Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 My results show that I have high cortisol everytime except morning. Also, my estrogen is very high and my progesterone is low. My Free T4 is 1.1 Range .7 - 2.5 T3 is 3.2 Range 2.5 - 6.5 The report suggested I may have trouble using T3 at the tissue level due to my clinical symptoms. The hormone support forum suggested I stay away from Isocort because I don't need any cortisol and to go on Armour while I support my adrenals. I've been using Adrenal Cortex glands and pregnenolone which seem to have stablized my temps although they remain low. I've also started using Natural progesterone. The report suggested mercury could be causing disruption of T3 and the high cortisol is wreaking all sorts of havoc. They suggested mananging stress better. I just met up with a friend who told me to eat well and exercise. AAAAAAAAArarrgh. I keep getting blamed for my adrenals when I KNOW it is not my fault. *Something* is stressing them - either mercury or some infection (mycoplasma?). I have done everything I can to lower stress and its not working. If mercury is my main problem, when can I start chelating again to help lower my cortisol output without stressing my adrenals even further?
