Cortisol is elevated. DHEA is within range. Now what?
Hi I had my saliva test results returned today and I'm not sure what I should do. The results are shown below. Can you advise? Do I take something to reduce Cortisol? Should I see my doctor about this? I was prescribed 25mg of Levo a few weeks back but I didn't take it until I checked my adrenals.

When to start my T3?
Hi all, endocrinologist has finally given me a trial of Liothyronine(T3) 10mcg and lowered my Levo dose to 100mcg (previously 125mcg). This is a moment that I've been waiting for but now I am apprehensive to start taking them just in case I've not got all my ducks in a row to really get the best benefits

The Connection Between B12 Deficiency and Hypothyroidism (Post 3)
When the inactive T4 thyroxine reaches the liver, it must be converted to the active form T3. To achieve this the mineral Selenium is needed. Selenium is not very common in European soils and food-deficiencies are not unusual. If there is a selenium deficiency the liver converts the T4 to REVERSE

DRIVEN BONKERS about time we had 100% answers researchers!
We are all in this, trying to find what to take, what not to consume, wanting a cure, told there isn't one or read it may be possible to get some kind of remission. You recall I, as some, can't take the meds, severe side effects. I also had several useless doctors so learned a lot from this site and

IBS help
I suffered with IBS for 10 years and lost a lot of weight/muscle tone as a result. On changing GP after house move, I discovered my GP had also been a sufferer. He recommended I try Selenium with Zinc. You can get these at Holland & Barrett. I had nothing to lose and gave it a whirl. Within 3 weeks
