Feeling Bad Again

[Guest guest]

It's been 3.5 weeks since I started taking Adrenal support, and wow, has it only been that long? I felt so much better, so immediately, such relief.

Now...the last 3 days or so I've been feeling bad again. I'm tired, can't wake up easily like when I first started taking it, really tired around 2pm again, feeling better in the late afternoons/evenings. I had a migraine this morning, but there's also a Tropical Storm (Zeta) out there, and tropical systems/hurricanes always trigger my migraines, but this one isn't paricularly strong and it's pretty far out there, so I'm thinking maybe it's less a storm-induced migraine and more a hormone induced one.

Now I have to figure out...which hormone(s)???

Should I increase the Adrenal? I tried a few days taking an extra 1/4 tablet, making a total of 3/4 tablet once a day in the mornings, and it doesn't seem to matter if I take a half or 3/4 of it.

It's been the same amount of time since my last Synthroid dose change, but I didn't feel the difference until the 5th week the first two times I increased the dose, but this time we decreaed (from 100mcg to 88mcg), so would I feel the change sooner due to that? Did the addition of adrenal make my body use up more of the thyroid hormones and now I just need to increase again back up to 100mcg? Perhaps my thyroid is just getting worse and that's all it is?

Is it too soon for a blood test, and would my doc even entertain one this soon? Should I just tough it out for a couple more weeks and see what happens? I feel so lousy again, I felt so great for a little while and it was such a blessing and wonderful to have my brain back. Still is, though possibly my brain function has decreased slightly in the last few days, hard to tell exactly, it's no where near as bad as before, just doesn't feel like I'm thinking as clearly as before. I'm so tired of feeling tired and run down. I feel like a slug, like a complete moocher, like I should be contributing more to life but just can't. ARG.

Symptoms that have returned, to a degree: a little bit more constipation than before, but I'm taking Magnesium for it so it's not a problem at all, it's just I've noticed it's more " solid " than perhaps a week ago, and the swelling in my ankles is back. Definitely fatigue is back, and some mild depression is creeping back in. I've noticed that my appetite is lagging again...I made rigatoni for dinner last night and barely touched it. I'm also craving simple sugars, carbs, chocolate, and nuts. I'm still taking my vitamins and supplements, plenty of selenium though I was converting fine but don't know if it was because of taking that so I still take it anyway.

My temperatures have evened out between 98.4-98.6.
