just got my results on Monday. my cortisol is high sample 3 and 4 . ive started taking zinc before bed which is helping me sleep a bit better. I'm pretty much the same as you morning and lunch but by the afternoon ....
sample 3 13.32 -1.38-7.45
sample 4 7.00- 0.83-3.86
cortisol burden 61.4
I read about holy basil for this as well as zinc. I have to say I'm feeling a bit stressed but I didn't think I would have such high cortisol and I do feel pretty crap. I'm trying to raise my ndt without any success. I hope you're feeling ok.
Hi Fitzy, sorry to hear you are also dealing with high cortisol, I hope the Zinc and holy basil tea are helping. I had to reduce my NDT dose to 30mg and started taking phosphatidylserine 300mg before bedtime and it seems to be helping as I am able to sleep well at night. I also wake up feeling really rested. The only problem is that am struggling with brain fog and depression after reducing my NDT to 30mg from 60mg. I have to wait atleast 8 weeks before I can start raising again and I hope this time it will work.
Sorry to hear that you can't raise either. Its miserable im also depressed and very frustrated. Had a bad day tearful and went to bed. Will also have to cut back again from tomorrow. No brain fog yet just very bad cramps in muscles and so cold . I thought it would be easier than this. The high cortisol is so horrible and seemed to come from nowhere . Hope you feel better soon. I had replied earlier but i must have done something wrong .hope you don't get two replies . Perhaps the fog has indeed kicked in.
