took my adrenal

test and now taking 2.25 grains Armour(for the past 6 weeks I have

been increasing 1/2 a grain every 1.5 weeks and reducing my T4). I

don't know if the anxiety and nervousness is caused by my Armour or

is it my night Adrenal...The problem is I cant tell if I am taking

to much Armour or too little. How can I tell? At the same time I

feel tired in the evening like I am ready to fall over. I have not

taken a blood test yet since the conversion. I wanted to wait a few

weeks to stabilize then take a blood test. The only thing is this is

effecting my job and I am holding to my job on threads..I have never

been on antidepressent, should I consider this....

Please any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Oh one more thing..my temp has never exceeded 98.0 In the morning

when I wake up or go to bed its 96.7. I tried during the day and its

in the 97 range but never higher.... Knees hurt as well. I am afraid

to increase my Armour as when I took 2.5 grains I was shaking and

nervous really bad.....

Taking thyroid meds (especially ones that WORK) is a strain on your adrenals. If

you had increased slow;y your adrenals would have time to catch up as they are

not really bad, but you increased too fast & the T3 in Armour is making itself

felt in stressing your adrenals to the max, I bet if you took a saliva adrenal

test today with your symptoms you would find typical adrenal fatigue. You have

two choices, back off the Armour a bit, like a grain wait at least 2 weeks or

even three better, then go up by 15 MG increments, or back off Armour by 1 grain

and add in adrenal support.

HYPO is better than where you are headed! Yes sometimes we have to remain

slightly hypo in order for the adrenals to catch up.
