Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Please do not switch back to synthetic T4, you have no thyroid gland! I fear the stress to your body on synthetic T4 could make it harder on your adrenals and the rest of your body. Are you taking Feosol or anything to increase your ferritin and decrease your cortisol? Have you asked the folks over in the " thyroidless " group, too?

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 OK, you are right. I think I'll stay on the Armour, but not try to increase even though my free T's are very low. I am taking Feosol, 150 mg daily for the iron and PS and zinc as well as Dr. 's supplements for the adrenals. I know it takes time and I need to be patient, this anxiety is sending me through the roof! > > > > I have no thyroid and am experiencing anxiety and shakiness almost to > > the point of not functioning.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 >>Are Dr 's adrenal supplements actual " cortisol " or things to help adrenals strengthen w/o cortisol? I ask because sometimes we throidless folks need the real deal 'because' our adrenals get so fried.<< Dr ;s supplements contain no cortisol, and I am afriad anything past stage 3 I do nto feel they work for.
