shortness of breath, skin is cracking etc. What can be the reason?

Could it be high cortisol or I need thyroid medicine at this point?<<

I would say you need thyroid also have Ferritin checked.

Thanks Val. Is there any pre-requisite for Ferritin testing? My temps

are stable at 98.6

No pre-requisite at all bu t being hypo may make your Ferritin low. Low

ferritin myay cause you to not use the thyroid properly. Have you had

recent thyroid labs? You may have another problem wiht normal temps and

stil lhaving these symptoms.

No Val, I do not have recent thyroid tests but notable thing is that I

feel really good when I start any thyroid medicine or even cortisol

but then improvements go away. In case of thyroid, improvements do not

last more then a week but in case of cortisol, it works for more then

couple of weeks. I tried to balance thyroid for more then 3 years and

now I am concentrating on adrenals for last 4 months as per my labs

for aldosterone and renin.

Thanks

Val,

I remember that I had CBC test few months ago. Do you think those will

be helpful? If so, I can post them for your review.

Thanks

A CBC doe not tell much about thyroid. But it shiould list electrolites

such as sodium and potassium whihc can also be off with weak adrenals.

Sorry Val. Actually I just read about Ferritin and found that it is

iron related and thought that it might have some values in CBC.

Thanks a lot. Will go for test tomorrow and will let you know the

results once received.

Lots of thanks once again!!!

Val,

I got Ferritin test results you asked as follows:

result: 25.7 ng/mL

reference range: 28-365

Looks like it is little less then lower limit but I am not sure how

much it matters. Please guide me if it matters.

Thanks a lot!!!

Ferritin is extremely important....I suspect Val is going to tell you

that your Ferritin is way too low.

Ferritin mattes ALOT when it comes to utilizing thyroid hormones. You

need to suplement with 150-200 mg daily of elemental iron until you are

between 70 & 90 whihc is optimal range for women. You will probabyl;

have trouble raising thyroid until you get it at least in the upper 40's.

Val,

Thanks a lot for your quick response. I have bought Ironchel 18 from

GNC, which is Ferrochel 18 mg, which means I might need around 10

capsules daily. Is it ok?

Is it ok if I take it along with Cortef? Also, please note that I am

male, so you might need to mention different dosage daily. (I think

women need little less then men as I read some where)

Thanks
