Newby here with adrenal q

[Guest guest]

Hello-

My name is Carol. I have been progessively getting more and more ill

for the course of at least 7 years. I have carpal tunnel, tendonitis,

burstits, hypothyroidism, sleep disorders, fibromylagia, the list goes

on, you get the picture.

I am about to switch to armour from synthroid. My PA (Phys assistant)

is starting me at 50 micrograms of armour, from a synthroid dosage of

125 micrograms. She wants me to increase the dose after two weeks.

I also happened to find out that a test run two years ago showed

adrenal problems. I assume the adrenals are worse since my symptoms

have gotten worse too. I was told when the test was run there were no

issues, however, an RN reviewing my chart at the fibromyaglia clinic

commented that I need to have my adrenal issue corrected. This was at

a different clinic than the one prescribing the synthroid and I have

not discussed the adrenal with the prescribing physician. I assume the

adrenal problem may be why I get so exhausted when I excersize. Also,

I know I have low progesterone.

My friend who recommended armour to me suggested I post to ask what i

should do for adrenals since that may cause issues with armour (fast

heart rate, etc.) when I switch over. WHat should I do for adrenals?

Do I need to be concerned about progsterone too?

Thank you!!

Carol
