Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I meant " full adrenal fatigue " not " failure. " Namaste to all from Kathmandu. I had my first Diagnos-Techs test in the summer of 2005 and was in stage 7, full adrenal failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a ramp up schedule in the files section, you need to graph your temps per www.drrind.com while you are ramping it up so you can tell when you are high enough. I would NOT mix HC adn Isocort, Isocort woul probably be a waste of time for you anyway as your levels are so low. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 So sorry about the source reference. Yes, I know ¼ tsp = 10 mg. I’ve looked at the ramp up schedules… thanks. Is it a good assumption that all the hydrocortisone will be absorbed into the blood stream? Should I dose even if I’m going back to sleep? Should I supplement with DHEA? I didn’t realize my temps would vary, given that my thyroid seems to be fine, but I’ll start graphing and see how it goes. Has anyone else had a similar experience in which you test very low but seem to do OK?

I would also think DHEA would be helpful and you might even get a bit better energy from it. Probabyl 10MG daily. I have seen 1-2 people thta had veyr bad labs that had adapted their lifestyle ot live with it. Your thyroid is fine as it is all just sitting in the blood and not getting otthe cells . When you get a little cortisol in you the blood levels will drop adn show the true status of your thyroid which is probabyl quite hypothyroid. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Val, this is very interesting... " Your thyroid is fine as it is all just sitting in the blood and not getting otthe cells . When you get a little cortisol in you the blood levels will drop adn show the true status of your thyroid which is probabyl quite hypothyroid. " I've seen blood pooling mentioned and need to read more about how having some cortisol in me will change my cellular thyroid levels. Any suggestions? Hope you're staying warm. We don't have central heating and it drops to mid-30s every night! Ellie -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions?<< If yo uhave blood thyroid testing done and saliva testing done while low in cortisol you will see a huge differnce in labs. It will be MUCH higher in the blood than the saliva as the slaiva shows tissue levels. Cortiso works like a doorman in the T3 receptors. Without enough cortilsl the thyroid sitsin theblood but cannot get through the doors(receptors) into the cells. So in adrena;l fatigue the blood thyroid levels oftne show a high Free T3 or even over range on very low doses of thyroid, but the cellular levels as shown in saliva will be very low. It is the tissues where thyroid does it's work. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
