No. From what I have read here, my adrenals appear to be fine.

My HR and temp are normal, although my temp is still a bit low.

Are there other symptoms of needing adrenal support?

Pulse stays about 80, but it is at times very strong, if that

makes sense. Even then it's still about 80. I have not take adrenal support

because pulse has been normal and consistent and temp is a bit low, but also

consistent.

What are other symptoms pointing to needing adrenal support?

You mentioned in another email about

using herbs and supplements for a more natural option for adrenal support.

Perhaps I need just a bit, since I don't really have symptoms? What would you

suggest and what manufacturers. (I'm really picky sources.

Have you noticed an appetite increase since being on the T3? You may be eating more than usual because you are doing more than usual and stimulating appetite.

I am eating more. I was literally starving myself before going

on T3. It was the only way I could maintain my weight, even though I was/am at

least 50 pounds overweight. I was even on a raw diet and gained weight! I was

definitely eating less than 1000 cal/day. I kept a food log for several months

for my chiro. He was convinced my diet was the reason I was so overweight. I am

now eating just as healthy, but instead of eating a piece of an apple, I eat

the whole thing! So, yes, I'm eating more, but it can't justify the weight

gain.

orthostatic hypotension can be another symptom of adrenal/aldosterone issues.

But what makes someone who used to have low aldosterone low sodium, all the sudden have high bp and low potassium?

for natural adrenal support a lot of ppl use isocort. but if you say your temps

are good....but how long have you been on T3 only? If you haven't been on it

longer than 12 weeks, I'd say you have leftover RT3 build up.

If you have been on it 12 weeks, I would explore other options.

how is your renin? and was it done at the same time as aldosterone? And how

much/how long have you been on HC? Is it high bp in addition to orthostatic

hypotension, or no?

when aldosterone is messed up, typically, the electrolytes are too.

They didnt do renin ever, but I just recieved my bloodwork results from several weeks ago..but I am feeling the same ,so it should be the same. Swelling headaches, muscle cramps in neck,back, hgih blood pressure.

sodium 136 135-145

potassium 3.7 3.5-5.2

I was taking salt, but it caused swelling...now I see i needed both. Is 20 meq enough? If I add lemon water? or should I also by no-salt. I dont like any preservatives.

My K(potassium) was 3.3 and it took 80meq to get it to 4.0. I don't believe

20meq will be nearly enough. ARe you using sea salt (the real kind- like

redmonds sea salt??)or regular salt?

I take my sea salt with orange juice. How is your ferritin? Are you on HC? If

you have low aldosterone, are you taking florinef?
