Continued high cortisol and testosterone!

I have read your posts and after a year of high liver alk phos was finally switched to Nature Thyroid as I think the Synthroid was storing up in my liver. But my cortisol and testosterone continue to be high on my saliva tests. I just added progesterone and estradiol recently and feel better but the high results alarm me because it has been high for a long time.

Also, other that B complex, sellenium and zinc for thyroid, what do you take supplementally?

Clutter,

I have had high liver function (without cause - eat healthy, dont drink), high testosterone and high cortisol. Just switched to NatureThyroid. Can you look at my numbers and maybe we can find a reason for my ailments as I think it is thyroid- hormone related. Though I feel really good on the new meds.

Dlbynum,

Can you post the lab ref ranges for the FT4 and FT3 results (the figures in brackets after the results)? TSH is a little high which may indicate you are undermedicated.

I am on a multivitamin but I see that the zinc and selenium are low for what I read here. Is there a specific thyroid vitamin you recommend? I have had an awful 2 years of liver ALP/ALT high, stomach problems and believe it is all thyroid related.
