Help with test results
Hi everyone, I posted the following results last week and now have B12 and folate results back: B12: 335 (180-914) Folate: 4.3 (3.1-20) From what I read it is not optimal? Any advise on supplement I should be taking and dosage? Do I need to do anything else in terms of tests or supplements? I have started

Does anyone take hydrocortisone?
Hey guys, sorry to ask two questions in one day. But I have incredibly low cortisol, and mild hypothyroidism. I want to start on a thyroid supplement, but am terrified of making my adrenal situation worse (it's really, really critical. I can barely function and don't want to end up in Addison's territory

Nax
Ever since the house fire on Friday I have been quite adrenalin charged, unable to sleep and unusually energetic. Should I be taking the Nax. My saliva test showed a couple of months ago that I have low cortisol but it must be really high now with all this stress.What do all you wonderful people think

Fast pulse 106 bp 136/87 was on t3 5mcg and 50 mg Levo for 10 days then noticed overstimulated although felt good. Stopped T3 and Levo now.
What next? I have rung gp surgery about having tsh and t4 tested as last blood test it was well over range when I was on 150mg Levo, although t3 was only 4.6 that's why I took big risk of self medicating on tiny dose of t3 to try and raise t3 levels in the hope my sex hormones might sort themselves out

Desperately ill and really need help
Hi. I posted a couple of years ago with serious concerns and I just keep getting worse and can't find relief from my symptoms. I have Hashimotos and cannot utilise or tolerate thyroid hormone no matter what combination or type that I try (straight T4, combo T3/T4, NDT or T3 only). I feel so very ill

Low cortisol
Hello, I am new to this forum and would really appreciate any feedback regarding a blood test Ive just had with Blue Horizon. I am feeling quiet desperate and worried. I suffer with Hashimoto's but also with adrenal fatigue which I'm assuming is causing me problems with raising my thyroid meds. At present

Adrenal fatigue and thyroid treatment
Hi all, I was diagnosed by Dr Peatfield a year ago with low cortisol, DHEA and poor thyroid function - probably as a result of the adrenals. I've been taking NAX 4 x daily for a year and T3 (20mcg) since July. My latest thyroid results are: TSH 0.06 (0.25-5) Free T4 - 8.51 (10-22) T4 - 57.2 (58-130

Hi All Wanting some advice on folic acid, I have decided to self inject due to a list as long as my arm of symptoms that indicate Hashimotos, Low cortisol and B12 deficiency. No point in fighting with my doctor anymore, what daily dose of folic acid should I supplement with every day? Am I correct
