Hi Could anyone help please

I have Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency & Hypothyroidism

I take Hydrocortisone as I don't produce any Cortisol & T4 & T3 & many other meds

I don't sleep hardly at all & was considering taking Magnesium

However I read that Magnesium lowers Cortisol

Does anyone know a type of Magnesium that doesn't lower Cortisol please?

hi thanks for posting,I’m sorry to hear about your complex situation, would mind sharing your symptoms and how you discovered it?

This area really interests me, I’ve been reading and listening to podcasts on magnesium recently as my daughter and mother both suffer cramps.

@seasidesusie was helping me with magnesium info a few days back, here is the link with some reading. healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

yesterday I listened to this US podcast and the nutrition expert they had on talked a lot about salts and magnesium was in there. She’d be a good person to consult. (Warning on the podcast, the first few minutes is all marketing guff from the host about her services, I skipped forward a few minutes at a time to get the interesting guest) podcasts.apple.com/gb/podca...

Hope you find some answers, I’ll be interested to hear how you get on 🦋💚🦋
