RE: adrenal stress results

[Guest guest]

Hi

Sharon,

Genova

have put down their own interpretation of your results below, which shows you

are suffering with low adrenal reserve which needs to be treated. This is

probably the main reason you are suffering the symptoms that you are and why

you feel so rotten.. Go to our web site www.tpa-uk.org.uk and click on

'Hypothyroidism' and then click on 'Associated Conditions' in the drop down

Menu. Click on 'Adrenals' and read everything there to help you understand what

is happening and how you can start to boost your adrenal function. This

deficiency MUST be treated because the adrenal glands are the conductor of the

band which helps all the hormone glands in your body function properly.

ADRENAL STRESS STAGE

Adrenal fatigue - Non-adapted response. This generally

indicates falling levels of both cortisol and DHEA from excessive stimulation/secretion

over long periods of time. It can also reflect the effects of exogenous use of

DHEA in adrenal exhaustion states after months of DHEA supplementation.

DEVIATIONS FROM THE NORMAL CORTISOL RHYTHM

The morning cortisol level is below the normal range.

Morning cortisol may be a good indication of peak adrenal gland function since

they represent peak cyclic activity. Low morning cortisol levels suggest a

degree of adrenal hypofunction.

The noon cortisol level is below the normal range.Noon

cortisol levels may be a good indication of adaptive adrenal gland function

since they represent the adrenal glands response to the demands of the first

few hours of the day.Low noon cortisol levels suggest a degree of adrenal

hypofunction with decreased adaptive response.

A low afternoon cortisol is suggestive of suboptimol adrenal

functioning.

Hi Sheila,

I've looked at the files and printed off the bit by Dr.Barry Durrant-Peatfield for my GP.I've got an appointment with him on Monday morning,so its all good timing to start getting treatment.Should I print of anything else to give to him,to help him treat me? What should I ask him to treat me with and at what dose,as he has never treated someone with adrenal fatigue before.Do you think my results looked ok [as far as adrenal fatigue goes],or are my adrenals quite fatigued? My GP has prescribed me T3,should I start taking that any time soon,or should I treat my adrenals for a while first? Do you think its worth taking the T3,or should I just push for Erfa instead,but might I need a boost of T3 anyway?Sorry for the 20 questions,but I want to get it right when I see my GP and get the right treatment. Thankyou kindly.

Best wishes Sharon

Sorry Sheila,forgot to ask a couple of questions.As I havent been on levo for over 2 months now [came off it,due to possible RT3 problems] ,how will I know if the RT3 problem has stopped? Will coming off levo stop RT3? Also,can I get adrenal fatigue treatment on the NHS from my GP? He did say he would look at my private test results and treat me if I had adrenal fatigue,but Im not sure he knows what treatment he should give me.Thankyou kindly.

Your GP will be very unlikely to treat you with low adrenal

reserve and this is something you should do yourself, especially as your

results show your levels of cortisol are very low. You could ask your GP to

send you for a short synacthen test to see whether you could be suffering with

's disease. Personally, if this was me, I would buy Nutri Adrenal Extra

(see our DISCOUNT folder in the FILES section where TPA members can get up to

33% off their thyroid and adrenal products). You need to start these on their

own, without thyroid hormone replacement for at least 7 days to boost your

adrenals, and then start your T3 as prescribed by your GP. I would not try for

Erfa at this stage, the T3 may well work fine for you. Your GP is unlikely to

prescribe you anything for low adrenal reserve, but it is always worth asking.

let us know his response.

If you have reverse T3 problems, you should not take

levothyroxine, you need to treat with T3 until you get onto the correct dose

that will start to get the active hormone back into the cells. Read Nick's web

site, he has lots of information regarding this http://thyroid-rt3.com/

Hi Sheila,

If my GP did treat my low adrenals,what treatment should I ask for? I'll ask him for the short synacthen test anyway,but as you cant get Nutri Adrenal Extra on prescription,what would be the closest alternative,as my GP wont have heard of Nutri Adrenal Extra,so wont know whats in it.Thankyou.

Thanks Sheila,I will ask him tomorrow and let you know the outcome.I will ask him for the short synacthen test and I'm gonna ask him to send me for a progesterone and oestrogen level test as well and see what that comes up with too.Thank you kindly Sheila.

Probably Isocort - though not sure whether that is prescribable. He might be prepared to give you HC in a physiological dose, but I am not really sure about this Sharon.
