Experiences with

Aldosterone test

I was diagnosed with Conns Sydrome, on the basis of elevated aldosterone, and 2 benign adrenal nodules on kidney 18 months ago. The support and treatment I gave received from York hospital has been excellent.

Many deemed ok by the GP, but test results of interest may be; 9am cortisol: 178nmol (low) Ferretin: 700 (this has been chronically high) Aldosterone: 267pmol Renin: 38mu (high) Se n term pro BNP: <50 (suggesting not HF) The ferretin is supposedly high because I'm heterozygous for haemochromatosis

I found out a year ago that I have a tumor on an adrenal gland that is producing too much aldosterone. Too much aldosterone causes low potassium and high blood pressure. I currently take potassium, carvedilol, lisinopril, Triamterene, flecainide, and xarelto.

initially I was prescribed Spriolactone to reduce aldosterone. Potassium levels became very high. Also had diarrhoea, wheezing chest, and fatigue. Felt very poorly. Had blood test and consultant stopped the Spriolactone.

Hey everyone, My aldosterone levels are very elevated at 409 (range up to 190). I'm waiting for the adrenal MRI. My endo said he's suspecting adrenal adenoma since my ACTH was low, blood cortisol high, unable to raise thyroid meds or raising and having symptoms.

Hi everyone! I wanted to give you an update since my last post. I finally found a doctor who was willing to prescribe T4 treatment! It was a total surprise, as I initially went to see him for a stomach issue. He is a gastroenterologist but is a functionnal doctor too, so we discussed my symptoms and

At the same time, it improved motor function in test animals who had their dopamine levels reduced. Resveratrol may help increase dopamine levels. Frequent sunlight exposures and exercising for 60 minutes every day help increase the production of dopamine.

Hello. So good to find you all! I was left with ‘a damaged’ thyroid after a post Covid thyroid virus called sub acute thyroiditis. Finally I was given Levothyroxin up to 50 and my energy levels went up. I remained with sensitive thyroid glands and a swollen thyroid and always feeling cold but was told

I'm on 100mcg Levothyroxine and have been steady on that dose for a long time. Recently I've noticed that noticed that my heart rate gets high 5 or 6 hours after taking my levo and I feel anxious and shakey eg: Levo taken 6am only with water no food for 2 hrs. 7am to 8am 60 to 107 and sitting or just

Hi all. I know that T3 monotherapy is not an easy route (I'm currently reading Paul Robinson's 'Recovering with T3' ) but I'm struggling so much with levothyroxine that I can't bear to keep going with it. The main thing I'd like to know is, if you react to a T3 dose (as I know it's very potent) is

Does anyone have any science or experience for how important consistency is with the timing of T3 doses during the day. Ive been playing around with single dose timing and split dose timing. I’ve seen value in the past for different schedules. Have found lots of value in this recent post: https

Hi everyone :) I would be super grateful if you could private message me details where I can buy Liothyronine. I have been on t4+T3 for many years but the cost of private prescription is getting to high. Many thanks A

Hi there everyone, Just wondering if you could clear something up for me. Just a bit of background. I started T3 (Thybon) 10th March 2.5mg am/pm, then 1st April 5mg am and 2.5mg pm and as of 22nd April, I started 5mg am and 5mg pm. So 3 week increments before upping doses. The idea is to get myself

I've just had a look at my full blood count done in Feb 24 and my Ferritin was 95 ng/ml [12 - 250] my level in March this year was 39.9 ng (12 - 250). Is that sort of variation normal.

Hi, I have been prescribed Liothyronine (T3) by the NHS for 13+years. I always received Teva, but it was replaced first with Morningside T3 (I used Teva and Morningside together ) and now I have only Strides. I have never had a problem with any brand before: Strides contains mannitol - if this is

I was diagnosed in 2014 after extreme fatigue and a positive AMA test. I had done really well on URSO for years until I started the process of a tattoo. It didn't happen immediately but within months I was jaundice, itching, and SICK.

Hello, Im in the process of arranging a short synacthen and adrenal testing but I’m finding it impossible to stop estrogen/progesterone. all my life I’ve suffered with low-lowish estrogen and low progesterone, I have never had periods so it’s massive a issue for me to stop for 6 weeks and I feel so
