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

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

Admitted for low cortisol levels?
I'm scared! Maddie went into hosp yesterday as an out patient for some bloods to monitor glucose tolerance. They also took bloods for cortisol levels etc while they were there. They also looked for diabetes insipid us too. We were sent home and told the results would be back Friday. Anyway, last night
