TK--- very helpful to determine what is happening to do a complete panel. Ask for another script and make the lab do the whole panel.

Is there something specific you use to support > your adrenals that works well? TK--- support adrenals first - some people can get away with natural supplements others of us need rx meds - [hydrocortisone]. Get thyroid retested properly and then also support it. Again support for thyroid can differ and some can get away with armour - many of us use time release T3 as this is the thyroid hormone that does all the work and is usually deficient or not being made sufficiently. > > Carie > > > > > Many of us had low TSH and hypothyroid symptoms.
