Thank you, but this is no help, I can't sleep, I spend my nights twisting and turning.

Vit D was low so started taking supplements, which has got that to a good level.

i need something to assist me with sleep first, without interruption.

and I take a B complex supplement

Some things that have helped me to sleep, although I've never found anything which is terribly reliable - I have high cortisol too, and insomnia is the bane of my life.

5-HTP : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-Hyd...

This is available over the counter or online without a prescription. I take 50mg each evening, about an hour before bed.

Magnesium : I take 300mg magnesium citrate each evening, but there are other compounds of magnesium which help too. Avoid magnesium oxide because very little is absorbed. My dose is not particularly high, I know some people take more. Magnesium compounds are generally easily purchased over the counter or online.

Melatonin : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melat...

This is only available on prescription in the UK. However, it is not illegal, and it can be bought online and imported very easily. It is available in doses from 1mg up to 10mg per pill. Since it is a hormone the body produces in tiny quantities, my feeling is that low doses are best.

Are they going to test to find out WHY your Cortisol is too high..because that is really important. What are the ranges? Was this blood, urine ?

[Stormx in reply to faith63]

Faith63

it was a urine test, i don't know exactly why its. but its uncommon with hypo

ranges

1 = 19.1

2 = 7.8

3 = 16.1

4 = 2.2

total 45.2 nmol/L

Hi storms - I see you had 24hr urine test done & seems to

list 4 results (similar to 24 hr saliva). Could you PM me

which lab did this test (if done privately). Need to get one

done myself. Thanks

[Stormx in reply to QUE6T-33]

hi I had those tests done my a private doc, Dr chapman from a Hendon.

[QUE6T-33 in reply to Stormx]

What hospital or Private lab did the urine test please ?

Was it The Doctors Laboratory ? Thanks. I've seen

Him too.

[Stormx in reply to QUE6T-33]

hi

its Genova diagnostics

[Stormx in reply to QUE6T-33]

how did you find Dr chapman?

[QUE6T-33 in reply to Stormx]

Slow going ! How about you ? Was

Genova Test expensive ?

[Stormx in reply to QUE6T-33]

to be honest i don't remember verbatim however i believe all in all in was pricey

[QUE6T-33 in reply to Stormx]

What level if a Thyroid meds are you

taking ?

[Stormx in reply to QUE6T-33]

I am currently taking t3, but that has run out, so I may go back to t4 for now

[QUE6T-33 in reply to Stormx]

Dr. chapman doesn't seem keen on

T3 only meds I found. What dose

are you on & do you feel ok on it ?

I'm on NDT & T3 but believe my

dose is just too low.

[Stormx in reply to QUE6T-33]

yh I am not under Dr Chapman, he put me on Nutri Thyroid and I did not think it worked for me. t3 50mg

its ok but its early days and now its finished Im actually gonna try another one of the combi, Thyroisd to see how it goes

[QUE6T-33 in reply to Stormx]

Hope you feel better on it. Yes,

Chapman goes very slow in meds.

Hope you feel better soon, go

careful going from T3 only to

NDT.

[Stormx in reply to QUE6T-33]

i will thank you

[jannah in reply to Stormx]

I want to have test could you send me the detail of the Dr and the place in Hebron I live just around the corner.

I feel my Dr r not doing anything or basically ignoring me and if I am having problems I like to act on it sooner before it damages you.

[jannah in reply to Stormx]

Help me too in providing the info. I live around the corner of hendon

[Heloise in reply to jannah]

jannah, I suggest you ask them in a private message. Just click on their name and then "send message" off to the right in that page. I don't live in the UK.

[jannah in reply to Heloise]

Thanks for the Info

I find holy basil very helpful, and seriphos too.
