That (low cortisol) is certainly the case for me (rather than excess lactic acid). I have become very " exercise intolerant " because I am just too sore and weak afterwards...for about a week. But each of us are at different stages of AF. If you have too much cortisol, exercise probably feels glorious. In the meantime, I am looking forward to the day when I'll be able to exercise again. Once I'm on the other side of this thing, I don't think I will *ever* take my health for granted again and will view exercise as a privilege, not a chore. --Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 >>If you have too much cortisol, exercise probably feels glorious.<< not even! LOL I still can't tolerate exercise except slow short walks. Even with my Am high I can't move till around 10AM. Problem is t4 to t3 conversion is stopped in either low or high cortisol states, and there is where my energy lies. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 The cortisol helps the thyroid hormone get into the cells. If my temp is low then either I need more thyroid supplementation or more cortisol. I was hoping to wean off the cortef as it was making me fat so I assumed I did not need it anymore. -- Fatigue - good and bad days I was wondering if anybody had this experience. I am very up and down in the way I feel. I could feel okay for a few days, then crash for a couple. I took the TSH blood test a few times (maybe when I felt okay) and doctor's kept on telling me that I was fine. Well, I thought that I should take it again when I'm feeling really crappy. Then, finally the test showed hypothyroidism. I was thinking that perhaps this blood test is a snapshot at that moment of what's happening in the body and that it's best to have it when you get episodes as I get. Has anybody had an experience like this? Also, this may help when doing the cortisol saliva test too. Since you have to fill the viles 4x throughout the day, wouldn't it be wise to make sure your having an " episode of fatigue " even if you have to wait another day, just to be sure the fatigue is related to adrenals. I think you can refrigerate your saliva up to two days or so...can't quite remember...another symptom of mine. in Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hee hee, I know about that, all 3 of mine were different so I trusted the mercury. And what a fool I felt like when I broke that 20 year old thermometer, it could even have been older. With all the mercury contamination detox I just went thru. Who would have thunk it would slide out of my mouth bending over to pet my cat. She was napping in the bath tub Had she been napping on the carpet it would not have broken. -- Fatigue - good and bad > days > > > > I was wondering if anybody had this experience.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 It is difficult for me to get myself to exercise due to how crummy I feel. When I start back to work I don't know what I will do. If I can just get myself to the gym I do OK. For one thing, it is freezing in the gym so that motivates me. I sometimes wonder why I feel so bad indoors and so good outdoors in the pool, tho I know they chlorine is lowering my iodine levels. -- Re: Fatigue - good and bad days Exercise is a privilege for us and I usually feel very crappy going into it, but oh well, if I don't do it I will feel just as crappy but if I do exercise than I'm detoxifying my body and mind. I will never take it or my health for granted. Blessed are those who feel well!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Funny, because Armour has made me fat and now I'm off that and will be beginning Isocort on Monday. I think that maybe it could go either way and if you are gaining weight then you need less or none of it? I'm real tired now, so I hope I'm making sense. " C. Mannelli, Ed.D.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 There are more toxic chemicals in the home than outside.
