Help with bloods please...
Hi everyone, I've just had some bloods done after three months on levothyroxine. I'd be grateful if someone could give me some advice as I still feel awful. Plus, and this is really upsetting me - my hair is falling out by the bucketload. I posted a blog about my journey to diagnosis in January if anyone

Cortisol Level - is there a part of the range which is best? Also serum FSH, LH and Prolactin - any ideas on these?
Just a quick question. My cortisol result is in range. But it's in the lower part. Is it best to have a cortisol reading at the top end of the range? I ask for two reasons: 1) I suffer chronic dehydration and I was reading low cortisol can interfere with hydration levels 2) I suffer high heart

Recovery is Possible - Assuming You Know What's Really Wrong... Part 3 - Symptoms vs Tests - The Adrenal Piece of the Puzzle
Hello again. Continuing on... Having established thyroid function probably not the only problem it was confirmed with a saliva test panel (Genova). Here are the results. NOTE: This was done while I was on 0mcg thyroxine for 10 days + no other supplements. Cortisol 8.00 am 4.7 (ref. 12-22)

Please help, getting palpitations! - how to regulate T3 now I've started an iron supplement?
Sorry this is longwinded - I hope you can bear with me! I've got Hashi's and had all the hypo symptoms for over 16 years despite thyroxine replacement and "normal" blood tests; then changed to Armour (a bit better) but no big improvement. Dr P suggested adrenal supplement after saliva tests revealed

Chronic Dehydration and hypo? Link to cortisol? Pituitary function tests listed - any ideas? Please jump in and comment!
I suffer chronic dehydration. My pH is always acidic. My specific gravity is always high and reads I've severe dehydration. I've tried alkalizing drops, dessicated adrenal support and DHEA. And no matter what type (T4, NDT or T3) or dose level of thyroid replacement I take it does not alter. Reading

They also looked for diabetes insipid us too. We were sent home and told the results would be back Friday. Anyway, last night
