OK - I was finally able to get a copy of my MIL's saliva labs:

From Neuroscience Inc.

Cortisol Saliva (ng/ml)

(optimal range) (observed range)

7:00 AM 10.9 (7-10) (8-15)

11:00 AM 2.3 (3-6) (3-7)

5:00 PM 1.8 (2-4) (2-4)

10:00 PM 1.7 (<1.5) (<1.5)

TSH 1.98 (.27-4.2)

Free T4 1.28 (.93-1.70)

Free T3 270 (230-420)

She was on 75 ug Synthroid with 1/4 grain of Armour for about 5

weeks then she started feeling hyper so the doctor retested thyroid

TSH 1.26 (.27-4.2)

Free T4 1.15 (.93-1.70)

Free T3 266 (230-420)

Now she is on 75 ug Synthroid and 2 doses of 1/4 grain of Armour.

Would you recommend HC supplementation for her? I'm instructing her

to take her temps so I will check to see what her progress is with

that. She tried Isocort but was getting bad headaches so now I had

her try some HC cream. I was able to find a 1 ml syringe so it's a

little easier to dose .25 ml that way. The syringe fits right in

the top of the tube and can get dispensed this way.

thanks for any advice!

Isocort wouldbe helpful but her AM id good so that is what I suually

look at for HC needs.>

she was having problems with Isocort. would a little HC cream be

OK? I will see if she can get her Ferritin levels checked. I am

getting mine checked as well. Any opinions on her thyroid levels?
