New here, referred by Missy

[Guest guest]

This is what I got from Missy after sharing my current state of health,

dosage of Armour and symptoms.

you are in stage 6 adrenal fatigue. You might read here about

stage 6:

http://www.chronicfatigue.org/ASI%206.html

As you can see, it does not look good. I would say you probably need

some HC. If you want the very best advice here: go to the NTH

adrenals group and post the link to the picture of your chart.

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/

will be excellent help to you here. I believe that adrenal

fatigue is a very important piece to your puzzle.

I really think your next step is adrenal support..and that should fix

the problems with the TSH and the FT3.

, this is most definitely not in your head! Get on some iron

right away and go over to NTH adrenals and I bet you will be feeling

better very soon.

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired, well not really sick but

definitely tired. I thought at one point that it was my adrenals that were

lacking but then after my saliva test, I was really confused. But if you

look at my blood work next to my salvia test, the numbers are all over the

place

7-8a 22 normal (13-24)

11-12a 8 normal (5-10)

4-5p 2 Depressed (3-8)

11-12p 2 Normal (1-4)

Cortisol Burden: 34 (23-42)

> ####

> TSH on blood work is 0.004 - range is 0.350-5.500

> TSH on saliva test is 66 - normal range is 26-85, borderline low is

20-25

> T3 on blood work is 5.4 - range is 2.3-4.2

> T3 on saliva test is 0.77 - normal range is 0.28-1.10, borderline low is

> 0.21-0.27

> T4 on blood work is 1.42 - range is 0.61-1.76

> T4 on saliva test is 0.36 - normal range is 0.17-0.42

Anyway, I can't figure out how to read the charts so I sent Missy a link to

view what I got online and she says I'm in stage 6 of adrenal fatigue. How

bad is that anyway? She says you are the best and that you can help me

with understanding what my next step is.
