Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 -I am curious if any of you with low thyroid have had your adrenal function checked as they are closely related. If you are taking thyroid meds without improvement, have your adreanl function checked as that could be contributing. Its a simple saliva test you can do at home.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Is this an over the counter test?

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Had mine tested twice. Once, a 12 hour test clearly showed low adrenal function until mid day, then slowly improving for the rest of the day. But it was from a " respected " mail order lab, so most MD's and insurance companies don't trust it. I was later tested, after being on thyroid, for 3 hours, from 12-3pm, at Stanford. They found nothing...so either the thyroid meds I had been on improved it, or, Stanford did it at the wrong time of the day, or their test wasn't as sensitive as the mail order test. ________________________________ From: dianebolton52 <dianebolton@...> Subject: [] Re: Thyroid Meds -I am curious if any of you with low thyroid have had your adrenal function checked as they are closely related.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 If you haven't seen any improvement from Synthroid, you should try another thyroid Rx. For example, Armour (a natural derivative of pig thyroid that contains more complete hormones but may be a little more variable in content), or Levoxyl (don't go generic-it's a bit different), or consider adding Cytomel, e.g. 5mcg. I couldn't tolerate Synthroid, did OK on Armour, and also did OK on Levoxyl + Cytomel. ________________________________ From: " Gingersnap1964@...
