I am in total agreement with this! One of the things that puzzles me about

myself though, is this---It has been suggested by someone on the boards that I

might be having an aldosterone problem, but I don't understand that, considering

that I always have a low-normal sodium, a low-normal potassium, yet I have the

symptoms of tired adrenals. What gives with that? I haven't had these adrenals

checked, but AM considering getting the progesterone. My cholesterols are

always excellent (except for the test I had back in the fall when I was severely

hypothyroid), higher in the good ones, low in the bad ones, and low

triglycerides. I've been depleted of progesterone since I was in my late

20s-early 30s. Everything I've read about progesterone says that it does raise

the cholesterol. I'm thinking that a little goes a long way?

Thanks for your post. I'm new to this message board. I have hashi's

and just found out my cortisol level is extremely high 862 (10-80

normal) not sure what the next step is. But at least I now know what

is wrong. Hope I get a GOOD doc. Beccajo

Hi Beccajo,

Welcome!

Wow, that's a pretty hefty cortisol. What symptoms do you have with this, if I

may

ask?

One thing I would recommend you read about is phosphatidyl serine. Studies show

it

reduces/normalizes cortisol levels. Have tried it myself and it works. Can be

obtained OTC. But I would also think it would be important that you find the

underlying cause for this elevation. Keep us posted on this, will you?

I have hypoaldosterone. It is not really like regular adrenal stuff. Go to

www.goodhormonehealth.com there is an article
