What about your adrenals Fiona. Could you be suffering with low

adrenal reserve. Have a look at Dr Rind's web site regarding temperature

graphing and adrenals

Subject: Temperatures the opposite of what I

would have thought

Many thanks to Sheila for the e-mails!

Anybody else find that their temperatures are the opposite of what you would

think? If your symptoms are not fixed, you would expect the basal temp to be

low in the mornings. However for me, this doesn't seem to be a reliable thing.

If anything, I find it goes low in the evenings or bed time and is higher in

the morning. Last night 36.1C this morning 36.7C. This is the opposite of what

you would expect really. Any thoughts?

Perhaps it still is evidence that I am under-medicated as there are still low

readings, regardless of the time of day.

In some ways this is the least of my worries, as I have a long list of other

signs and symptoms and poor functioning, to use as evidence for better

medication...

If I look at the 2 page list of symptoms, I can pretty much tick off the same

symptoms as before. The things that are gone are the headaches and light and

noise sensitivity. Granted others are moderated and some perhaps only occur

when my energy crashes. But being brutally honest while I am a bit better than

I was, my symptoms are only half-fixed.

So I had better get a trial of T3 combination because the situation is crazy.

At least I know that the consultant that I want to see tomorrow is in work in

the clinic and I did confirm my appointment time, so there is no mix-ups.

oops! That went off before I

had time to put the link in. Have a look at this site Fiona http://www.drrind.com/therapies/metabolic-temperature-graph

Many thanks for that link Shiela and alerting about low adrenal reserve. I have

had a known problem with the adrenals because I did the Genova saliva testing

some time back, actually did the test a couple of times. I have been taking 4

nutri adrenal extras and 4g vit c for a couple of years or more.

A while ago, I did the NHS synacthin and cortisol testing and the NHS believes

my adrenals are fine. Clearly I know I need the supplements and always

continued. Clearly I am one of those who has been on their knees with adrenal

fatigue and NHS doesn't recognise it.

Who knows if in the end the supplements are sufficient as I have never taken

steroids or DHEA.

Dr Rind's temperature graph has helped me a great deal to understand cortisol

levels in my body..basically this is the result of testing:

You can determine your thyroid and adrenal status by following Dr. Rind with a

temperature graph. You simply take your temp 3 times a day, starting three hours

after you wake up, and every three hours after that, to equal three temps. (If

you have eaten or exercised right before it's time to take your temp, wait 20

more minutes.) Then average them for that day. Do this for AT LEAST 5 days. If

your averaged temp is fluctuating from day to day more than .2 to .3, you need

adrenal support. If it is fluctuating but overall low, you need more adrenal

support and thyroid. If it is fluctuating but averaging 98.6, you just need

adrenal support. If it is steady but low, you need more thyroid and adrenals are

likely fine.

Dr Rind's graph doesn't talk much about basal temps at all. I take my basal temp

every morning while I am still laying in bed. My temps are usually 97.3 to

97.6... I rarely wake up with 98.0.....

Because you've been sleeping all night, you temps should be high in the morning

but I find most peoples aren't...... My temps reach 98.6 by 1:00 pm and they

start to drop around 7 PM so I can fall asleep at night. Usually about 97.3 when

I turn the lights out at night.

It is said that if your basal temps are below 97.6 every day, then chances are

you have a bit of adrenal fatigue....

From my reading it's actually natural for temperatures to drop off at night in

preparation for sleep so you should get some drop otherwise you wouldn't be able

to fall asleep. How much I don't know.
