T3 or Hydrocortisone

[Jamima]

I’ve historically had problems raising my levo dose, as soon as I get to 50, I start to feel dreadful. I’ve been experimenting with hydrocortisone at 2.5 and 5mg doses alongside the levo. I stopped the HC for a week to see if it made a difference and re-started again yesterday at 5mg. OH BOY! There’s no doubt in my mind that it’s helping utilise the thyroid hormone, but, how long do I keep doing this, and should I consider introducing T3 to see if that is where the problem lies?

I’m due to have another thyroid test soon but my last test showed no apparent problems with conversion. All vits and iron were optimal and I supplement daily.

Any help appreciated, thank you.

Many thanks Slitione51 - I decided to stop thyroid hormone entirely and concentrate on increasing my sex hormones as they are also in the bin, all of them. I’m using Adrenavive alongside and it seems to be ok but it’s very early days. I’ll keep testing and have found a functional doc but she has a very long waiting list. Thanks again.

unfortunately Jamima that reply was from a spammer (just writing something to make it look like they are interested, and then using that reply to post a spam link) it's been happening for a few days under a variety of new user names ...i have reported it..

Oh, right, thank you. Feel a bit daft now.

Don't feel daft .. you had no reason to think it wasn't genuine .

. they've done it on loads of people's posts .. even one from diogenes and he didn't notice either . They always write a nice and encouraging reply .. then when you've answered they come back a few days later and stuck the spam link on. hoping no one will notice.

i only noticed because there have been several and the language used is always similar.

Hopefully some one 'real' will come along and answer the question now
