Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 The only lab I can think of that might require the blood to be frozen for shipping is Renin and Aldosterone labs. But it is mor3 likely they would do and ACTH Stim test. If oyu are on HC thye are not accurate. You r T4 is low and should be at least 1.4 by most lab's ranges. They are telling you your thyroid is normal basesd on the TSH which is a pituitary hormone and VERY inaccurate. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 If your on cortisol you will need to take Dexa somethin and get off the cortisol for two weeks prior to the ACTH test. --- woslambert wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I wanted to get some interpretation from all of you > and see waht you > thought on this.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I'm not on HC persay, but I have been using the cream sparingly on a rash I have on my chest and I did try rubbing the cream in on my wrists a few days last week to see if I started feeling better. I forgot to add that last week during my crappy days I started putting my Synthroid under my tongue and all weekend I felt better but I got jittery. I still think that feeling was far better than feeling weak and tired and not being able to play with my 7mo old daughter. By the way I lost 5lbs doing it under my tongue and getting jittery. Has anyone else tried this w/ Synthroid and will this affect my test results tomorrow? > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I wanted to get some interpretation from all of you > > and see waht you > > thought on this.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Using that cream without specifically dosing can really mess you up. It did me. You may think you are using a little but you could be getting 40 or 50 mg of HC. I was doing this for fungus and had no idea that it was messing me up and throwing me further out of balance until I really crashed badly over the summer. I would stop any cream.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Since I'm using the cream most of the time to dose HC instead of pills, I really agree you should be off the cream for the two weeks before the test. When I started using the HC cream instead of pills for my HC (waiting for pills to arrive) it was such a small amount, I was shocked to think how much I had been using on eczema rashes. It is a pain to have to stop and wait two weeks before testing adrenal function, but it would be a big waste to test while you are on HC and get an inaccurate result. sol MsSquarepants wrote: > Using that cream without specifically dosing can really mess you up.
