B12D and low cortisol
Hi all, because I've been feeling awful despite weekly SI and supplements, GP tested cortisol First test (8.45 am) was 330 which was below the threshold of 400. Second test (8.30m) has come back as 445 so that is deemed ok. (Sorry don't know the units, this is standard UK measures, I'm told normal is

GP wants to take me off thyroid medication!
Hi, I'm feeling rather low after appointment within GP today. I wanted to speak with them about results from recent test showing low cortisol and DHEA levels (results in recent post) and also whether I should consider increasing current dose of Levothyroxine from 50mg to 75mg as starting to feel unwell

Adrenal cortex for low cortisol and thyroid help
I was told I have low cortisol and would benefit from taking adrenal cortex. I am looking to order Thorne online. Would anyone know how much daily would be beneficial for me so I know how many bottles to order? My cortisol results, 4 point saliva test: CORTISOL 4-point saliva 8am: 7,79 nmol/l 1,90-19,10

Test results - low cortisol and DHEA.
Hi, I've just received cortisol saliva test results from Regenerus, see photo. This shows low cortisol and DHEA levels with comments mentioning established Phase 3 HPA adrenal gland dysfunction. I'm a little surprised about these results, as I did my first saliva test with Medichecks in May and this

Think I am being set up by Dr's.
I don't know if I should be posting this rant under thyroid UK, thoughI have done before. All I know is that following advice from Thyroid UK, and after sourcing T3 and metavive, iron, vitamins, and supplements - I am so much better, and no longer have the symptoms of CFS, although I am extremely depressed

Cortisol and ACTH low? I'm so confused now.
Hi all, I also have Primary Aldosteronism and no thyroid (goitres). I am back on T4 100mgs a day. I am meant to be on 10mcgs T3 also. I do not have any new thyroid hormones tested other than one than these on 14/5/19. I became under medicated because I couldn't raise the T3 I was on and hence back

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
