Newbie - suggestions please

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 18months ago. Prior to that I

suspected I was hypothyroid – but my TSH had only been tested – it

was normal. (I didn't have labwork done prior to starting the

Isocort – when I used a light on my pupil – it danced in and out.) I

started taking the Isocort in April this year– was up to 20mg daily

dose – tried to lower the dose – felt worse, stepped on the scales 6

pounds heavier (that was 4 weeks ago).

I am a 46 year old female on Bioidentical hormones.

My recent labs were:

Free T3 3.6 (2.3-4.2)

T4 total 6.7 (6.5-10.5)

TSH .323 (.35-5.5) I am currently on Armour 2

grains daily

Progesterone 7.4 (Mid-luteal phase 4.4-28.0)

Testosterone 75 (14-76)

DHEA 458 (35-430)

I have also been doing ¼ teaspoonful of sea salt twice daily

Right now I am taking the Isocort 4-3-2-1. The first 3 pounds came

right off when I upped the Isocort again. I still feel " washed out "

in the middle of the day – Just drank some caffeinated diet pop just

to be able to function around my kids this afternoon. Any

suggestions? When I saw my physician 2 weeks ago – I told him I

suspected adrenal fatigue – he offered to do the tests. I declined –

since I was on the Isocort. He offered to write an rx for

hydrocortisone – I said I'd think about it? Suggestions?
