Halfway through 's brilliant book - some questions.

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

First of all , your book is already giving me lots of food for thought and

raising some interesting questions - thank you for publishing. I have stopped

taking T4 and will be starting on my own journey through the new year ahead.

Q1 - Re cortisol and early morning dosing. Can the low cortisol level in the

morning when I wake up be why I can feel low and have this feeling of doom and

negative feelings? (I do know what it feels like to wake up feeling an almost

warm glow of being at one with the world - but this happens rarely these days).

So could dosing early -say 5ish - help to remove that feeling because of the

interaction with the cortisol?

Q2 - The synacthen tests - you mentioned that after the ACTH is injected tests

are taken at regular intervals afterwards. I had only one lot of blood drawn

(about 10.45 am) about 45 mins after and that was it.

Would that have been the short one then? I was apparently negative anyway but

how can they really know from one snapshot in one part of the day.

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HEALTHY 2012 TO ALL.
