Re: Digest Number 2545--Night Sweats and Fatigue--Janie

I have absolutely no doubt that the body does use more thyroid hormone

during activities such as this. Reason being, it is proven that we produce

or try to produce much more cortisol during these types of activities, so it

goes to reason that the cortisol must be working on doing something else,

like putting more thyroid hormone than usual into the body cells, plus

taking care of blood sugar, one of it's many jobs. How much that dose for

this xtra activity would be, is the mystery to me, or maybe it would vary

from person to person.
