Low T3 Low Cortisol - bloating / fluid retention
Hi everyone, I have low T3 and really low Cortisol. I've been taking 60mg of pregnenolone for a few months now and am just starting out on T3 at 12.5mcg for a few weeks. I've also been taking 10-20 propranolol, which I've just stopped in the last day. I've just had my first normal range cortisol results

Does anyone know the work of Dr. Ray Peat?
I have been reading a few articles by RP plus an interview with him by Mary Shomon, and I have to say I am really confused. I must have misunderstood something, but if anyone here is familiar with his work please tell me where I got it wrong: - he seems to say that T4 blocks the action of T3, yet advocates

Low cortisol levels thyroid hormone levels, especially on T3/NDT
I find this article on low cortisol, and the interaction between thyroid hormone and cortisol, very interesting, especially since it was written by a doctor able to think outside the box: http://hormonerestoration.com/Cortisol.html A few months ago, I weaned myself off Medrol (put on 4 mg daily by hormone

When I was a baby, a drunk driver hit my parents' car. I suffered a concussion, shutting down my endocrine system--low thyroid, low cortisol, inactive pituitary, and on, and on. Nobody caught it for years, and then they had no real solutions. Well, if it is to be, it's up to me and all that, so I hit

NDT causing high cortisol and anxiety
Hi, I'd be so grateful for advice. I feel dreadful. I've attached my latest Saliva test. I have gone from too low cortisol to too high. It happens straight after I take my NDT. I have been taking 110mcgs x 3 times a day. I was taking the first dose 2 hours before I got out of bed. This was the strategy

Low normal cortisol
Can anyone please advise on low cortisol. I've uploaded cortisol test result from a 24hr urine test done at the hospital. Over the previous 4 years I've lost scalp eyebrow hair. I believe this the reason why. The NHS will never treat me and I will have to continue to watch my hair fall out. Although

Hydrocortisone, please help
I am in a really bad place, undiagnosed because of "normal" blood tests, but I suspect severe hypo because of low pulse and very low body temperature. Low cortisol ( I have done the 24 h saliva test). I have an appointment with a doctor in Belgium soon, but I am getting worse every day with dizziness
