Armour
Sorry all should have put this on my first post, I'm in the process of ordering some armour, what is the best to get in grains I'm new to all this and what is a starting dose, I am hoping it will give me some sort of life back especially getting rid of the anxiety vertigo etc which come for no reason

Horrendous Blood Test Results
Hi Everyone, I've just collected my results:- FT3 12.3 (3.5-6.5) FT4 31.5 (11-23) TSH 0.05 Obviously the lab has said I'm over replaced! I am taking Cimetidine 200mcg 3 times a day, that affects absorbtion of Levothyroxine. (On the patient leaflet) I have low cortisol

Help with Armour and high bp please
Have managed to get myself up to 1.5 grains of armour, no levo, feeling ok, just a bit undermedicated. Cortisol results show low cortisol throughout the day and high DHEA, the results came back with a comment stating there is a recent study showing low cortisol and high DHEA can be a marker for PTSD

Help with results please!
After years of GP 'treating' me according to TSH results alone, going up and down levo doses from 0 to 175mg but never feeling better (terrible fatigue, 2 stone weight gain, joint/muscle pain, hair loss, swollen ankles, dry skin, depression, brain fog etc) years after a previous GP tested me positive

Need to Vent!
I am so incredibly exhausted right now and my pain is spiralling out of control :( I had my Remicade Infusion today and literally took everything that was left inside me (which wasn't much)-- after a long crash all evening in my bed, I have woken up to feel even worse and now I feel ulcers deep inside

Seeing Dr S tomorrow. Need advice re Low Cortisol.

Blood results. Help, please.
Have just had blood results requested by endo. Am very pleased with her attitude and the letter sent to GP. TSH (on 50ug of levo) at 0.45 which she states she is happy about. Not worried about my BP so here's hoping this will make the GP focus on thyroid stuff and not BP. No coeliac. Low cortisol at

Any answers on morning anxiety?
Hi, folks. I have just ordered Paul Robinson's book on the CT3 method, but something another member said has me wondering. If I wake up with anxiety, might it be because I have low cortisol levels and that adrenalin is being produced because of this? Anyone got any info? I have quite a fast and thumpy

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
