The urine test is useless. Have you had the saliva cortisol test done? This measures your cortisol levels at 4 separate points during the day - thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

Probably worth posting your test results of you have them, or perhaps list some more of your symptoms?

Sorry to hear you are still struggling :( Just wondered if you have tried T3 on its own? Also how are your vitamin and mineral levels? Xx

Have you read the book by Paul Robinson - Recovery with T3. He is a member of this forum and you can find him in Members and read his posts. Also his website rwt3.com He talks about the circadian rhythm of taking T3 which has a positive effect on the adrenals....

Just a thought....

Can you please explain a bit more about what you mean by 'horrible vibrations' please? I have not mentioned ever before about this weird sensation I have in my pelvis very regularly, which is hard to explain. I wondered if it was the same for you. The best I can say is that if I had a mobile phone in my apron pocket set to silent/vibrate, and it was ringing for about five minutes at a time, randomly over a few hours - that is it! It is not painful, just very peculiar! I never say about it, since it is just so odd but I know I am not imagining it! Along with all the other things I suffer from, this one is so minimal it isn't worth mentioning, but you have got me interested!

Hi fion,

Just a thought but have you ruled out atrial fibrillation. I have it and it is definitely more obvious to me when I am in the car and can feel it in my back.

I experience it when I wake in the mornings before I am actually really awake and as I wake it slowly disappears. Dr Lowe remarked on it and called it "internal shivering", I'm sorry I haven't got the link but it might be on this site somewhere.

Did Dr Lowe say what causes it? I'm asking as I have it sometimes and the Endo said it was excess T3. I'm not convinced.

Anxiety attacks, though I'm sure they can vary from person to person, usually involve a pounding heart, sweating, nausea, hyperventilation and sometimes a feeling of panic. Is that what you feel?

no just weird sensations like vibrations tingling etc x i must admit though 2 years ago they gave me diazapam and it did go away but obviously cant take them all the time ,i think it is definately a hormone thing as it is much worse at that time of the month ,but the endo is always right ,haha x
